Train Valley 2 News

Level of the Month - April and May 2023

April and May of 2023 have gone by - but there's two tales of large scale freights deliveries, industrial grade train puzzles and multilevel bridge-it-till-you're-broke Passenger Flow valleys to remember them by:

The locals are really fond of their mines, so much so they've settled right next to a freshly collapsed one - not ceasing their business for a second. Take special precautions while constructing your bridges - expensive as they are, and PF trains having little patience + One Way Stations restricting all movement on the lower level, and massive Pumpkin industrial complex requiring immediate attention above, there's always a restart waiting close by :)
12:30, DNDATT, DNRT.

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

A miniature shunting yard with shiny blue steam engines - welcome to Switchback Summit where getting from point A to point B usually requires rerouting via F :) Pay attention to every switch, remember the 15 000 TV2$ fee on that Toll Station and work along/around local terrain peculiarities, guide your trains over the narrow mountain tracks and complete your delivery quests on time.
Yes, it is possible to reverse trains without failing the Do Not Reverse Trains condition :) 14:00, DNRT, no engine upgrades allowed.

A refreshing design hidden beneath a classic layout. Congratulations @Yokuyin - 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 - Frostpunk Crater


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!

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 :)
