Updates

Where land meets the sea, a lake or a river, the ground now follows the drawn water edge: smooth curves instead of a stepped outline, and no dry strip between bank and water.

Clicking on a coast or a riverbank now picks the spot you actually pointed at. In the check run, every test click landed within a fraction of a centimetre.

Not finished: where two rivers join, the water can still sit on a small visible step. It has been written down and is waiting its turn.

Sound effects arrived. Buttons click, building and bulldozing make a noise, a refused action sounds refused, and money coming in is audible. In the sound-on check run, every one of them was measured above the background.

Trains now have engine sounds and the world has a quiet background of industry and daytime. The check run found the engine sounds playing while trains moved.

Ctrl+Z now undoes your last piece of construction and cancels a drag in progress. With nothing left to undo, it says so. After loading a save it forgets earlier builds, which is a bug, not a policy.

A New Game now starts fresh: an empty network, a coal mine and a power station close together, and the first-route guide actually turns up at the start instead of quietly skipping itself.

Tooltips come in layers: the name and hotkey first, then what it does, then the details if you keep hovering or hold F1. Every button on the build rail shows its hotkey.

A one-line help strip follows the guide step and the tool in your hand through the first hour. It leaves after your first delivery, or sooner if you tell it to.

Recommended cards: while you drag track, or on the day-length setting, a small card suggests an option, gives a reason with a number in it, and applies it if asked. One setting hides them all.

Ships in a new game now find their own way along the water. In the check run they arrived, and none of them was caught sailing on land.
