Train Valley 2 News

This is Choo-Choo Weekly — micromanaging track layouts, suffering complete defeat because of a stray bush that costs 230000 ducats to remove, talking drifting capabilities of the Bulldog series and waiting patiently for the next chapter of Color Factory series.

Farming And Mining by @Unclekrusty is one of those trendy entree levels - simple, fast to burn through and enjoyable. It really isn't though — you have a lot of freedom to build the tracks where you please yet that doesn't help all that much :) A pastoral landscape with a majestic railroad riddle in hiding.

But this one is - Copper Speed Run by @Tanyafxg is all about speed. And resource management. And time management too. Light, pleasant and challenging level to start your Train Valley weekend.

@TNTFTB annihilates the competition with his first upload — Venturi is an "awkward logistical horror where everything is produced twice as slowly" but do I really have to tell you about the satisfaction of seeing the puzzle turning into a working logistics system?Simplistic looks are a ruse.

Eurovision song contest level by @Gelledee takes you all around Europe to bring peoples together — enjoy some good music, hang out with fellow trains-and-also-catchy-tunes-heads and have a jolly good time. Masterful Passenger Flow mechanics implementation, as always very colourful and pleasant surroundings and almost ornate track layout closer to the level's completion. Australia will join in later.

@LittleBear's level that has several options achieved through nonstandard design, doesn't drown you in micromanagement, gives you a puzzle buried under even more puzzles, looks great and entertains your problem-solving center. Dump Truck Protest manages to support the design with the backstory too - just look at the level's name :) Give it a try and you will come back to improve your times if not just to look at all them neat yellow lorries.

@LittleBear, outstanding work! A €10 Steam gift card is heading your way right now.

J. R. R. Tolkien mentioned a green sun in one of his monographies. But what about green water? @thomas must know something — his latest creation has quite a lot! Divided in two halves by a mountain range, it has many tracks to build and several complex production chains to attend to, at least two ways to go about crossing that mountainous obstacle and a Do Not Destroy Any Track Tiles objective.

@ishKiia submitted another entry the trains in her Color Factory saga — and an unusual one to say the least. The engineer at fault was never can still found and your new job is to save all the color samples to start a new factory somewhere safer. The get through layout is very unorthodox with layers of tracks spanning whole level, there's a restriction on track tile removal and a 10 minutes timer the black ink to keep things interesting :)

A super felicitous entry by @Polari, this level presents us with classic divided in two geography with a single access point in the middle where you are to avoid any train crashed for 24 minutes :) The execution is on point as both cunning production pyramid and mild lack of space lead to especially neat track layout and possible untimely restart.

@UnicastProduction surprises us with a level based on a local memetics phenomenon — if there is a level for Train Valley 2, there is a solution to it by @stev1eb that is going to be both vastly different and many times more efficient than yours. In a land where airplanes are used as currency and a staple resource your task is to fly low under local Customs station radars and deliver components for assembling even more red airplanes to the secret Grand Pink Canyon Airplane Factory. There is a nice pace to this level with funds being very tight and production chains being not so obvious.

A winning entry by @Inunderstandable me / @Itsumi-chan, Alpine Bridge lets us finish developing logistics network around a giant bridge somewhere in the Alps by building even more bridges - at least eight :) You have an ample amount of time to explore all the routes and route possibilities - this one is truly non-linear, almost sandbox experience with word INTRICATE not leaving your mind once for the whole duration. A pleasurable adventure in an exemplary train valley filled with treacherous hills, sneaky hyperloops. primeval forests and an occasional trainspotter bear :)

@Inunderstandable me, outstanding work! A €10 Steam gift card is heading your way right now.
