ATOM n TRAINS Update! Cool new Features! V 0.7

New features for the trains include arrival announcements, time plans, train passengers getting in and out of the wagons. And lastly a revamped timeline system for train as well which allowed me to create new train stations, spread across the map of Pine Island!



The Steam Locomotive 1870s

1950s Passenger Train

And the well known 2014 Hover Train!

The PLC received a big overhaul in looks and function.
The current date is now displayed on the bottom, making it easier to distinguish the current time with the required quest time!
You can now write custom notes in your journal and even write little code pieces.
This new feature is especially interesting and important for the future.

With the implantation of the Mini Script interpreter, this is now possible!
The idea is that in future updates you could make or buy cartridges with specific codes, to hack or bypass systems (If you wanted to go down that route) Or play games on it, written by other players!

This could also open the doors for possible custom code mods for AI or other interesting things of the like in future updates, so stay tuned in that regard!
Here is some reference material if you want to try it out on the PLC! A hello world example code should appear in the first save file you load after the update.
Try this little code snip out as a test:
print "hello there"
breakline
wait 2
draw 1,10,100
print "look I drew something :D"
wait 3
clear
print "ok you can go now..."

Radiation Poisoning is now a real threat! So I suggest you get hold of a radiation suit, when handling uranium rods!

Should you get a lethal doze, use the "Rads Gone" pack to heal you up!

Now most liquids look like liquids! They wobble when you move them around.


I've implemented a random environment generation system. It is my hope that this way I'll be able to fill blank terrain with more interesting details and variation in every year. That means that in the future, nature would also look different. Trees could grow and forests would move.
This would be a huge plus on the evolution of the terrain over time!

Next update will likely receive its first translations, namely German and Polish! Custom Language packs will probably also be the first Workshop Items, that can easily be made then uploaded by you the players!



Now I hope you like the new additions to No Time! Change log can be viewed in full below as usual.
Enjoy the update and God bless!
