Say hello to the cattle!
A new industry is here, and it certainly adds another layer of complexity! To make sure you know how it all works, we've prepared a handy little graphic:
Other than that, we fixed a lot of bugs, introduce some new locomotives and cars, provide some cute little decoration, among much more things! Check out the full patch notes below!
One last note, I know you guys were anticipating snow on Pine Valley and parts of Lake Valley. For this year we decided to [i]not[/i] add snow. However, you will still get some snow in a future bigger update... stay tuned for that in the coming months!
Patch notes for The Cattle Update
[b]New Content[/b]- Upgraded the game to now run on Unreal Engine 5.3 [list]
- With the addition of 5.3, the variable brake bug has now been resolved.
- Brakes now work as intended from 0%-100%
- This is used to transport water from the well to the wheat farm and cattle farm
- Please note that the water from the water well is a new freight type
- You take grain, water and straw here to produce cows
- Bring coal and cattle here to produce meat product
- Can be sold at the freight depot
- If playing on an already built map you will have to place the new industries.
- 2-4-2 coal burning tank engine
- Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1887
- Has 4,311 Pounds of tractive effort
- Top speed 30mph
- Built by Central Pacific Railroad in 1875
- Holds 12 water from the water well
- Has 9 color options
- NOTE: water cars do not fill with water towers, please use the water well in order to fill the cars.
- Water for tenders is a fuel type and water from a water well is a cargo type. Please use accordingly
- Built by Virginia & Truckee in 1881
- Holds 36 meat
- Has 6 colors
- Built by Oahu Sugar Co in 1920
- Has 7 colors
- Still holds tools
- Can be found under decorations
- Look for SM_
- Class 70 now goes 23mph
- Both Cooke 2-6-0’s go 25mph
- At 100% reverser you are compromising max speed for max tractive effort
- The closer to center you get with the reverser the faster you will go
- However when going at max speed with the reverser towards the center you will compromise tractive effort.
- In short, full reverser equals max pulling power, anything less than full reverser equals speed.
- Fixed brake bug
- Fixed some translation issues [list]
- Let us know if these issues are resolved as we do not speak every language
- Post on steam or discord with any issues
- You can now see water level in the saddle tank and the tender
- You can now haul raw iron with the stake flats
- Also is now saved after closing the game
- Praise the sun, you no longer go deaf when starting the game
- They now have collisions, inspect your rails before operations
- Tender water level is now shown when looking at the lid of tenders and saddle tanks.
- Wiki displays everything properly in imperial units (unit option setting planned)
- Reduced the player character size [list]
- The smaller player character size allows for the character to not clip through the cabs of the engines
- When running with default button Shift, the character runs faster now
- The new crouch lowers the character enough that it is possible to see out the front windows of the engines
- functional placeholder to settle for a good UI LAYOUT
- NOT FINAL DESIGN!, the design will get an extra update
- You can turn off the driving UI with the default button Y
- Swapping between the two will require a game restart
- This is applied to all industries to help speed up loading process
- Off, no consumption
- Low, x1 usage
- Medium x2 usage (best option)
- Hard, x4 usage (For those who want an extreme setting)
