Extra Let's Play Together - Farming and Mining

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!
Visit our Discord server (#lets-play-together channel) to learn more.

This week's level is

Good luck everyone!

Weekly Winner - June 14th


This week's latest designs assessed and presented to you by Choo-Choo Weekly — trains, puzzles, train puzzles, puzzles with trains in them every week!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2513502612

Looks like a laboratory setup with productions acting as scientific equipments and white ground in black water looking like a lab table. Don your lab coat and crack this formula before DNSAT* cuts your funding :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2511144490

An excellent fast paced puzzle of "level divided in two with a single route to connect the parts" kind but there are 4 parts and many routes, some more accessible than others. Building bridges is a requirement so you should use that as a hint :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2515126079

@Gatebase strikes again with their newest submission - expertly crafted with tools that are not even included in the Editor it feels and plays just like a campaign level. Fair time limits, acceptable challenges, classic Train Valley 2 looks and a big twist — Hydroponics is a must-try.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2512672021

Designed just like vanilla Train Valley 2 levels, Hollowbold uses simple obstacles and objectives to make your solution more complex every minute. Plenty of room for your tracks, but what is the most efficient layout? Passenger Flow trains give you steady income, but should you buy more engines first or proceed with the Power Station construction? A pleasant and seemingly hasteless gameplay.

@Sprieltje is our newest winner! A €10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Don't forget to tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Weekly Winner - June 7th


All aboard! Choo-Choo Weekly has arrived to the What Levels Do I Try This Week station!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2509515365

An entertaining Passenger Flow level with 50 trains on a somewhat tight schedule with a dual track circular layout limiting your route options. Took just seven retries to complete :D

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2504426531

The next installment in the Luna 27xx series takes us back to the Moon just in time to help with the Luna University opening. New shuttle terminal is finished as well as new production buildings, so a new schedule is in order. Automated deliveries will keep you very busy and so will the track tile limit.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2508628996

A new series created as an homage to the original Train Valley game with a focus on track laying and switching to combat the onslaught of automatic trains. New spawners gradually come online and the order is marked by the letters on the roof — a gentle introduction to the

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2508634127

Essentially a new game mode, in Construction you are to work with automatic trains and focus on construction and switching. You have some room for error - the blue roofed buildings will accept autotrains but will set you back on the road to meeting your delivery quotas. Plan ahead for uneven and different timings and watch out for really, really expensive windmills. A different design indeed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2503898176

Snow, cold, research facilities and schedule full of deliveries awaits us. Terrain that does a very good job of making us think it is trivial to build on, production chain with numerous components and DNDATT** objective will accompany us on our journey to five stars and possibly a couple of two :( four stars too :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2509492000

Purple Mountains hide many things — hyperloop routes, possible tunnel and/or bridge constructions sites, a track on the right to connect the power station, a DNSAT* objective, amusement rides and of course some peculiarly coloured rock formations.

@LittleBear is our newest winner! A €10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.
