Railroad Corporation 2 News

[h3]Hello everyone,[/h3]

It’s been a while since we dropped our last Early Access update back in December! We’ve been working hard over the past few months and we’re super excited about the slew of features we’re sharing with you today.

We know that some of you have probably already explored every inch of our pre-made maps. Well, we have good news: you’ll now be able to create your very own, user-generated landscapes!

[h4]Generated Scenarios: Craft Your Own Single- and Multiplayer Sessions[/h4]

Start your railroad career on your own, uniquely customized maps! You can define your biome & terrain type, choose the size of your map & toggle the availability of certain raw materials. You can further customize your experience by setting your starting capital and handpicking the amount of commodity objectives in any given game.


Generated scenarios are also available in Multiplayer, meaning that you can create unique challenges for you and your friends. Any scenario you generate comes with a unique Random seed, that can be freely saved & shared!

[h4]Balancing & other fixes[/h4]

As with any update, the updated version comes with a range of fixes. We made some improvements to the UI and fixed a variety of bugs that some of you reported! We’ve also improved the balancing on some of the trains and added level requirements in the lobbying department. We’ve also introduced a feature where warehouses can now be used by multiple players in Multiplayer co-op games!

If you want to read a detailed breakdown of our new features, improvements, and fixes, you can consult the full patch notes here.

As always, a heartfelt thank you goes out to the community for your ongoing support and insightful feedback. Your enthusiasm for the game inspires us to evolve with every new update! We can’t wait to hear what you think of the new scenario generator! As for us, we are starting to work on the next patch. :)

We’re thrilled to share the latest update for the game! This time, we’re introducing the Autumn Biome (A.K.A. the "green biome") with three brand-new maps.



Autumn Journey
A single-player endless mode with no objectives, designed for creative exploration and experimentation. This map is larger than the ‘Frozen Lakes’ map you’ve gotten to know so well by now.

Nature of Competition
A competitive 2-4 player versus map with specific objectives focused on managing and delivering certain commodities.

Mutual Fund
A cooperative multiplayer map that illustrates a collaborative plan to fund and develop a railroad network in a resource-rich area, addressing regulatory requirements and shared risks.

We do advise players to play the Frozen Lakes or Northern Subjugation maps first as those include vital tutorial elements explaining core mechanics.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why an Autumn Biome in Winter?

We’ve received numerous requests for an alternative to the winter biome since our Early Access release. To accommodate this, we prioritized the Autumn Biome earlier in our roadmap.
And yes, we know it’s winter, so releasing an autumn-themed update might seem...unexpected. Think of it as a cozy warm-up to the snowier adventures ahead!

The Autumn Biome sets the stage for new main campaign chapters that will be created using this new biome.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key Features in the Update

• Larger Sandbox Map: Autumn Journey offers more space to explore than Frozen Lakes. However, we still encourage new players to start with Frozen Lakes or Northern Subjugation, since they offer a clear introduction to the mechanics of Railroad Corporation 2
  
• New Versus Map Objectives: Multiplayer objectives now emphasize specific commodities, adding a fresh layer of strategic challenge.
  
• New Cooperative Map: Large cooperative map with a variety of challenges. Great for co-op players who already have some experience in Railroad Corporation 2.
