Train Valley 2 News

Weekly Winner - June 20th



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2821764049

A river dividing the valley in two-but this time around it is a proper bridge junction instead of separate bridge connections-with several decisions to make early that decide the lategame outcome. A very well thought out 7:30 DNSAT level, LPT'ed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2821402900

One bridge, a tunnel, 20:00 and 280 grain hoppers to deliver. Dismantle armor and rockets, construct trucks and vans, use resulting resources to power the valley, ship even more grain into the city, restore damaged railway network parts, set up Worker deliveries to local farms and get this train valley's industry back on its feet.

A quickest supply run this week, Something From Nothing is a (surely :) less than 5 minutes DNDATT train valley with fast locomotives, a Disassembling Factory capable of turning yellow Buses into just as yellow Cars with an assortment of unused parts for an output as a part of a cycle of dismantling, refurbishing and reconstructing motor vehicles to better suit the needs of a nearby city and topography that further reinforces the circular movement of your trains.

A sequel to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2820328539

Life on other planets is still strange :) Resource mining and processing changed both landscape and layout so much so modifying existing railway network will not be enough. Build anew, do not destroy anything of value, supply Diamonds and Artefacts to the central biodome cluster, start investigating and investing into planetside food production and look out for your expansion's terraforming consequences. 12:00, DNSAT.

A colourful layout with relaxed Passenger Flow schedule and a 45:00 timer, Rapid River Valley is a design that keeps puzzle difficulty at a steady level. Add the objective to destroy at least 500 000 TV2$ worth of anything and advanced bridgecraft masterfully woven into local terrain in the mix and you will get a train valley that fits any time of day and goes well with any beverage :) DNRT.

Detailed decoration combining seemingly everything Editor has, a brood of huts on chicken kegs, some kind of a financial institution run by penguins that sends TV2$ 6 000 to our account like clockwork, a spider autotrain, DNRT, a Passenger Flow network with multiple stations, many delivery quest locations... There is a lot going on in Penguin's Park and we have just 12 minutes :)

The Laboratory that is big enough to need a city built around it is where our next adventure will be taking place. Resource acquisition installations and processing/supply depots to build a complicated railway junction around, a copper autotrain and a Coal mine awaiting railway connection just across the river (try delivering Bricks first), DNDATT and DNUE objectives and indeed not evil timers :) A fun train valley with intermediate goals to work out and resulting replayability.

Allow us to extend our collective congratulations on winning the Level Of The Week award to @singularskittle! A €10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Extra Let's Play Together - Fake Jewelry


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 - May 2022



A river of lava crosses the valley from north to south dividing it into very much disconnected parts. While our safety people are busy listing all the reasons as to why building anything over deep bodies of molten rock might be dangerous, we could start by reinvigorating logistic network and connecting stone pillars with local industries conveniently occupying them. With 9 or more bridges, yes.

Next stop:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2804367193

Won't be easy (or cheap)-both topography and overgrowth will hamper our progress, not to mention magic spider chocolatiers being very picky about having rail tracks next to their shop and a 22:00 timer constantly ticking while we are struggling to fund another expensive engineering wonder :) A fun and replayable puzzle with attractive layout and excellent gameplay.

Congratulations @Plastickbag, your €30 Steam gift card is on its way!

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you to bring out your level editor skills and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement.

Weekly Winner - June 13th

A DNSAT level about having fun and succeeding; an unusual combination I'm sure, and yet 8:00 timer, accessible terrain and magical backstory make for a fine exercise. Now where does one find toads in TV2?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2817954855

A prequel to

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2809060550

as well as an answer to the "What would a @Bengotham DNUP level look like?" :)

A strange potato-shaped object is still smoking from reentry and Russets are already contracting us to establish the first set of railway tracks and help them build a research facility. Slower locomotives, some industries to erect, a suspicious purple tentacle sticking out of the water, a forgiving 18:00 timer. I am sure the artifact will be grateful for our assistance too :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2818575798
Our demolition crews on a leave this time-no track tiles can be removed-so we will blow things up using Steel Slabs (not sure about the specifics here, but it is most definitely doable :) Some advanced resource and component shuffling between several Disassembling Factories later we are to have at least 1 000 000 TV2$ to our name and less than 7:00 on the timer.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2818786518
Tater Town is about to become world's rocket science capital and we're here to facilitate the transition. Reconnect the islands, build around the purple guest from the deep, mind the Pass Limiter charging times and get potatoes and diamonds coming! 5 or more bridges, 170 or more track tiles, 13 minutes and a stealthy quest marker behind your locomotives list.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2820305840
A train valley boasting an underwater section with separate access and Passenger Flow deliveries connecting two parts from the very start; a quite challenging 22 minutes long DNRT ride that has a little bit of, well, everything-from Disassembling Factories to Pass Limiters, Buggies, Toll Stations and flying submarines :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2820328539
Alien, very colourful and ours for the taking, Alien Sea is a train valley set on a very alien yet strangely welcoming planet. Full with resources to process and introduce into our production chains, pink passages and purple hills to support our railway tracks and several small settlements waiting to buy our entire stock. Our demolition crew couldn't make it, 11:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2819654055
Nuclear kaiju monster trucks from the deep in a terrorizing seaside city scenario with high speed train deliveries and terraforming events? Destroy at least 1 100 000 TV2$ worth of stuff and blow up at least 5 trains objectives are there too :) I've already said too much, but know that King Of The Monster Trucks is a wonderful puzzle built on top of a very unusual premise using many new objects and industries, with different choices to make and enjoyment to be had. 16:30, very replayable.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2819743994
Welcome To The Machine with undetermined programming and output that apparently can be upgraded to run more efficiently. Navigate numerous moving parts and exercise caution with engine purchases and upgrades-the machine's mysterious creators/owners probably won't overlook even minor damage. 12:00, Passenger Flow mechanics and a super expensive octopus shortcut.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2818337726
An industrial complex that runs on Steel Slabs and some Power yet is able to produce almost every kind of product and resource there is... Be it alchemy, magic or alien tech, our job is rather simple-build, connect, schedule, earn 1 200 000 TV2$ in under 18:00 and do not ask questions :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2817635572
Terraforming events at 17:30 and 18:00, at least 3 tunnels to build, hidden hyperloop connections, Passenger Flow mechanics, a Pass Limiter station, 25 minutes on the timer and highly detailed, top notch surroundings to navigate, explore and overcome are waiting for us in New Babylon. An amalgamation of biomes, aesthetics, industry types and mechanics crafted into a wonderful train puzzle.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2819697388
Last stop of our today's wild ride is back on Earth by the looks of it-we're helping with supplying local farmers' market and a couple businesses with fresh produce. Our only real obstacle seems to be that Pass Limiter with 3 charges and long recharge times, but we'll find out in a minute that actually finding an optimal approach and designing your track system (along with that 65 000 TV2$ demolition job budget) is paramount. An expertly built level and a very well composed puzzle.

Allow us to extend our collective congratulations on winning the Level Of The Week award to @Gatebase! A €10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.
