Fully moddable

Core game data itself is created and loaded using the tools available to all modders, and includes a detailed asset editor for making new buildings, vehicles, or any of the assets in game.

Performance as a Feature

Custom rendering, network, and spline simulation tools allow a huge amount of vehicles - giving intense levels of scale seen by the great tycoon games of the past.

Procedural worlds to play in are within a click of a button, but you can also load maps from heightmap data and create your own custom scenarios and maps. Upload them to share with others, or challenge yourself and complete those made by others.

Detailed financial simulation

Corporate management and detailed statistics are provided in game to allow maximum control of your transport empire. Analyze individual train expenses and profits; through to complex lending and financial planning. It's not just good enough to built the routes - you also need to manage the business as well.
