Hello, Gamers!

Thank you for the support we've received since the launch. Hearing how much you're enjoying the game fills us with pride and satisfaction. We worked hard to bring a new batch of improvements for you over the past week and while doing so we’ve added a few new things to the collection.

The biggest and most of the requested features was a Photo Mode so with a few bits and pieces we managed to add it to the game!

With addition we added some other stuff:

  • A keyboard shortcut has been added to the camera system responsible for switching to the next train
  • An option to disable the grid while placing objects has been added
  • Added 9 new track variants
  • Added settings to adjust the camera movement speed in building mode
  • Diorama tasks based on a new presets with backward compatibility
  • Added a new diorama presets
  • Updated available diorama preset list (restricted to default items)
  • New mails that informs about new exhibitions or completed exhibitions

Along with the new addition you can read the full batch of fixes down below:

  • Fixed problem with missing restrictions in diorama task
  • Redundant items in the inventory have been fixed.
  • Tags are now correctly highlighted when the search matches a visible tag.
  • After hiding the UI in the camera system, the change of the train was blocked when the UI reappeared.
  • Displaying a message about the inability to place the table
  • Hide a storyline button if there is no previous save to load
  • Disabled game mode hint in the pause menu in sandbox mode
  • Fixed removing placeables from sub-grids & removing museum items on task completed
  • Fixed displaying task items on the first enter to the cleaning machine
  • The 'User Made' tag has been removed from the tags in the Storyline game
  • The 'Used' tag has been removed from the tags in the Sandbox game
  • Fixed the issue where used items were not being found using the Search Field
  • Fixed snapping dioramas to grid
  • Fixed problem that dioramas didn't fit into diorama tool placing area
  • Fixed occuring foliage items in sandbox inventory when we filter them by searcher (ex. trees)
  • Optimized terrain resetting under placed model
  • Fixed cloning dioramas after placing in sandbox
  • Fixed some textures not saving on objects that can be painted
  • Fixed loading items in sandbox mode and removed missing item data
  • Fixed creating ghosts of mountain slopes & added missing null checks
  • Fixed placement of decorations on diorama presets
