Train Valley 2 News

Another week - another round of Workshop levels to take a look at.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2880937589

Santa's Freight Company Inc. has contracted you to maintain delivery schedules in a well-hidden industrial complex somewhere at the North Pole. We'll be using Hyperloops, cold resistant locomotives and virtually unlimited amounts of TV2$ - at least 3 000 000. Of course we have just around 0 TV2$ at the beginning, but nothing some fishing cannot fix :) 41:00, build 2 tunnels, succeed.

A fun Halloween train valley with many routes to plan for and shortcuts to implement as the game progresses and you receive more income, recipes that will send your trains running in circles before that happens, 12:00 timer and no crashes and/or wrong deliveries.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2881538934

A fine scenario with previously undiscovered recipes, top of the line engines, expensive industries and at least 6 bridge sites waiting for our building crews, a landscape that has no place for convenient shortcuts or accidentally spending 75 000 TV2$ on a tunnel because you were too deep in thought and pressed the wrong button :) 14:00, no train crashing allowed.

To make a train valley inside which violet grass will be credible is not enough, but producing a two-level train puzzle with Toll Stations, bodies of orange water obstructing your track building, adding DNRT and DNDATT objectives and combining it all in a specific manner indeed requires labour and thought, a special skill. 13:00, a train puzzle done right.

A collaboration with @Blathers and a 16:00 multifacet puzzle that encourages gradual expansion, carefully spending your TV2$ and making sure every train drives to the right station and does not crash on the way there.

Don't go touching anything in the neatly kept garden, keep your track tile count below 170 and find the passage from zone 7 to area 2 ASAP. 14:00, almost unlimited Chocolate and relatively tricky junctions. Happy Birthday!

With easy railroad planning out of the picture and no train crashes or wrong deliveries allowed we'll have to keep in mind that not every shortcut is financially viable, depending on your previous decisions and the way you're dealing with Furniture autotrains. A colourful train valley and a great track laying puzzle. I personally failed it twice :)

Well done @Blathers, your €10 Steam gift card is on its way! Please stand by for a message from our award distribution department.

It's time to assess some Workshop entries.

At 23:00 minutes, with delivery quests increasing quantity demands, lack of spare engines and bridge shortcuts that are going to put a dent in your wallet you could try completing De plateaux en plateaux only using bridges to connect neighbouring plateaus-no laying tracks down the canyons! DNDATT and DNSAT icons in the top right corner shouldn't discourage you in any way :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2878444587

Generous timers, no train crashes + DNSAT, LPT'ed-Konservy represents a subgenre of Workshop train valleys that has a special place in your levels-to-return-to queue I'm sure-compact, easy to navigate terrain that immediately suggests possible delivery routes combined with vanilla 2018 early Workshop days aesthetics and hassle-free gratifying gameplay with one delivery location and just 4 quests.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2876924464 and https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2876925013

I've received reports that one could start with the Easy version-figuring that one out makes Hard...well, less hard :) Otherwise just send the first Rocket into the city on Mars and things will pick up the pace from there. Deliver at least 100 trains, earn 5 000 000 TV2$ or more, watch the 35:00 timer and get your bearings around prebuilt tracks before the Martians get to your candy supply.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2878918453

Still kind of tricky even with increased 3-stars timer, Halloween Helpers will keep your mouse on the edge of its pad :) DNDATT, hiring both Spiders and Bats to keep the alchemical potioncrafting industrial complex running, interconnecting existing rails in the West and earning enough to pay the Engineers-all the while not buying more than 2 engines. Phew, that one is a very good train puzzle exercise.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2876399370

20:00, 145 tile limit, demolition jobs budget of 3 100 TV2$-one of the faster, less forgiving valleys that base its gameplay on funds management, gradually growing railway network that connects a new commodity or resource every step of the way, planning ahead of many kinds and distracting the player with picturesque locations.

Great job @Gelledee, your €10 Steam gift card is on its way! Please stand by for a message from our award distribution department.
