  • Dynamic Physics: Depending on the broken part, the locomotive may tilt, bounce, sway, vibrate, or suffer from braking and pressure issues.

  • Scaling Difficulty: Problems intensify as more parts become damaged.

  • Speeding Penalties: Exceeding the speed limit at "Slow Down" signs can cause full damage to a random part.

  • Reconfigured a switch at Krasnoyarsk station to simplify maneuvers.

  • Fixed stuttering of locomotive driving sounds.

How does it work now?

  • The more you exceed the speed limit at a "slow down" sign, the higher the chance that a random part of the locomotive’s undercarriage will be destroyed.

  • Ignoring "Turn off the electrical power" or "lower the pantographs" signs may result in the destruction of electrical parts.

  • Furthermore, levers wear out based on how often they are used.

  • Additionally, non-electrical parts wear out as the mileage increases.

  • Light bulbs wear out based on how long they remain switched on.

  • Coupler components can be damaged if wagons are coupled at excessive speeds; the higher the speed, the greater the damage.
