Patch: 0.5.9.3
Written by: Goku

Dear community,

Hello everyone, before we go over the patch notes we are here to chat about some things in regards to patches. It has come to our attention that when the game gets updates or patches there has been an outcry for better communication in the patch notes and things being missed from patches. Going forward we are going to have a different format that will allow us to list all of the bugs squashed, content added and just about anything else related to game updates. This should hopefully allow us to deliver the most accurate information to you guys. Now I don’t want to bore you with the ramblings of an old Saiyan.. Let’s just get right into it!!!!


Patch notes for build: 0.5.9.3

-Fixed an issue where the game is crashing when saving a huge save game while trains are moving.

-Fixed an issue where trains were sinking into the ground when traveling at low speeds, shunting and driving over turntables.

-Fixed a bug where engines would stop at low regulator settings.
Notes: This one took a couple of test builds to figure out, thankfully the team found an adjustment for it. To fix this issue we adjusted physics settings for vehicle movement in general.

-Fixed an issue where it was no longer possible to re-rail things from the bottom of the log pond.
Notes: Put on your scuba gear and get down there and fetch your engines and cars that more than likely rusted over by now!

-Fixed an issue where brakes were not releasing properly.
Notes: This bug was known as the ghost brake bug in the community, this issue has been resolved. However it is important to note:
There is a bug in UE version 5.0.3 where we are no longer able to set brakes at individual values either the brake is off or on at the moment, we are planning a UE version update that will hopefully fix this issue. Stay tuned for more on this bug.

-Fixed an issue where engines could not be properly re-railed onto turntables

-Fixed an issue when 3rd person driving and the UI would flash for certain things on the UI

-Fixed an issue where it was only possible to unload coal cars from one side at a coal tower.
Notes: Praise the sun, you can now unload from both sides of the coal car not both sides of the coal tower.

-Fixed an issue where the firewood depot was not refilling log stacks back to full
Notes: you should now see log stacks refill once you take logs from the piles.

-Fixed an issue when rerailing a locomotive or a car that it would hang in the air after a successful re-rail

-Fixed an issue where the couplers on the Shay “Grabs” cars and could not be uncoupled anymore.
Notes: Fine, take your cars back. **sad shay noises**

-Fixed an issue when in first person the regulator could not be directly set from 0% to 100% or vice versa after using the locomotives ui and 3rd person driving

-Fixed an issue when loading a plantation car with a crane. Some cars would not be loaded with cargo.
Notes: due to the small nature of the cars you still have to be precise when loading these little guys. Make sure you line up to the crane as best as you can!

-Fixed an issue where stock car lettering was not showing up in the buy menu.



Additions

-Changed the helper menus to now be under the mouse cursor for better visibility

-Added a mph speed readout to the locomotives 3rd person driving UI. In addition to this compressors and generators have been removed off of locomotives that never had them fitted.

-Moved buy track into locomotive factory building.
The locomotive factory building replaces the buy track and even features lights for you night owls out there. The old preview track has been removed and an invisible wall taken down to allow for building rails in that area.



Alright, that is what to expect for patch notes going forward. We are also aware that this update does not cover everything that was reported but you can be sure that we are working on it.
