Added changes to the pressure system to allow proper use of the locomotive with the small compressor turned off after it was previously started.

Endless Transport Tasks and Minimap Added:

• Upon reaching a train station, you will receive a message from the dispatcher about available transport tasks.
  
• You can check the available transport tasks in your area by making radio calls.
  
• At most stations, there are at least 2 different tasks available, involving transport in both directions.
  
• Tasks are randomly generated and endless.
  
• Initially, to ensure financial liquidity, tasks involve shorter routes. After passing through 19 stations, tasks involving longer routes are generated.
  
• You are not obliged to complete transport tasks.
  
• We have removed time limits for completing transport tasks.
  
• If you disconnect wagons in the wrong place, they will disappear and the task will be canceled. (Remember to park wagons in designated zones).

• The destination station and task value are displayed on the waypoint.
  
• If you start the game from an old save with an active transport task, you must complete that task to receive new tasks under the new rules.
  
• If a new game is started with a tutorial, new tasks will appear only after its completion.
  
• Currently, only one transport task can be taken at a time.
  
• We added a minimap that allows you to check how long a route you need to travel to complete a specific task.
  
• The minimap is automatically available upon entering the locomotive, and to scroll it, you can enter the inventory.
