Core Update


New pieces

  • Gentle slopes - Making an Up/Down piece with Alt mode enabled now makes a slope which goes up by 1 but is 2 pieces long, so less steep 
  • Sharp turns - Move the cursor like you're making a turn but go even further to make a sharp piece which turns back on itself
  • Clockwise and Anti-Clockwise Corkscrews
  • Y Junction - Turn into a turn piece to make a junction with turns going both ways
  • Triangle Junction - Run a straight piece through a Y Junction
  • Double Junctions - Turn into an existing Single Junction to make one with turns on both sides
  • Super Crossing - Run into a Crossing to upgrade it with turns at all sides
  • Joining Junctions - The joining piece for connecting parallel tracks now has versions with 2, 3 or 4 endings so the train won't fall off the track if every side isn't connected
  • Smooth slopes - Up/Down pieces which are next to others will automatically flatten themselves for a smoother ride when going through many of them

Variants (Roads and rivers)

  • Variants now have appropriate Up/Down pieces
  • Junctions default to Triangle Junctions so you can now turn in either direction if you're driving the train on the road/river
  • The train now runs at the correct height instead of slightly floating above any variants it is on
  • The model itself can now be highlighted instead you needing to find the (invisible) track on top of it
  • Improved passenger placement

Train redirector

The old system of clicking on track pieces to choose a direction for the train wasn't any good on the new junctions with multiple sets of choices, so now you can control the train using Train Redirectors. Place them near pieces and they'll snap to endings with turning options. Click on the redirector to cycle through the available turns.

'Recently Used' row

The toy box now has a dynamic row with your 20 most recently used decorations. It'll only appear after you've used at least 5 unique decorations.

General Improvements

  • Trains can now turn while reversing
  • The Colour Picker now has a Hex value box
  • Colours stored in the Colour Picker are now saved/loaded with track files
  • Improved performance when there are many trains
  • Improved CPU performance when there are many track pieces
  • General train movement along tracks should be smoother
  • Trains and carriages no longer block selection/building
  • Added helpful signs for when a Station in Passenger mode gets moved/hidden
  • Tweaked the Pub to make it line up with other buildings better

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the train sometimes subtly bouncing from side to side when on a straight piece of track
  • Fixed pieces which were overwritten by a forced Joining piece sometimes losing the correct rotation when that action was Undone
  • Fixed some issues with Tunnels
  • Fixed 2 Straight pieces going in opposite directions not offering a Crossing when approached
  • Fixed the Speed Check showing the wrong side of the sign
  • Fixed some typos and mistranslations

How do I get the update? When I double click on the file links they don't do anything. When I hover over the window icon it says "download for windows" but when I click it doesn't do anything?
