Train Valley 2 News

Level of the Month March 2022 edition is here-a tale about designing a track layout to evade numerous obstacles with a 1000 TV2$ demolition job budget in mind, building said tracks unto a city districted around terrain level and industry buildings proximity, amassing funds to construct and later supply the airplane factory crowning a vast supply chain and not wasting a single second of the 10:00 timer.

Welcome to District Deviation:

A 6-engine locomotive fleet at our disposal (we're not allowed to crash any :), prebuilt railway line with a hyperloop shortcut that may hint at additional routing possibilities, multibranched yet controllable industries set, classic color scheme and room for approximately 2 (two) track tile mistakes :)

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

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.

Hello friends! Due to the fact that many people are now forced to be at home in quarantine, we decided to add another Let's Play Together competition in the middle of the week. This is an experiment. There can be different crazy levels. There will be no prizes. Perhaps this will last only for the period of forced isolation, but if everyone likes this extra competition format we will make it permanent.

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!

A slower puzzle with historical premise-we have 30:00 to sit back and watch our lumber and caoutchouc operation succeed. No tunnels and a lot of scenic train routing.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2795830612

Bridge your way to the Yellow Potion brewery by building on suspiciously evenly spaced, almost man-made stone pillars. Or go for a longer, intricate route if you have time. 12:00, DNDATT, multilevel two part engineering marvel of a railway junction to construct and test :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2793803880

Watch the last water drain from the lake floor and start building. Local authorities set up this terraforming job to clear more place for future tourist attractions as well as a new energy source... DNSAT, build at least 4 tunnels, 12:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2795604917

Stitch the valley together with a network of many tunnels and at least 7 bridges, watch out for incoming planes and notice several clues left around by our...benefactors :) 13:00 minutes, hyperloop connections, autotrains.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2794824277

Easter is coming! Help the Egg Colouring Site to complete all the pending orders in time. Supply the dyes, mix a fresh batch of glue and make sure there is no chocolate egg shortage for the foreseeable future :) DNRT, very limited demolition job budget, 7:30.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2795384738

A spooky hunt for twisty paths to resource sites amid red mountains, forgotten dragon lairs and dark misty forests as well as a search for a meaning of letters B and G used in local Passenger Flow schedule a lot. 23:00, 15000 TV2$ demolition jobs budget, infuriatingly fun, thoroughly LPT'ed and enjoyed :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2795748560

Complete the city's transition into oil industry-both production and refining-and dominate transportation market of Sand Quarry's sandy valleys. Battle both DNSAT and DNDATT, make it less than 12:00 and keep an eye on the power plant :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2794356909

Pastel Colours, explosions, hyperloops, fast locomotives, terraforming events, furniture in high demand and your train driving skills are the last bastion between local businesses and financial ruin. 17 minutes, no train crashing, both aesthetic and train puzzle solving pleasure.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2795395156

Taking in local scenery eats through that 24:30 time limit, fast. Intricate track layout backed by multistorey valley design, quite some industries to erect, supply, mantain, locomotive fleet and bank account to micromanage and at least 3 bridges to build. Coming back up from the abyss is as difficult as not trying to shave off a minute or two after a MadeInAbyss restart.

Congratulations on your well-deserved award @Dracken! A €10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

A dam, a river, a lake, an area to be transformed with new construction sites and railway networks. DNSAT and DNDATT are there to help us out, and so is the 14:20 timer. A little tinkering, a bit of terraforming-when mixed, these components get us another enjoyable level. LPT'ed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2792386638

Approximately 8 minutes of TV2 time later you will have enjoyed a chill ride through the DNSAT and limited demolition jobs funds objectives, a great colourful layout with room for optimization, fine-tuned production times and improved time limits (8:00 for 5 stars), guaranteed :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2792278872

A lot to do and no terraforming. DNDATT, 16:00 timer, collection of Customs/Embargo/Toll/One Way stations and a defensive moat with one drawbridge completing a layout that forces a very particular set of route instructions on your locomotive crews. Rumours of a contraband operation active in the area are travelling faster than our finest diesel engine too...

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790663146

Performance-enhancing substances, fastest locomotives this side of your screen and a DNDATT objective-can your 15:00 journey to astronomical income get any better? :) It just did with pink landscapes, hyperloop connections, Passenger Flow mechanics-now featured in BFTW* menu.

A continuation of https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2670281648

The quest for world domination continues! With Glass and Steel making technologies we are on our way to establish a second colony. We have-although a bit early according to the technology tree-commandeered two steam locomotives, and DNSAT + no demolition jobs + 9:00 timer are no obstacles on the path to a new Golden Age :) No terraforming and a very familiar colour scheme.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2791688527

UFOs found in the mountains! And unlike a certain alien visitor they know their way home! The government set up a secure perimeter, checkpoints and a research center to gain complete control over alien artifacts, personnel and knowledge. We are contracted to supply the rocket factory and maintain secrecy. A DNRT, 16:00, ELPT'ed, carefully crafted adventure of routing your trains over canyon vistas through complex bridge and tunnel network.

Congratulations on your well-deserved award @Miaxlo! A €10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.
