fixedFixed a bug which would occasionally prevent trains from being placed on highlighted track
changedDelete track segment button has been mapped to D-Pad DOWN to avoid accidental deletions

Tool: God-mote

  • Ride the locomotive! Highlight a train with the God-mote and use D-Pad UP to jump inside the cabin. While riding the train, you can continue to swipe D-Pad LEFT/RIGHT to change its speed. Use D-Pad DOWN to exit. You can even blow the whistle with D-Pad LEFT!

  • Switch TV channels when there is more than 1 locomotive on the table

  • TV will automatically turn off when there are no valid locomotives in play

Tool: Mr. Claw

  • Highlighting a pose-able character will now give it a proper outline

  • Improved train placements, especially on elevated tracks

  • ALT (hold trigger on non-tool hand) allows trains to be placed on the table instead of being forced to stick to tracks

  • Fixed a bug which would occasionally prevent trains from being placed on highlighted track

Tool: Track Gun

  • ALT (hold trigger on non-tool hand) will hide spike balls from view, which makes selecting small track segments possible

  • Delete track segment button has been mapped to D-Pad DOWN to avoid accidental deletions

  • Improved track loop-closing assistant. Reminder that loop-closing algorithm only kicks in when 2 open ended tracks segments are within 90-degrees angle of each other

  • Improved snapping to existing guides

  • Preview track segment is now tinted blue

  • New Starter Marker will no longer inherit grade setting from the last track segment placed

  • General UI improvement while building tracks

System

  • Improved physics between world objects, especially between small objects such as placing a person on a bench. (Train physics will be improved in future updates)

  • Added controller haptic feedback throughout the experience

  • Tweaks to sound effects and behaviors

  • Fixed a bug where character poses are not properly restored on load

Content

  • New contents are available through Gift Boxes, which will be dropped on a weekly basis

  • Each Gift Box will yield a new item

  • New items include tank car, boxcar, grain silo, chef, baggage cart, tents, special edition cows, and more!

Known Issues

  • Certain poses will cause the pose-able character to slide across the table; try placing them with ALT (hold trigger on non-tool hand)

  • Switching tools while holding an object would make that object harder to pickup

  • When coupling train cars together, sometimes the train car that is being connected to may do a 180 flip

  • Visual effects from unboxing Starter Kit and Gift Box may appear black
