| Game update | Performance Patch v0.8.2 To reduce lag, the Engineer train carriage now has a maximum duration of 30 seconds per turret. · The pop-up damage numbers were causing excess lag spikes and have been throttled to not display too many per frame. · The following train carriages had a bug that caused them to do WAY more damage than they should have, and was also a major source of performance issues (especially Hyper Beam): Hype… | 18415122 | |
| Game update | Minor Patch v0.8.1 Replaced some placeholder art for Relics. · Fixed several bugs with the All-In dialog. NOTE: All-In is currently cheaper than normal until next patch when I can redo the chest price curve. NOTE: The "Sweetened Deal" relic wasn't interacting correctly with All-In. As a temporary fix, it will improve the odds of finding the carriage by a little bit each chest. The Minimum Chest Price does not acc… | 18410327 | |

| Game update | Patch v0.7.5 - Performance Improvements Hello gamers, this afternoon I got drunk off of some Kikkoman Plum Wine and decided to optimize the game's performance, especially All In. All In is now very fast compared to before. Also the game should in general perform a little better, but let me know if it doesn't. Thanks It used to take me 6 minutes to open 2 million chests, now it takes about 4.5 minutes to open 13.5 million. Going from… | 18273279 | |
| Game update | v0.7.4 - All-In Performance Improvements Significantly improved performance in the All-In dialog. It still takes a while as you get to level 9+, but it should be faster in general. · Fixed a display issue with the Patience relic tooltip. Please let me know if you see any issues with All-In or anything else. This should hopefully be the last minor patch until v0.8 comes on May 9th (American time). Enjoy! - Likadev | 18210549 | |
| Game update | Minor patch 0.7.3 Fixed a crash that could occur when attempting to load save files that were about a month old (from the first patch of All Aboard!). · When displaying train carriage cards in the "Buy Carriages" window, it will no longer display the "Upgrade" label when the carriage is >= level 5. This is to prevent the number growing so big that it becomes bigger than the card itself. · Fixed some display issu… | 18182355 | |
| Game update | Minor patch 0.7.2 v0.7 Patch Notes v0.7.1 Patch Notes · Reduced enemy health scaling (especially on hard mode). Many bosses were pretty much impossible by the 3 hour mark on Hard mode. I want it to be a challenge but not impossible, at least not at the 3 hour mark. · Added 10 levels to the health upgrade. The total amount of bonus health it gives at level 30 is 1,000, but the cost scales up sharply. Bosses like… | 18171581 | |
| Game update | Minor patch 0.7.1 Have you seen the v0.7 Patch Notes yet? A tiny patch with some minor fixes and balance changes. · Significantly reduced bonus EXP gained from leveling carriages up. · Werebear's max movement speed is now capped at 135. This will make him slightly weaker before the 2 hour mark, but he was a little too challenging in the late-late game because of how fast he moved. He'll still be a major problem… | 18166893 | |
