A gloomy place among ruins, a cemetery, and a dump of rusty trains. You have slow trains, you need wood and sand. A simple good map in case you don't have too much free time. Featured!

Incredible work by @Itsumi-chan. The whole world on one map! Stories about Atlantis have long amazed the minds of many people and now it's your turn. Finding all the paths will take you a little less time than finding Atlantis itself. Important: ensure communication between colored stations first, because their schedule is very tight. And it is they who will give you money for all the necessary bridges and tunnels. A very large scale level for a long evening. Thank you @Itsumi-chan!

And here you will find an industrial desert. Try not to touch these waste piles, they must be collected by another recycling company. You need to make some wood from these dry trunks and also recycle some of the plastic to get some crates. Very interesting routing and great gameplay. @embRellish, today a €10 Steam gift card is yours!

It was a good week and, as always, we are waiting for you on our traditional extra Let’s play together challenge on Tuesday. See you, friends!

Hello friends! Every Friday 17:30 GMT starts “Let’s play together” challenge. We pick up a level and during 24 hours everyone is trying to get the best time on it. You just need to register once on our Discord server and keep Discord running while playing the level of the week, and your results will be automatically published in Discord #lets-play-together channel. You need to get 5 stars for beating the level.

Glittering prizes:

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

The rules are the same: log in to our Discord server, keep it running, play a competitive level and complete it with 5 stars. Have fun!

Hello! Choo-Choo Weekly has arrived. Last week was a little lazy: the authors gave their best in July and now our workshop is quiet. We are also resting after such a hot contest. Today we will tell you about three good levels that appeared in the last 7 days.

A big complex map for those who are tired of small and simple ones. There are tracks for colored trains along the perimeter, and you will have to start there to earn a starting budget. Then you take over resources. There are markets, many bridges and tunnels. This is a good level for a leisurely evening. Thanks for your work, @angryxpeh!

A level with many islands and a circular route. Workers spawn rather slowly, so you will have time to distribute their flows. The cute and enjoyable level - it's @Spons83's debut. Great start! You will find it in the Featured.

Nice level with interesting gameplay. Three cities, few resources, different routes. You can distribute workers to factories in different ways, you can build isolated branches of paths - in general, this level gives you a lot of freedom of action. Great job @LittleBear! We are happy to give you a €10 Steam gift card.

We hope you enjoyed these slow relaxing maps. We are waiting for you on our regular extra LPT on Tuesday. See you, friends!

Hello friends! July special design contest has ended and it’s time to name the winners. We want to remind you of the main conditions of this contest: levels should be short (up to 10 minutes) and they should be minimalistic. This is a broad definition and everyone can understand it differently. We expected to see levels with minimalistic art designs, or levels with simple gameplay, or a small variety of resources. Or all of these things at the same time. Anyway, over the past month, we have discovered many forms of minimalism from our authors and we are happy to see so many beautiful works in the workshop. Now we have to do the hardest thing - choose the best maps!

Small map with many power plants. The focus of the game is shifted from resource extraction to energy extraction (which also requires resources, however). Nice simple art design and unusual gameplay. @Phil.方阵, we're happy to give you a €10 Steam gift card for your debut work! Congratulations!

Colorblock-styled map by our LPT Champion @stev1eb. Excellent gameplay, interesting boost at the beginning of the game. There are opportunities to optimize the speed of walkthrough of the level. It looks like @stev1eb hasn't received any prizes in a while - hopefully a €20 Steam gift card will fix that.

The undisputed winner of the past month. This level has it all: simple and elegant art, storyline, few resources, and many ways to optimize. In addition, this map has excellent timing. This level is like a well-cooked dish with the perfect balance of salt, sugar and acid. Congratulations, @YaroslavTV, today you are the chef! A €30 Steam gift card is yours!

It was a great month and a great contest! We are sure that such unusual conditions made authors look at the creation of levels differently. Our traditional design contest continues, we are waiting for your new levels, friends. See you!
