Train Yard Builder · published · build 24291732
It has been quite a while since our last major transmission, but we are absolutely thrilled to be back with one of our biggest updates yet! We know the break was long, but our team has been working behind the scenes for months to completely revolutionize how you build, drive, and interact with your miniature worlds. To celebrate this massive milestone, we are also bringing you a huge -50% discount!
Let’s dive straight into what’s new!
You asked for more interaction with your trains, and we are delivering! You no longer have to enter the diorama settings just to dictate how a train should move.
Real-Time Driving: You can now take direct control of your trains in real-time using your arrow keys or WASD!
First-Person View: We’ve added a brand-new 1st-person camera. Hop directly into the driver's seat and experience your intricately designed dioramas from a whole new, immersive perspective.
We are introducing a completely brand-new, hands-on mechanic: Building Assembly!
30+ New Structures: We've added over 30 new buildings for you to put together piece by piece.
How it works: Simply purchase a new structure from its dedicated tab in the shop -> assemble it from scratch -> paint it exactly how you want -> and finally, place your custom masterpiece onto your diorama!
Managing your railway network has never been more intuitive and deep. We’ve completely overhauled the route programming system:
Real-Time Route Map: When you set up a train's route on the diorama, the track is now brightly highlighted. It updates in real-time as you decide where the train should turn, giving you perfect visual feedback.
Turn-by-Turn Programming: You now have the power to program the complete route of every single train, dictating exactly which turns it should take.
Custom Stops & Braking Force: You can now manually program exactly where you want your train to stop. Better yet, you can fine-tune the exact braking force values for those stops!
Reverse Mode: Reached the end of the line? No problem. We've added a "reverse" button so your train can easily travel backward along its route.
Community Fixes: Squashed several older bugs and glitches reported by you, our amazing players, ensuring a much smoother and more stable building experience.
The Steam Train Fest has officially kicked off, celebrating all things locomotive! If you haven't started your miniature railway adventure yet, or have a fellow train enthusiast friend who'd love to jump in, this is the absolute perfect time.
To celebrate both the festival and our massive content drop, Train Yard Builder is currently 50% OFF. There's no better way to honor the Train Fest than by grabbing the game at a deep discount and testing out all these fresh new features!
Join our official Discord server to discuss the new update, share screenshots of your stunning dioramas, and connect with the community during the Steam Train Fest. We love seeing what you create!
You can also find updates there regarding our other titles, including House Flipper Remastered Collection, Farmbotic and Honeycomb: The World Beyond.
Happy building!
