0.4.3 Patch notes
0.4.3 fixes a few bugs. Most notably the bug that caused trains to sometimes stop too early at a platform, and erroneously throwing a warning about the platform being too short. We’ve had this bug so long now I’ll almost miss it. However it is now confined to the archives of Iron Roads’ history, as are:
Various formatting problems with town badges that are part of cargo chains
Finished resources that incorrectly counted to the waiting times at a town
The exploit of repeatedly building and selling stations that could lead to infinite funds
The crash that was occasionally caused by the title screen music starting
The formatting of waiting passenger counts where it would sometimes erroneously show 99+ in the detailed display
Quite a few other crashes…
Other changes we've made:
Added a count of waiting passengers to the destinations table on the town screen
Starting Forgotten Valley scenario no longer starts the tutorial
Your progress through the contracts is shown on the mini display
