    Here’s a thought that just came to me (may not be possible but if it is it would be insane) - So we can add waypoints to lines so the vehicles go a certain route without adding a station. One thing that always bothered me was that at terminal stations you always have to use one platform. But what if you had a siding, set a waypoint there and the vehicle stopped at one terminal platform, used the siding to reverse back into the other one and goes on its way. Its something I’ve always wanted. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

    They’re talking about intercity stuff. Did I miss something or will we be able to manage regions with different cities?

        Oh! I didn’t realize it was a mirror/bot community, but you’re right! Then it’s probably not even possible to post

        Yup! I didn’t realize that lemmit.online as a whole is a reddit to lemmy interface. And it’s indeed impossible to post there, only their bot can

    Really happy to see that there are no longer milestone unlocks! I agree with the devs saying it just made it so everyone followed the same exact progression.

    I’ve been waiting a while for this news update! Looks like cargo train transport is going to be slightly modified, with storage depots and the ability to create your own cargo transport lines. I say that’s better than the automatic trainspawning in CS1, my tracks were clogging up from all the freight transport. Still no ability to charge delivery fees which is unfortunate.

    Exciting to see you can have bus-only pathways, I’m curious to see in the city service dev diary if they will introduce roads only traversable by garbage trucks and emergency vehicles, like in the Traffic Manager mod.

    There also was a hint at milestone points and a skill tree system for new tech development, seeing min-maxed cities (state-of-the-art tourism but everyone graduates after elementary school, as an example) will be a lot of fun.

      Definitely would love to have service vehicle roads in the base game. And the combination of the old milestone system with unlock points sounds intriguing.

      I got major Transport Fever vibes from this update, which in my opinion is very good news as I love that game!
