Train Valley 2 News

Hello friends! Due to the fact that many people are now forced to be at home in quarantine, we decided to add another Let's Play Together competition in the middle of the week. This is an experiment. There can be different crazy levels. There will be no prizes. Perhaps this will last only for the period of forced isolation, but if everyone likes this extra competition format we will make it permanent.

The rules are the same: log in to our Discord server, keep it running, play a competitive level, complete it with 5 stars and have fun!
Visit our Discord server (#lets-play-together channel) to learn more.

This week's level is

Good luck everyone!

Giant snowflakes are an immediate threat to this snow valley, and hyperloop connections are our only chance. 35 Passenger Flow trains aside this is a battle against time, funds shortage and impulse to run a locomotive through a snowman.

Highly detailed layout, many places to visit, even more delivery quests to complete and few restraints or secondary objectives that can slow us down - this level duo is perfect for getting your Christmas a bit more train-y and puzzl-y :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2669868481

A simple level in winter-y colours, Blue has track tile limit, a tricky bridge placement problem, compact layout but only 20 minutes of having a blast overcoming all that.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2670634512

Fastest locomotives, carte blanche to build all the tunnels and bridges, 27 minutes to explore and at least 40 different quests to complete! Sure, Christmas isn't coming tomorrow, but we might as well begin preparations :)

Expanding a newly established city is a slow and difficult task, especially with the barbarians lurking too close, but thanks to TV2 Logistics we start with steam engines — before discovering animal husbandry :) Some planning and earning after we fund several construction projects, continue expanding our research tree and ultimately enter a golden age, with 5 stars and many seconds left on the timer :)

At last, we get to drive on the same tracks famous crimson red GWR 5900 steam locomotive does when carrying students to a certain school of witchcraft and wizardry. We even get to build some more of these tracks (but not too many) and make some gold while we're at it. Yule ball is nigh and requires chocolate, bats and Christmas trees as well as an array of magical potions. Underwater facilities will arise from the bottom of the Lake, cauldrons will breathe purple clouds again, great feasts with endless tables and ballroom dancing with the Tournament champions will take place and Christmas will come.

@Gelledee is first week of December 2021 champion! A €10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Don't forget to tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Steam trains driving around a busy city with advanced full-cycle automotive factories and strangely coloured bodies of water. DNRT. There is no terraforming.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2664321537

Summer, Christmas, snow shortage, New Zealand holiday experience. Supply the beachside towns with everything they need to celebrate - including locally sourced pine trees. DNDATT, watch out for that chocolate autotrain and local fauna.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2662086327

Easy, but no that easy, It's All Greek To Me is about time management, careful planning since we cannot destroy anything, and timely execution. 24 Passenger Flow trains, 24 letters scattered across the peach coloured plains and only 6 minutes on the timer.

A triple submission, heavily Christmas themed too. Packed with terraforming, Passenger Flow trains, intricately constructed terrains covered in snow and delivery quests — everything that portrays holiday travel (and present acquiring) madness we know and love.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2663721921

New Year is coming up faster than it seems, and here is a terraforming-powered train valley dedicated to holiday-season-is-around-the-corner time flow perception imitating all the preparations and festive tasks we usually do — in a hurry, simultaneously, forgetting something only to discover later and fix in the last moment, all in good fun and Christmas spirit :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2662564277
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2663214638

A two-part continuation of the Christmas series, a short rollercoaster hand/eye coordination challenge level with no apparent goals yet achievable 5 stars transforms into one more look into the everyday business of producing and distributing Christmas gifts (and spirit) at the Pole. We know the layout already and new objectives make the experience as spicy as a cup of Glühwein and just as enjoyable.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2667254722

Gift Wrapping is the penultimate gift related activity on the enjoyment scale, right after gift unwrapping :) Start by making books, explore the hyperloop options, admire the Toll Station placement, memorize all the different gift recipes and have this snowy gift wrapping facility running in under 17 minutes.


And we have a winner! @LittleBear takes our Weekly Design Contest' first place! A €10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Simply great use of the train size progression built into a nice compact valley adorned with terraforming and DNSAT.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2658120043

Christmas May Not Come is the first of two festivities themed levels, old TV2 style valley and a tale of Santa's workshop inner workings, from the Lists and magical sleighs to an army of elf workers and vast gigafactories hidden under endless snow.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2656787314

Help building a new city transport system by supplying tech, workers and chocolate to the construction sites on the hill. Flow the Passenger trains through the hyperloop network and keep up with DNRT, conveniently placed toll station and terraforming surprises.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2656417290
Christmas is coming according to this train valley, and it is going to be snowy. Build around decrepit railway network remains - demolishing crew is on vacation, overcome cunning terrain and explore abandoned mines for additional resources. LPT-tested.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2655630141

A 14 minutes DNRT escape mission from a Lonely plateau cut off from the rest of the valley by a grand canyon. There is one way out — a puzzle — dangerous, terraforming, prohibiting reversing of trains and very enjoyable to solve.

Part 3 of the Spider Valley series is here! Humans ans spiders working together to better the whole valley and potentially turn it into a new Silicone one by producing complex technologies. Familiar layout with different challenges, spiders, 18 minutes and expensive tunnels.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2654976842

In the middle of the desert lay the production lines of Big Oil Lake. Water and fuel shortage, terraforming events, alternating routes and strict construction regulations are there to help us start a space rocket factory. Make sure not to run out of fuel as you need it for energy and the production of fuel itself.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2656766648

We are colonizing space with trusty old diesel locomotives! Hyperlooping around at least 4 different planets (not to scale) we establish farms, research facilities and production lines to supply our homeworld, on time. Occasional space tourist flights and avoiding crushing trains in the dark endless void of cosmos for 26 minutes straight is no small feat, but we wouldn't settle for anything less now would we :)

And we have a winner! @BenGotham takes our Weekly Design Contest' first place! A €10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.
