Changes, as filed:
- The railway now speaks 20 languages: English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), German, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish and Ukrainian. It follows your Steam language; Options > Game changes it.
- The Railway Gazette is filed in each reader's own language, co-op tables included.
- The difficulties are now Normal, Hard and Harder. Normal is the railway as designed.
- The pause menu is shorter. Every world saves into a slot of its own, named after its company, and every exit saves. Load another world straight from the menu.
- The facility panel steps through every facility of the same kind with < and >. Every smokehouse, in turn.
- Industry is only founded where a through station can serve it. No more wharves on spits no railway can reach.
- The badlands and the mountains have their own look: mesas, scree, pines and snow.
- Grain is now wheat, in old saves too.
- A town that reaches Capital earns a commendation of its own: Capital Gains.
- The Gazette keeps its last 50 dispatches, so saves are smaller.
- The menu backdrop and the splash screen wear the new look.
The bank trusts these prove satisfactory.
