Tutorial

You help Jeffrey to manage his train. For this you interact with stations and junctions.
The goal is to afford the party carriage to fulfill Jeffrey's dream and allow him to retire. 🦒🎉

Stations

• There are 100 stations to explore in total on our hand-crafted map
• Each station is either a main station (marked in gold), cargo--only (marked in purple) or passenger-only (marked in green)
• You can discern the stations by their icon on the map and the main stations show a gold name in the station ui

Biomes

• The map is divided into 9 biomes: plains, sea-side, desert, city, mountains, underwater, rain-forest, volcano and rainbow space road!
• You can differentiate the biomes based on the environment around the station

Cargo

• You can buy cargo at main and cargo-only stations, each station offers 2 (cargo-only) or 3 (main station) types of cargo
• You can sell cargo at any station
• Some cargo is common and available in all biomes, while other cargo is specific and can only be bought at stations in certain biomes
• A full list of all cargo in the game can be seen in the sell tab
• For cargo which is not offered in the biome a station is in, a higher price will be paid when you sell it to the station

Passengers

• You can let passengers board at main and passenger-only stations
• Passengers pay you when they reach any other main or passenger-only station
• The "total added count" does not properly update in the jam version

Upgrades

• You can upgrade your cargo and passenger carriages and your locomotive
• Upgrades are linear, i.e. you can only upgrade to the next tier one by one (Mk1 -> Mk2 -> Mk3)
• Furthermore, you can upgrade to the party carriage (at the end of the horizontal list), to finally fulfill Jeffrey's dream
• In the jam version the carriage upgrades are only cosmetic, as the increased capacity has no effect
• Furthermore, in the jam version the cargo and money don't get deducted when upgrading (as time for implementation ran out)

My Train

• The list on the right shows your currently loaded cargo
• Below, you can see your current amount of cash you've got available
• Earn cash by selling cargo at a higher price and transporting passengers
• The total weight shows how heavy your loaded cargo is in total, in the jam version however it has no effect

Map

• The bottom right corner shows you a mini-map of your current surroundings
• By pressing [M] on your keyboard you can open a full screen map
• The map gets progressively revealed, once you visited a station its connections are shown on the map

Travel between stations

• By clicking the "Go!" button besides the map, you set off to drive to the next station
• Every journey takes 10 seconds
• You only have 5 seconds to set the fast approaching junction!
• Click on one of the available buttons or press the appropriate key on your keyboard to decide which path to take
