Simutrans 124.2.2 released on Steam

Simutrans released three minor versions this summer that have finally made its way to Steam. Here is the combined changelog of Simutrans 124.2, 124.2.1 and 124.2.2

Highlights of this version

• AddedNew way builderIf a new way starts one tile from an existing way and ends one tile from an existing way, it will now try very hard to make a parallel track. It works as good as it can do without terraforming. It may still join at a place where it cannot pass next to it but then go parallel again, greatly saving efforts (especially with diagonals).

• When you click on a chat message ticker, it opens the chat window in the corresponding message tab.

Paksets updated on Steam

• Pak128.german 2.3 beta

• Pak64 124.2.2

• Scenario tutorials for pak128 and pak64

Paksets updated outside Steam
