New Features

• Added Rail Crossover 45°
  
• Added Telegraph Office

[h2]Rail Crossover 45°[/h2]

Previously, you were able to use only one type of rail crossovers that had an angle of exactly 90°, slightly restricting your options. With today's update, we're adding a second one that has an angle of 45°! Try them out for yourself and let us know what you think! :)



[h2]Telegraph Office[/h2]

This historic telegraph office can be placed anywhere on the map and serves as a fast-travel point, enabling you to swiftly move from one part of the map to the other (they even make a nice beeping sound). When opening the minimap you can select a placed telegraph office (marked by the letter 'T') and fast-travel to its location.

Make sure to keep a little bit of space between them, otherwise the selection on the map might turn out a little bit difficult. Scroll a little bit further below to see the marker on the map screenshot!



[h2]Player Icons and Player Names on the Minimap[/h2]

Now, the minimap shows all players currently connected to your server - including their name, their location and their rotation. You won't miss each other ever again :')



[h2]...and more to come![/h2]

We don't want to spoil too much... but what could these possibly be? Feel free to speculate in the comments!



Try out the new update for yourself and do not hesitate flooding us with feedback (it would happen anyway, we're pretty sure)!

Enjoy the rest of the week!
