Train Valley 2 News

We can’t believe it’s been almost a week since we shared more details about the Russian Pass DLC, and it’s time to share more!

Introducing Early Warning icons:

Any ideas on what every icon is for? Share in the comments below :)

Quick facts:

• Found in Flares folder -> look for objects with Icon in the name.
  
• Default display time is 30 seconds, an icon blinks during last 10 seconds before disappearing.
  
• Display time can be changed through the Activator Args field in icon's Object Settings screen.
  
• EW icons can be triggered the same way as any terraforming activable - we have a guide on Editor Scenarios, see section Triggering Activables With Scenarios

We are looking forward to meeting you during this Friday's LPT challenge! Good luck!

Hello friends! Every Friday 17:30 UTC/GMT we hold a “Let’s play together” competition. During next 24 hours everyone is welcome to try and score the best time in a preselected level.

Double entry by @Gelledee with similar objectives - a track tile limit and a certain amount to earn, terraforming events, archipelago style layout, beautiful landscape and almost similar in terms of play time + difficulty; a chill ride to deliver some Christmas supplies — gifts, sweets and toys for everybody :)

Purple. Purple valley. Purple trees, purple grass. Purple potions. Pink potions? A little champagne and some Christmas festive spirit later, a compact 18 minute DNSAT puzzle is ready for LPT and Best From The Workshop list.

Driving heavy trains on top of some really good-looking pastry? Count me in. Don't want to ruin the pretzel by adding too many tunnels into the filling, but look at all those suitable for tunnel construction sites! 20 minutes, hyperloops and a really funny level layout - make sure you have a cup of your favorite drink to go with that :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2702576098

A DNSAT Christmas journey with a surprise ending and expert decorations, New Years Miracles has trouble-free gameplay, plenty of time, surgical terraforming events. Now with faster Glue! :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2704075314

A multistage level with diverse and intricately detailed layout that progresses along with the number of zeroes in your bank account statement and locomotive fleet upgrades. Manage your expenses, discover hidden terraforming shortcuts and wrestle control of local industry's output to deliver on time.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2703538324

A calm valley shaking with explosions, fresh air pierced by construction machinery sounds and train air horns, islands sinking and production outputs constantly increasing - Kasam is a (preferably :) 13 minute compact train puzzle that gradually adds complexity by unlocking new areas and industries. Famously top-tier landscaping, terraforming, 100 track tile limit.

reimagined. Existing track layout giving multiple hints (not all of them are misleading), nice flat terrain with a straightforward supply situation, a track tile limit and at least 8 bridges to build - with all that in mind a 30 minute timer does not seem all that long :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2705314220

DNSAT and DNDATT will make sure every restart of 3 Track Troubles is immediately followed by a new attempt :) Real life landmark filled train valley with a robust railway track system and local industrial buildings boasting extra storage, realistic time objectives and Passenger Flow deliveries - sit back, devise a plan and watch the trains driving local industry into maximum efficiency.

The largest moon of Saturn celebrated its first railway route opening back in November 2019. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1919310447
Today, a full scale colonization effort by a certain aerospace manufacturer/space transportation services company requires our logistical support. Extremely low temperature, methane lakes, cryovolcanoes and a nitrogen atmosphere 4.5 times denser than Earth's will not stop your trusty engines from delivering rocket building supplies. Terraforming, Passenger Flow, very generous times.

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

Hello friends! Due to the fact that many people are now forced to stay at home in quarantine, we decided to add another Let's Play Together competition in the middle of the week. There can be different crazy levels. There will be no prizes. There will be friendly rivalry of tactics, wiggling tracks and particular train skins that have greater length :)

The rules are the same: log in to our Discord server, keep it running, play the pre-selected level, complete it with 5 stars and have fun!

A winter landscape dominated by a mountain with a presents factory on the very top, Christmas Tree Challenge has a two-part lay of the land with several ways to make a connection and at least one tunnel built requirement. Should you start a tunnel right away or will Christmas spirit come a bit later to the other side of the valley?

Three levels that share creator, design - a bit on the minimalist side but always with some flower fields, unrestricted by terrain building space, gameplay features - occasional DNSAT or DNUP and slightly higher chances of restart, and a wonderful way of weaving all that in a magical experience, more so after getting 5 stars.

Make sure the Antarctica Penquins delegation makes it to the North Pole Station on time to give Santa our collective best wishes. Final episode of this season's longest Christmas themed series, The Penquin March presents a trademark experience with numerous routes to be laid down over treacherous terrains spanning multiple climate zones, funding construction of a whole industrial sector worth of production buildings and an Earn At Least X TV2$ objective. The last part of the journey is the hardest - that is a hint from @Strained Rigging :)

Robust replayability potential, simple yet not that easy, with economic planning required, neat compact layout — JLs Small Map marks spiiv's debut as a TV2 level designer. We will watch your career with great interest :)

Tiny Russian shipyard. Fast paced action with no hiding. Now Christmas-themed and adapted for Train Valley 2, Call Of Trains has a 25 track tiles building limit and 11 minutes 20 seconds to extract the payload. Take nothing less than 5 stars, comrades!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2687809106

A trip down Santa's memory lane takes us back to Anchorage, Christmas Eve '64. Earthquakes, blizzards, extreme presents shortages and no time to waste. A very fun map with well-constructed and adorned landscape, terraforming events that open new routes and destroy established ones and captivating backstory.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2690074191

A track system that has another independent track system going straight through it with autotrains that can be accepted or one could just let them pass through. Many incoming resources to manage, expertly designed industrial valley to navigate and trainloads of gratification to be had upon level's successful completion.

Congratulations on your well-deserved award @striker700! A €10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.
