Hello everyone! Despite the fact that in March there was no special design contest, we found a lot of interesting levels in the workshop. Many people are now at home, some of them create levels, others are happy to play them. We are pleased to present to you the best level of March. It was made by the debutant @Felonious Yeti.

This is a very harmonious level. The resources are very well balanced, and the visual design is also well thought out. For 19 minutes you immerse yourself in the colorful country of SIMO and move along narrow paths. Not a bad option for a virtual way out of the house, right? We are glad to give a €30 Steam gift card to @Felonious Yeti. We want to pay your attention to other levels from @Felonious Yeti and say that we definitely want new works!

March was amazing and we believe that our April special level design contest will be very handy for all of us. As you know, recently we have released another update, it contains an excellent new feature ‒ Embargo Station. This is a new level editor's object, it allows you to set a ban on the transportation of a certain type of resource. We suggest you use this new object in your new maps. Just try it! As usual, we will be summing up the results in early May and choosing the three winners. We are waiting for your works, friends!

Hello friends! Hope you and your family are safe. We have prepared something really interesting for you with this update. Ladies and gentlemen, please meet Embargo Station. This new level editor object has very simple mechanics. It allows all the goods to come through except one (you can set it in level editor settings). This is a flexible and powerful mechanics offering a lot of interesting situations. We want to thank @Yokuyin from our community for offering this great idea! And we are looking forward to seeing what you guys can create with the new Embargo Station!

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!
You can get more details on our Discord server (#lets-play-together channel).
