Unrailed 2: Back on Track News

Hi everyone!
We’re preparing the Christmas version! As we have some new features, we’d like to collect some feedback first before completely releasing it. Thus, we put it on the new experimental branch on Steam. You can select the branch under the game properties in Steam and under the Betas tab.
We’ll continue working on it, but let us know already what you think and especially if you found some issues..

The Unrailed community continually inspires us and something we would like to start doing every month or so is feature some of your creations in our Community Spotlight posts. This could be anything from fan art, funny clips, maps you’ve created in Terrain Conductor mode (which in case you didn’t know is a level editor where you can create your own Unrailed maps!), screenshots from your playthroughs, or maybe you’ve seen a really cool train IRL and would like to share a photo.

If you’d like to submit your creations for your chance to be featured, you can either post them in our Discord in the channel called ‘community -creations', you can also share screenshots, artwork and video in our Steam forum - please make sure they adhere to our Community Rules.

For our first Community Spotlight we’re going to focus on the Terrain Conductor!

You’ve been super creative crafting customs maps in the Level Editor and it was extremely tough to choose. We eventually narrowed it down to 3 maps we’d like to feature this month:

[h3]Throw and Shoot[/h3]

This map makes you search for the station and includes hidden upgrades, wagon extensions and cartridges everywhere!

[h3]Divided Straight 2 Player[/h3]

This map forces you on two separate paths - you’ll have to pass tools and resources between them to get to the station.

[h3]Bombing Pioneer[/h3]

Here the path to the station is simple - but can you blow your way to the needed tracks in time?

[h2]Tips For Creating Your Custom Level[/h2]

• Let your creativity guide you. Whether you enjoy creating a serene landscape full of resources or maps full of hazards for players to overcome, the Level Editor is your oyster (without the seafood smell).
  
• Beginners might find it easier to lay the ground across the whole blueprint and chip away once you get into the full swing of your level design.

• Add hazards such as NPCs, laser beams, barriers, or a boss to make things interesting!
  
• Speed things up-or slow them down with a variety of tracks to choose from.
  
• Set camera tracking points to control what the camera shows when the map is being played. A camera point will save the current camera position and zoom when placing it. When playing, the game will interpolate between the closest camera tracking points to the engine
  

[h2]How do I share my map with the rest of the community?[/h2]
Once you’ve crafted your level you can use the top-right drop-down menu to either play your level or publish it to the rest of the community and see it.


Since Unrailed 2’s launch, we’ve been hard at work bug fixing and going through all your feedback, and we’d like to thank everyone for helping us make Unrailed 2 even better. There’s still new content and fixes in the works, so make sure you check back for future updates.

Have fun on the tracks! Choo choo 🚂

Hi everyone!

Next to some general improvements, there are some milk and versus related fixes this time.
Since most glitches should be fixed now, we cleared the highscores and added categories for the different engines. Check it out here: https://u2.unrailed-online.com/#/highscore


Changelog v-333-93c3f0b:
- Crash fix: Crash when the train crashes with a frog attached
- Bug fix: A tool could go completely missing if no valid respawn point was to be found
- Bug fix: Frog sometimes invisible
- Bug fix: Frog plunger was missing when attached to milk wagon
- Bug fix: Multiple memory leak fixes (might improve the DX12 stability and might fix the missing destruction particles on longer runs)
- Bug fix: Canyon boss doesn’t keep any path open when visiting it multiple times
- Bug fix: Slot stations could show no speed reward when the train was already at base speed. Now slot stations are only sampled once the train is fast enough
- Improvements: Lava blobs and crabs now follows the milk wagon
- Bug fix: When joining within a shop of a game that has been saved in this shop, cartridges could get lost when present reset
- Balance: Active bombs will be removed when entering a shop in versus
- Balance: Magnet and collector can’t access the opposing team’s map anymore
- Balance: The 2nd visit of a biome has a lower start speed than before but the boss appears +3 stations later for each visit
- Improvement: Best of 3 (5) will finish earlier if the other team can’t win anymore
