Weekly Winner - June 28th



Most recent Train Valley 2 Workshop submissions in this issue of Choo-Choo Weekly — levels for players, by players.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2527061536

A simply superb level to get us into train puzzle resolving business in no time employs a mixture of limit on the number of track tiles to build, Passenger Flow mechanics and ingenuity. You could try squeezing all the secondary routes in to bypass the passenger trains, but will you have the funds and time to control two separate track systems?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2524234334

A centerpiece in this one is a track you seemingly cannot connect to anywhere else :) There is our friend DNDATT** and his partner DNRT*** that will keep us company while navigating confined spaces of a baobab valley with its multiple branch supply chain and 15:30 time limit.

A Passenger Flow action all the way in Australia, complete with Uluru / Ayers Rock and approximately one friendly engine-sized spider that keeps your gray matter railroad puzzles zone racing at all times. DNSAT*, no demolishing allowed and more stations to look forward too - good thing I have a spare mouse in my drawer :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2524167501

Complex terrain, track tile limit, DNRT*** and plenty of time to account for everything - it is recommended to watch your trains' size. A walk in the Lake District was never this challenging before — an interesting design with a simple idea at its center.

Ah, where to begin. We have a giant FROG — if you ask me it has no trouble crossing any road at all — that DEMANDS 5 cows for light brunch and dynamite for dessert. It also has certain interest in potions and canned goods, but we also have a small town on the other side of a very intricate railroad track system — with three autotrains constantly using said system — that needs some cows too as well as a lot of rethinking on their import/export tariffs. Check your time, control the autotrains, keep the DNRT*** in mind, succeed. A true rollercoaster of a level.

@LittleBear is our newest winner! 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!

Extra Let's Play Together - A Certain Scientific Railway

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

Level of the Month - May 2021



Logistics tycoons of Train Valley 2 magnitude are used to partying with royalty. Some last minute cargo deliveries and construction projects to make it on time ( 14 minutes + DNUP* ) — and maybe secure that exclusive contract with the royal family too.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2475631565

A wonderful train puzzle crafted into a peaceful green river valley, we have a three zone plus limited connection options layout with restricted space for track building (there is room for different approaches and you can have all the bridges you want) a DNDATT** objective, three production chains and engine upgrades — yet the gameplay is brilliantly paced with prices of building new production facilities calculated and delivery goals adjusted, taking us back to simpler times of first several hundred levels published in our Workshop — a balanced, finely tuned experience for everyone.

A couple of complex junctions and some cows surely cannot stop you in your tracks :) Don't mind that entry fee for your final deliveries to the castle and enjoy your time at Party For A Princess.

Congratulations @Sprieltje, your €30 Steam gift card is on its way!

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you, reader, to bring out your level editor and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement.

**Do Not Destroy Any Track Tiles
