Train Valley 2 News

Level of the Month - February and March 2023

Level of the Month February and March 2023 edition is here - two tales of fast deliveries, completed objectives and closely watched timers, both getting our highest commendations. Take your pick:

Our resident Spider Chocolatier presents us another peak into the intricacies of human-arachnid relations, specifically the Arachnoenergetic industry. An ancient 50000 Spiderwatts-class ritual stopped working and now energy-less valley seeks to restore an old Powerplant. A selection of differently themed Editor assets blending into a complete story also turns out to be a puzzle with unique flow to its gameplay, possessing both multitasking exercises, tactical financial decisions to make and good bit of junction (re)building too.
19:00, no train crashes, 20000 TV2$ demolition budget.

Excellent design, high replayability and fun gameplay. Congratulations @eijolend - your €30 Steam gift card should've found its way to you not too long ago!

The story and the valley's name feel oddly familiar, yet the inner workings of the local supply chain do not. Powerful multitasking capabilities, an interesting Engineer distribution minigame, a piece of terrain floating in the black wastness of space design - Attack Of The Clones is an excellent example of "fun landscaping meets a fresh strategy" kind of valley. Adding no loco upgrades and limited funds into the mix, we get a refreshing experience of exploring new tricks of our favorite train driving game. Hope you like sand :)
15:00, build at least 2 bridges and 1 tunnel.

Congratulations @hika - we've made sure your €30 award is already with you :)

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 :)

See you in a bit, friends!

Extra Let's Play Together - Nr 85


Hello friends! Due to the fact that many people had to stay at home in isolation due to COVID-19, we decided to add another Let's Play Together competition in the middle of the week, just for fun-with different crazy levels and (alas!) no prizes. We think it is clear by now this extra LPT is a permanent addition too :)

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.

The Pandeia Project Level Design Contest Results Are In!



Hello! The fifth, final round of instantaneously assessed and unanimously selected level(s) exploring new additions from our latest DLC Workshop creator(s) have presented for the past 4 days is here:

[h2]1st place: :tv2conductor: Plastickbag - :tvloco: Lazy Cheesecake[/h2]
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3028160639

Congratulations Plastickbag, your €10 Steam gift card is on its way to you. And now on to the final contest results:

1st place: :tv2conductor: Plastickbag - :tvloco: Lazy Cheesecake

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3028160639
19 minutes, don't buy more than 2 engines and produce at least 350 units.

There's nothing like praising a level twice in the same post - especially since it brings so much to one's play session. All the eligibility conditions aside, Lazy Cheesecake teaches us two different cheesecake recipes, helps keeping our multitasking/time management/track planning in top shape and offers a whole new type of a level layout - one that implements Accelerators as time constraining devices while utilizing Linked Gates as bullet points in your shopping list - and that leads us to excellent replayability backed up by possible supply chain shortcuts and our PPLDC's first place!

2nd place: :tv2conductor: hika - :tvloco: Castle in the Sky

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3023977402
18 minutes, SOFLTO, build at least 1 bridge.

A train puzzle to prove that timely deliveries and expertly operated Passenger Flow trains are equally important wherever your transportation company finds itself next - like a floating island for example :)
Keeping up with unexplained recent increase in popularity of Cheese and Robots and Protective Suits, your mission is to meet local demand with appropriate, efficient and precise levels of supply - just watch that autotrain and don't look over the edge too much :)

3rd place: :tv2conductor: BenGotham - :tvloco: The Teddy Bears' Picnic

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3013426142
SOFLTO, no wrong deliveries, 16 minutes.

Let's help teddies make some tasty treats, sew some new friends and have a wonderful picnic together! The operation's overseer prefers trainspotting fully loaded trains while the harbormaster is inspecting every freight and does not allow more that one train through the gates, so let's indulge them too. Complete the railway junction around the middle city and see the preparations completed just in time to start the festivities. Don't let the bees sting your Navigators :)

Our heartiest congratulations go to our winners! Playing your creations fueled by recently added mechanics and industries is as fun as it is insightful - and Train Valley 2 is steaming towards more changes and new content thanks to your feedback and unyielding interest in making sure every delivery is headed to where it is needed most. Our thank you goes to every level uploader, puzzle solver and train driver that keep Train Valley 2 Workshop going!

See you in a bit, friends!
