8. If max speed is 62km/h i'll guess the avarage will be around 50km/h (speed increase, decrease and some time spent at station). 24 hours in a day, that would make 1200km/day... not 1100 in 29 days!? Where does the calculation go wrong in this game?). 9. the flying freight is wayy too little to be of importance to catch, though the gold is better once you have longer trains?? 10. there's promises of upgrades coming in march 2018, but that too was the last upgrade ever made?? 11. with more "rebuilds" being done, the gain of steam tokens should increase too. and not only be added to the total amount you got so far with about the same amount every time you rebuild. 12. even though an avarage of 1km between stations doesn't make the watching boring, it's still a damn short track trainschedule (1200 stops per day, if you use my point 8's calculations?).

Okay, my review of this game, and since i really like it nonetheless: 3/5 stars! There's a number of flaws though: 1. prices fluctuate during a travel? if you get cargo at station A, it should be a fixed prize collection at station B!. 2. How come you gather freight while you are riding? the flying freight i can get, but normally i take X cargo in my train and deliver X in the next station! 3. Letters seem better than ore, but after 3 or 4 runs they drop below 1.0gold each. 4. Ever since i got a brick car, i never can get it filled (always around 3/4 full at end of run). 5. There's no telling what a mission yields, so why do we have them? 6. Because of the prizes fluctuating, there should be an option to leave out carts at a station and use them again at another once you bought them (without the need to "rebuild"). 7. Because of the big drop in prices, the prices for new carts are wayyyyyy too high too quickly!

Blaine the train is a pain, and that is the truth. Built by the old people. Saw Fedic station, too. (Maine station, as well... is that just a direct reference to King's home state?) Between that reference and all these stations from dead / dying worlds, the date kinda makes a little more sense...

And torch Light station ……… I wonder , so far , these games all had their world ended , somehow or other . Is this how it was here ?

And also just passed Bloomsbury station from Hellgate London . Really need to ability to add to ones own comments instead of making new ones .

Rebuild train, choose an expensive engine. Next. Back. Oh, sorry, now your tokens spent on the engine are gone. Great :-(

Fun game, although it needs more to do and/or quicker upgrading.
If you are still going to upgrade this game, I suggest replacing the carriage returns with a period and a space. That way a lot more use will be made of the space in the log window.

What you think about putting the "train stats" in the upper middle box on the ride side? There should be enough free space and you could always see your train stats without clicking on the tab on the bottom. You just need to adjust the long textlines like the "sady there is no...".

Nifty game. Could you print the upgraded stats in blue next to the current stats, so we can see at a glance what we will get when we upgrade a component?

is there a benefit to completing missions? I remember having a train plan when I restarted but it changed so I could complete missions but it never seemed to pay off one way or the other

It is a shame that the creator of this game has not updated for almost a month. There was a lot of potential here. I would have preferred the upgrades to have been wheel sizes and arrangements, starting with 0-2-2 (as used in Stephenson's Rocket), with other upgrades being added to affect the various wagons and stations.
As I mentioned a while ago, I have way too much to do in RL now. So there is just no time left for this project here. I have a lot of work to do during spring/summer.

It was a good game. But now it appears it's dead. The coffee and burger cars no longer sell to customers. There's nothing to do beyond buy cars, upgrade, rebuild, repeat. Over and over again. Too bad. A really good game with potential. So sad to see it die.

I don't like the fact that at very high power values, you're unable to ever reach top speed, due to abysmal acceleration returns on power values.

I dunno if this has been brought up yet but I believe there is a mistake with the name of the passenger wagon 3rd class. In game it reads "nger Wagon 3rd ClassClass"
