Station to Station News

Hello conductors,

Get ready to customize your Creative Mode levels even further, by bringing your own 3D models into Station to Station - and then sharing those super custom levels with other conductors.



[h3]Our brand-new Model Import feature is out now![/h3]
Use the tools we’ve added to bring regular 3D models or voxel models into the game. Standard GLB format files are the ones to use.



Like before, you’ll be able to share your designs with the wider community and download and play other people’s creations as well. But now also with your own props!

Grab your virtual tools and try out the new Model Import feature now! Choo Choo!

[h2]Full patch notes[/h2]
[h3]New features[/h3]

• You can now add your own 3D models to Station to Station! So you can now make your own props and put them in a Creative Mode level. When you upload a level that features custom 3D models, those models are automatically uploaded as part of the level so others can enjoy them as well.

[h2]Changes[/h2]

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed that you could open a broken state of a level when you open a save of a creative level that has been deleted.
  
• Fixed various models not turning red on invalid locations in creative mode
  
• Fixed that clicking the “open level page in browser” would sometimes give the browser a wrong URL.
  
• Fixed that the “sort by” dropdown in the mod browser would add additional dropdown entries on reopening the mod browser.
  
• Fixed that the density setting didn’t do enough for “dense forest” and “impenetrable rocks”.
  
• Fixed that “no building connection” pins on stations would reappear when you removed them, by disabling and enabling the HUD or taking a Steam screenshot.
  
• Fixed that the controller becomes unresponsive during the credits.
  
• Fixed that the credits wouldn’t scroll all the way up before it disappears.
  
• Fixed that changing the graphics options using a controller wouldn’t save the new options.
  
• Fixed that animals would sometimes be invisible while placing them in creative mode.
  
• Fixed various texts and naming improvements.
  
• Fixed various localization issues in which the text wouldn’t fit in their box.
