Experience enhanced gameplay with Update 13 – more control, precision, and freedom in your rail network management!

Update 13: The Highlights

We’ve made some significant changes to the Construction UX. Right-clicking now acts as an “undo” button, taking you back a step. If you’re holding an item, you either build it or drop it. If you’re not holding an item, you can modify everything. We’ve also added visual guidance, with different grid colors to indicate your current state. You can configure this behaviour in the options:

We’ve introduced a new focus view for station configuration. This will allow you to manage your stations with greater precision.

We’ve also added a variety of new keybinds. The best part is that you can now rebind more freely, and we’ve made it so that duplicates are allowed.

But that’s not all. Here’s the full list of what’s new, updated, and fixed in Update 13:
