Hi all!

The next update is nearly ready and I've completely revamped quite a few things. Not all of it will be visible just yet but the upgrades give me a lot of nice new options going forward. Naturally this can introduce new bugs, so if you're interested in getting an early preview of the new content and helping iron things out there will be a beta available for the next week or so.

The main new features:

  • Complete rework of how trains move Allows for more complex track pieces, smoother movement and improved train controls

  • ~15 new track pieces New junctions, new [alt] pieces, new road/river pieces

  • New "Redirector" object for choosing where the train turns Replaces the old system of clicking on track junctions

  • New "Recently Used" row in the Toy Box To make it easier to find decorations you're currently using

Accessing the beta:

  • Right click on Tracks in your Steam games list and click Properties

  • Go to the Betas tab on the left and choose the public_beta option from the dropdown menu (you don't need to enter a code)

  • The beta should start downloading and Tracks should have a [public_beta] tag in the games list

If you have feedback on the new items or find any bugs I'd really appreciate if you posted them in the beta thread on the Steam forums or in the Tracks discord server.

Thanks!
