[b]Dear Community,[/b]
Hello, and welcome to another [b][url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1696810/Railroads_Online/]Railroads Online[/url][/b] update. In the patch notes below you will find an in-game wiki, tutorial, new industry, and a few other changes we have made!
For a quick overview, we also created a video for you:

Of course, we have also been hard at work in testing some backend stuff to improve the game and we will share more about those changes at a later time when we feel that the changes are in a good place and ready for release to the public.
A Free Weekend is approaching!
To celebrate the update, Railroads Online will be [i]completely free-to-play[/i] from [b]November 16, 10 AM Pacific[/b] to [b]November 20, 10 AM Pacific[/b]. In addition, the game will be discounted for everyone who wants to join us on board!
Create your very own world or meet up with other railroaders in a multiplayer session for up to 16 players!
[i](Yes, multiplayer is also free.)[/i]
Do you have some friends who are ready to serve the valley? You should definitely make sure they're aware of the Free Weekend and ready for a fun time! ????
