Constracktion News

The following changes are now live:

• Fixed map height reading to be more consistent when laying track
  
• Fixed potential null reference crash in mouse scroll handling
  
• Fixed signal routing problem causing switches to be set incorrectly
  
• Fixed Map 3 max industry levels and added track pieces on home platform
  
• Fixed radius calculation for min radius achievement to also take actual radius into account
  
• Fixed signal adding to not work when map doesn't have signals
  
• Fixed getting stuck inside a wall on foot
  
• Removed grade matching. Changes to the grade setting will no longer be overridden when running on existing track
  
• Changed collisions to other objects on foot to be less sticky
  
• Improved German translations (thanks Bravura Lion)
  
• Added teleporting by clicking on the map. You can only teleport to your own tracks (but the map doesn't show them yet)
  

The pre-release update fixes the following issues discovered by streamers:

• Fixed footstep scurrying sound
  
• Fixed track laying train getting stuck inside gate when reversing
  
• Fixed lasers to show connections to other tracks more accurately (they used to show a connection while not really connecting)
  
• Changing direction to forwards will now disable track removal mode automatically (in order to prevent accidental derailment)
  
• Changed settings screen plus and minus to work based on pointer position (instead of LMB for plus, RMB for minus)
  
• Slightly increased track refill and dirt balancing rate in easy mode
  
• Made wye longer in map 2 to allow reversing
  
• Added decorative track pieces on the home platform in maps 1 and 2 to hint that you can refill your track car there for free (instead of having to buy)
  
• Added option to add height markers on foot for planning your route (this feature still needs polishing)
  

The first pre-release patch was updated on the 23rd:

• Fixed menu up/down keys to operate on the correct bottom menu option when pointing a lever with mouse
  
• Fixed map to show the current height consistently when in cab view vs. external view
  
• Fixed "shadow render pass" crash when changing graphics quality setting
  
• Changed track layer grade system to use the grade value directly instead of following terrain as this is how most people expect it to work
  
• Renamed "normal" difficulty to "hard"
  
• Added derailment notification to power notch option since it's not always obvious when you've derailed
  

Constracktion is now fully translated into Brazilian Portuguese, thanks to Thiago Mania's localization service!
