hahaha, played for some hours and missed the updates - just refreshed page and now im back where i started in the morning
I just hope that does not happen again. That bloody game gives me nightmares.
Things have been way easier with the unity web player. This Web-GL is like some kind of "magic box" You work your game in and hope there comes a game out again and not some broken piece of software or a Rabbit.
It feels like I throw a pizza in Blender, make it flat and bake it again. Bonn appetite...

yes i try to reload i was using firefox i change for google and it was working i try firefox again and still stuck on welcome page
It will be fine soon. I do some final test before I publish it.
Edit, something went wrong during the web-gl transalation. I have to re do the build..
Edit 2: Should be fine now. Sorry for the waiting.

perhaps add a manual save function to avoid the save issue? Also, you could make the coffee car increase the number of passengers that get on the train at the stations, a multiplier like the fuel car does for the engine.

Note to me: Recruit a test crew before releasing a new prototype....
In other words. Sorry for the troubles with the save game and stuff. Thrust me it hits me harder than all of you.
urgh.... That´s new. Did you try to reload?
Edit: I found a pssible source of that strange behavior.
It will take 10-30 minutes until the new build is baked and up.
Edit 2. It was something entirely different. But it´s compiling again so it will be ready soon.
Except when my laptop finds that he deserves a break again.

I played for hours last night, had like 8 wagons on my train, train and fuel car was fully upgraded. Went to bed. got on this morning and I was sent back to the first hour of the game, 1 ore wagon. Dont know about anyone else, but this is a game breaking issue. I know you said you "fixed it" but that is #1 in making a game like this, make sure it saves.
Make sure it saves. That´s very easy to say. It saves, for 99% of the users. I have here only two systems to test on I cna only make sure it runs on those since I don+t have access to other peoples computers. And in order to figure out why it does not save for some, I need information
Why it did not so far, I don´t know. However, since 0.70 there are now 2 save systems running.
Would you mind to check if it saves now? Browser and OS info are also always welcome.

finally the game didnt save at all, i was with 12 steam point with a new locomotive and now im back to yesterday same time where i tought i lost 10-15 mins :(
Save problems should be solved now(v0.70). If it happens again send me a pm, please.
Thoug I don´t really understand why it did roll back to yesterday.

Good idea you could make this into an amazing game adding the ability to choose when you sell your cargo at certain stations and have certain stations offer better prices then others. And as other have said add things like weather. breakdowns. Bandits all kinds of things that could be added.
Things like that are planned for later. That needs a lot of additional mechanics.
The stations you visit are not really in a place in the game. They spawn and get a random Name.
The prices are handled globally.
There is a lot of content planned. Sadly I have to get rid of bugs and save problems first.

i love how this mountain keep pace with the train the entire journey, this must be on hell of a train cuz its actually moving reality around it rather then it move.

Freight should not be collected while travelling. It should be picked up at stations just like passengers but need different station upgrades to increase cargo volume.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
maybe a preview of what you're gonna get when upgrading wagons? upgraded my passenger car twice because I expected the money per passenger would go up. and yeah, I'm having save issues too, on chrome
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Hills.. slows down trains - Train robbers.. employ guards - Random bonus buildings.. if you have the right freight(etc) driving past random building doubles payout at next station (so a miner hut doubles ore payout ) - Buy lighting for passengers ... more passengers will travel at night - lots more ideas if these are practical

I'm one who commented "auto save doesn't work. win10 firefox 64bit." Save doesn't work on Edge either. (I don't have chrome.)

Accidentally bought the wrong car. Now I can't get rid of it until after I make enough money to buy two more cars, plus I'm out the steam tokens that I spent.
Well, I f got some good news. You don´t really lose the steam tokens you use for the Locomotive and the Tender. Only Cap expansion really consumes them.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
maybe types of buildings that get added to stations that increase likelihood of people getting on, or *slightly* better coal/firewood to give a % increase to how effective the tender/locomotive are or buildings that could increase % of prices or maybe a global price reduction or for specific things? you do seem to have quite the list of planned stuff though, so keep trucking!
May I ask what OS/Browser Combo you use? Also, did you try a different Browser?
There is auto save sadly it seems not to work for some people. If I get more information Id would be way easier to diagnose. Feel free to send me a PM.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
autosave seems way to long im pretty sure i lost about 10-15mins of progression refreshing. make it 1 min please or add a save button.
It should save after every bar fill... It also saves everytime you close a menu. Like the one from the shop wagon upgrades.
Edit. I see there seems something wrong. Loocks like it does not always save after long play sessions. I may have to come up with a different sve system.

This game has great potential. Nice job. How about hills where you slow down but the payout for stations at the top of hills is worth more. Then you could invest in hill climbers or speed demons (for going down hill) just to spice things up? Keep up the good work

Well decent concept slow progression. However 2 major factor detracrt from the game itself. 1: No Offline Gains which i was really hoping for. 2: No saved game feature. Everytime you log out You start all over from scratch.....kinda defeats the point of wanting to progress when you have to keep it on all the time. I share this Computer with a few otrhers and can't leave the game running 24/7

rebuilt this morning and played for about 3 hours. closed the game, came back and all progress was thrown back to before I rebuilt.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I really liked it... until I refreshed. Progress of a day gone. No save... at least when reloading while rebuilding. Yay me.
What version of the game was it? I´d also like to know OS + browser. The game is suposed to save but it seems to fail for some users. How I try to get a workaround that irons out some of the possible reasons for the problem.
You should not loose your save while rebuilding. It saves just before that menu opens. So you would have your old train and all stats as you open the game again.

The incredible slow progress, and lack of offline progression make me wonder how this has a 3.2 rating. It's an interesting concept, but it is WAY too slow to be fun.

On rebuild you are allowed to spend more tokens than you actually own. You will then start with negative gold, but not much.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The one thing I hope for in any idle game is a save function. Sadly, coming back a day later and expecting there to be some progress has put me off.
Ok you are the second one now. It has ofc autosave however it seems like it does not work for everyone. Sadly I do n´t know why. I did putt in an error handler yesterday it should send a message to text box on top of the screen if writing or reading fails. Did anything show up there?
Also please send me a PM with OS and Browser you use. Also please consider trying another browser. That helps me to diagnose the problem.

I love when you see Bricks are selling for 6 gold, so you buy bricks and 30 seconds later, you're at 3 gold. And it never goes back to 6.

Here is a winning formula: The Grinder loco (14xp) + 5xp coal tender, max em out to grind levels alone. Earning gold and slower levelling - same loco combo, one passenger cart and as many coffee carts you can muster before rebuilding. You will make your passenger neurotic, addicted and you'll need to hire a toilet attendant, but it'll be worth it. Coffee adds the least drag and weight. 6 carts and 5000 gold = +11 steam thingies. Rebuild often to build up your steam cap.

I did not know I could upgrade the engine because it said click the wagons to upgrade them and I read that to mean only wagons get upgraded, oops.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
If your train stops moving at all please send me a PM with the following info: Wagons, Locomotive, Tender and the max speed displayed on the top left.
From the train stat panel id like to know the powe, drag and weight.
I´ll make a quick work around right now. Should be up soon
No it´s not. But I heard that before. DO you know what combo of Locomotive/Tender and wagons you have?
Id also like to know what your max speed is and the Drag/weight and power value from the train stats. Would be nice if you could send it as a PM

Maybe some chilling background music so it wasent so "empty" and/or sound effects when the train starts n stops and when you pick up coins or other stuff
Music is something I wanted to have in it at the start, however, that might take time since I have just other priorities right now. Like fixing what´s there and make more content.
I suggest you pick your own track on Youtube for now.
I do have some sound effects around from former games, I guess I could putt them in this week. I avoided it at first because of performance reasons but it seems to run pretty smooth so far so I reconsider that.

So just bought a car and now my train is stuck, guess the load is too heavy and no rebuild button atm, need a way to avoid this from happening please
Ok that seems to be a thing now. I dive into it. please telle my your combo of Wagons/Tender and locommotive as PM. Also I´d like to now what "max speed" it shows.

Game is amazing but sadly so few upgrades for 1st locomotive.If i upgrade 1st locomotive i have feeling i did all and it seems kinda pointless to wait any longer.I wish you continue to add new features.PLs dont leave this game.It has amazing potential.YOu can add new trains maybe.Something like train tycoon.I wish there was no limit on lvls ;.;, or maybe more lvls for things.When you get to lvl 10 game becomes fun and it feels like it ends in same way.XD
Keep good work
There will be more stuff soon. I just want to get rid of bugs first and Improve what´s there so far.
I will continue to add wagons and stuff soon. I plan to add Slots to wagons that can carry additional modifications. That allows to tune single attributes from the wagons. That´s one of the reasons why the level caps are rather low. But as mentioned in another comment, I also plan to add global upgrades some of them allow to raise the level cap for some wagon types.

Since it's too slow at the benigging and can be quite annoying, make a few tries by placing a /2 multiplier to all costs.
Place a clickable button somewere that can be spam-clicked to give some boost to the train, this will add something to do other than waiting.
Rework the yellow bar thing, it is not intuitive. Add the reward when you reach the station and make the freight spawn on the ground where the locomotive can auto-pick up.
Don't make the upgrade window full-screen unless you need to.
It´s really just that slow at the beginning. As soon as you have a few steam tokens things get faster.
There will be more to do later on. Since I plan to implement some wagons that provide mini-games. The yellow bar fills after 100m and triggers several things like filling up freight and selling goods in Shop wagons.
The window needs that size for content that´s not live yet.
