[h3]Hello Conductors! 🚂[/h3]

We're back with a BUNCH of bugfixes!

We know some of you have experienced some progress blocking bugs, and we're terribly sorry you've been stuck. We wanted to make sure the fixes helps both new and old players as well as don't trigger any new bugs, which is why it's taken some extra time to get this patch out. We're so thankful for all your reports and for your patience, you guys are amazing.

All known game progression blockers should be fixed here, and we've also implemented fixes for most of the saves that have run into them already. We still have a few left we've already started working on, so more fixes are coming soon!

If you're still having issues or if you run into a new bug, check out some helpful tips in this discussion thread or join our Discord for quick bug reporting and help from our devs ⭐

Have an amazing time in Locomoto! 🌸 The Green Tile Devs

[h3]Hello Conductors![/h3]

Hope you're all doing well.

We, The Green Tile devs, are heading off for a long weekend rest, but just before that we have some fixes to make things better overall, specifically existing quest bugs.

We are looking into an overhaul of some of the quest handling to make sure that NPCs can't get stuck doing the wrong things, but that won't be in until the next patch.

If you get stuck due to quest issues over the weekend, our Discord server and a our pinned post in our Steam Discussions has some helpful solutions to this problem.

Have a great time in Locomoto and enjoy your Easter if you celebrate it!
