Update v0.8 out now!

Another month, another update! This update focuses on multiplayer coop play through the addition of factions.

MAJOR NEW FEATURES

Factions A faction allows human players to work together under a single banner. Faction members share settlement ownership bonuses. Each faction has a tax fund which is used to distribute the faction's total wealth evenly across its members. A faction wins the game if the average of the lengths of all its members surpasses 50.

Toll Revenues Toll is now paid to the creator of the road segment. Toll revenues are paid out at the end of the day. Shop Stock Settlement shops now have a limited supply of wagons.

Control Mapping Controls can now be mapped to custom keys!

OTHER NEW FEATURES

• Winding road segments.

• New types of road overhangs.

• Neon signs on stations and some buildings.

• Purple gold items. Can be found in Marauder Nests. Rare but valuable.

CHANGES
