New Track Piece, Workers and a Merry Go Round!

Hello everybody!

Today's Tracks update includes a lot of bug fixes and the addition of a couple of new objects and new passenger types. Over the coming months we are working on several new additions and features for Tracks: The Train Set Game. Once we have more details, we'll make sure to share them with you in a future announcement. But for now, let's go through today's additions.


Stop on the turntable and turn left or right to spin the train in place. It can also act as a normal cross junction which automatically switches when the train approaches. This has been added as an experimental object meaning that it may need more testing - if you notice this track piece behaving oddly, do let us know!


The Merry go round will rotate, play music and also light up when placed in a night time environment.


A few new passenger types have made their way into the game. Right now they behave just like the standard passengers without their own special station but we hope to continue adding more types throughout development. Let us know what kind of passengers you'd like to see in the future.





The full change log for today's update is below:





ːromopolis_houseː Construction passengers
ːromopolis_houseː Rail Worker passengers
ːromopolis_houseː Farmer passengers
ːromopolis_houseː Skier passengers
ːHealUpː Passengers are now saved to your save-games if they haven't walked to a Platform

ːromopolis_houseː Turntable
Easily one of the most requested features finally comes! Turn left or right while sitting on the turntable to spin in place. It'll automatically turn to catch you if it isn't aligned with where you're coming from and it is big enough to turn with one carriage attached.

A spinning, bouncing, music playing, lit up carousel.
