Signal track directions!
In every mode and mission, it is now possible to change the directions trains can go in, per segment of track. Just click the track icon with the traffic lights in the top right of the screen when playing any mission, map or scenario. Then, click on any segment of the track to change the allowed direction of trains on that section. Single, green arrows signal a one-way track, and blue double arrows signal a two-way track.
Create and share via the Editor and Steam Workshop integration
Railroad Corporation now has Steam Workshop integration! You can create and share new maps, scenarios and missions for both singleplayer and multiplayer from the editor in the main menu, and you can play community maps, scenarios and missions by subscribing to them from the Steam Workshop hub! Note that the editor has a 'beta' tag on it. That's because the editor might still contain some bugs. If you find any, please let us know in the bug reports section of the Steam forum.
That's not all, check out the full changelog below!
