Patch: 0.5.9.8 Written by: Goku [b] Dear community,[/b] With Gamescom come and gone, it is now time for some more bug fixes and content. Below you will find the typical list of bugs we have been able to fix and some new goodies for you to add to your railroad. [b]Patch notes for build: 0.5.9.8.1[/b] -Fixed bug where the player could delete industries. [b]Patch notes for build: 0.5.9.8[/b]

• Fixed a bug where the helper UI would not disappear after looking at things. Switches, Couplers, Fireboxes, Cab interior. After some testing it now looks like the UI now goes away after a few seconds after looking at an object.
• Fixed a bug where the pin inserting sound would continue to go off on client side.
• Fixed a bug in testing where the demolish filter would reset to an empty state and not show rails, facilities, groundwork etc.
• Fixed a bug where a player could not connect off of a coal tower. This bug was reported to us from a member off of the discord.
• Fixed a bug where there was no sounds for the EBT hopper. Hopper now has sounds when using brakes and dropping in pins and links.
• Fixed a bug where air compressors would lose air over time.
• Fixed a bug where an uncoupling pin will stay in the coupler with the pin. When taking a pin out of a coupler the link does not stay in the other coupler that has the pin.
• Fixed type 1 wooden trestle. The hitbox is no longer a solid object
• Adjusted the lights in the locomotive facility. The light above the Locomotive or Rolling Stock you are buying has been brightened up a bit. Let us know if this needs to be adjusted more.

[b]Added Content:[/b]

• Added Version Control: When searching for a server the game displays the server version. If the version is equal you can see the Join button. If your game version is different you can still see the server but you can not join. This prevents you from accidentally joining games that are in another branch or do have another version, which caused a lot of crashes.
• Added placeable props
• New props menu -Rotate props with Num 2,4,6 and 8 (same as increase/decrease track radius and elevation). The rotations may be different based off of your key binds -Props include signs -Text sign (text can be set by the player) -Buildings (Western theme) -Decorations -Added platforms to the decorations menu, platforms look like the ones around spawn -NOTE: Do not place props on rails or attach them to stock/engines as this can cause some weird hit box interactions that may send you into the RRO space program. -Props can be placed without having to go in and select the props menu again. -Example you place one fence then you can keep placing fences until you cancel object placing.
• Added wood rick as a placeable facility object. This facility object will provide plenty of wood to refill your tenders. It does auto refill but at a slow rate.
• You can now rotate all placeable objects. This includes facilities. Rotate with Num 2 and 4 (same keys as increase/decrease track radius). The rotations may be different based off of your key binds.

[b]Conclusion[/b] Having placeable props is exciting and I hope to see all of your builds you guys come up with. We have decided to add in placeable structures because we wanted to not disrupt your already built railroads. This also allows for some awesome creative moments and makes every map unique and more controlled by the players. In the future, we may have pre-placed towns on new maps or just allow you to build what you want where you want, however this is a conversation for a different time. For now we hope you enjoy some of the goodies we added and we look forward to bringing you more fixes and content. Below you will see some in-game shots of some of the props the team has been messing with. That being said, there will be an additional information update posting for you next week, including some insights into the team of Railroads Online and a look at our... [b]roadmap?!?[/b] ???? We hope you have a wonderful day and remember to be kind and let your creativity run free. We look forward to sharing more with you when the time is right. Thank you for being patient with us! Much love! Your Railroads Online Team!
