New in this update:

  • Research dialog

    New vehicles can now be actively researched using the research dialog. They will no longer be automatically unlocked based on time.

  • Mars and all other planets are enabled in the game now

    You can now reach Mars (by delivering enough cargo to the space agency facilities) and then send rockets there, or create bus and train lines on this planet. All the other planets are also available now.

  • More vehicle types

    There are now a lot of more types of trains and other vehicles available in the game. See the new research dialog for a list.

  • Advanced resource loading settings

    There is now another load /unload mode per stop, where you can specify which exact resource types to unload and which to load. You can also specify for each resource type if the resource should be loaded full. This makes it possible to create more complex lines with interim storages in between, especially between multiple planets.

  • Towns now rate transportation companies. You cannot destroy town buildings anymore if your rating in the town is very bad.

  • Rockets won't load resources from warehouses to bring them to the same planet they just just delivered them from anymore.

  • Newer and larger rockets are now much faster travelling between planets

  • Line manager dialog now doesn't hide the 'add line' button anymore when there are more than 12 lines.

  • The colonization of mars is now a bit quicker available

  • Changed the sound notifying important changes to the simulation system

  • Fixed a bug causing some road depots not to work when they where rotated in certain directions

  • Fixed z-Order problems in truck and bus stops

  • Fixed a bug causing waiting facility for passengers not to accept passengers sometimes

I hope you like the Beta 2.

Thanks for all the feedback so far, further feedback is welcome as always!
