Train Valley 2 News

Hello! As always, Choo-Choo Weekly and the new exhibits of our collection are with you. This week there were a lot of worthy works, and there were also maps with new game mechanics. So, if you have not looked into the workshop for a long time ‒ it's time to fix it, there is a lot of new stuff!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1818825525 A small map about a city, which inhabitants drive to work on the outskirts every morning. If you do not like long difficult levels, then this one is created for you: a simple relief, a moderate amount of resources and not too long distances. And a bonus: cities can take ready-made resources for each other ;) Real neighbors. Great balanced map, @Herd_Killing! Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1821280079 The second map is from @tehrealyoyo and it does not look like the work of a debutant at all. Here is an industrial coast with two cities producing ore and oil. Connect them with rails on all sides that you can find, the author allows you not to worry about finances. It remains only to correctly draw up a schedule and routes because it is forbidden to stop trains! And a tip: don't let the coal mine stay idle. Great work, @tehrealyoyo, welcome to Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1824494836 Perhaps, the winner will not surprise you, you saw him most recently on the cover of Train Valley Time. We are always happy to welcome @striker700, his work is visible from afar. Enormous bonfires and scorched earth await you in the dragon's lair, and your task is to pack things, prepare food for the trip and build a rocket in order to quickly get away from this damned planet. You will need time to study this level, but then it will probably seem clear and short to you. We advise you not to delay the construction of the store with polymers. An unusual map that contains all the latest game mechanics, including toll station. We are happy to give @striker700 a $10 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

It was an excellent week, friends! Traditionally we are waiting for you on Friday at Let’s play together and remind you that even if your time is far from the top 3, you can still win a pin or card, as well as chat with other players and exchange experiences. Follow the news and banners in the game. See you later!

Hello everyone! Choo-Choo Weekly is here with a fresh overview of the best levels of the past week. In addition, we want to remind you of the special level design contest that is taking place right now. You can find its rules on the forum in a special topic.

We are actively preparing for the release of the DLC and have decided to show you something interesting from the upcoming release. Probably, you have already seen the new game mechanic ‒ toll station. It changes the gameplay significantly. We have noticed that every time we add something new to the level editor, a large number of levels immediately appears with this innovation. So we have decided to make a contest out of this unprompted wave and give prizes for the best works. Even if you are not sure that you can take a prize, do not forget that you can win the pin! We are sure that this contest will be the occasion for someone to open the level editor for the first time and try their hand. Dare, friends, you will definitely succeed!

But let's go back to the levels of the past week. All the laurels today go to a single author.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1814678748 @Zerpa made a good quality map with interesting logistics. High in the mountains, far from civilization, three small cities are developing. Spend your vacation in this cool valley, stroll around the blue lakes, its shape resembling beans (or kidney, if you love anatomy), stand next to the wind generators ‒ this will distract you a little from the 40-degree heat. The level is perfectly balanced, @Zerpa, the $10 Steam gift card is yours!

We are waiting for your work until 16:00 GMT on August 2. We will summarize the results the same day and launch the next Let’s play together. Do not go far, there are a lot of interesting things ahead!
