I just installed the game again to play the v1.0 release.

It looks and sounds very good! Congratulations on making it to the release milestone after many years of hard work.

As a developer, I must say that I'm deeply impressed by the simulation complexity and incredible scalability.

I keep telling people that Factorio is the most complex train simulator game that I've ever played. But it isn't a train simulator. It's a factory game. The trains are optional.

That's crazy to me, that a subset of a game can be more complex than entire games that "specialise" in the topic.




How do I make curved tracks?


The first bit of track you place is always straight; but if you extend the rail (by clicking on the green arrow of the first piece of rail) you can place curves.

This was genuine question BTW.


There is a tutorial in-game!

After placing a track, click the end of the track and hold shift to use the "placement planner". Helps work out the curves and things.
