| Setting | Description | Possible Values |
|---|---|---|
| Terrain | Determines the visual appearance and the nature of the terrain.. | Alpine, Wild West |
| Map | Size of the map | 128x128, 256x256, 512x512 |
| Hills | Density of hills on the generated map | Low density, medium density, high density |
| Forests | Density of forests (decorative, not the Logs-producing resource) on the generated map | Low density, medium density, high density |
| Industry | Density of resources and industries on the generated map | Low density, medium density, high density |
| Towns | Starting size of towns on the generated map | Low size, medium size, high size |
| Lakes | Density of Lakes on the generated map | Low density, medium density, high density |
| Fields | Density of Fields on the generated map | Low density, medium density, high density |
The button "Recommended for your first game!" will set all the options above to the values, which is best to start to play with.
- Note: Consider the fact this game is created by a single developer from Poland. Expect an emphasis on coal and electricity :) You will probably find it easier to recreate an "Alpine" historically accurate scenery once you're out of the Steam era and into the Electric eras. (It is quite a handicap to try to set up a North American style railroad relying on diesels only)
Advanced
The advanced settings page lets the player customize their gaming experience even more by changing the amount of starting money, the available loan, interest rate and lots of train behaviours that make the game harder or easier. At the moment some of the options are not editable.
| Setting | Description | Possible Values |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty | Selecting on of those three presets will adjust the other advanced options to make the game easy, normal or hard difficulty. Changing settings manually will set this to custom. | Easy, Normal, Hard |
| Tutorial | Enables the tutorial at the start of the game. | Enabled, Disabled |
| Random quests | Generates random quests instead of the game story mode (era progression quests are unaffected). | Enabled, Disabled |
| Start Era | Enables to start the game in any era AFTER the player reaches that era by regular game progression once. (Now it is not changeable) | I. Era to the highest Era achieved by regular play |
| Era progression method | Determines how the game proceeds to the next era - either by the player paying tokens, reaching a specific date, or either one. | Pay, Date, Pay or Date |
| Starting loan | Loan amount at the start of a game. | 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 |
| Additional loan | Maximum amount above the starting loan a player can borrow. | 0, 1000, 5000, 10000 |
| Loan interest | The amount that is paid yearly for every 100 money tokens borrowed. | 1, 2, 5, 10 |
| Fuel cost | Multiplier for cost of fuel. The "higher" cost roughly triples the indicated "normal" fuel costs. See Operating Costs for the full explanation. "Disabled" means trains run for free. | Default, Higher, Disabled |
| Build cost | Multiplier for cost of infrastructure. A higher multiplier makes building infrastructure more expensive. | 1x (Now it is not changeable) |
| Terraform cost | Multiplier for cost of terraforming. A higher multiplier makes terraforming terrain more expensive. | 1x (Now it is not changeable) |
| Auto depot connection | If enabled, automatically builds a connected railway to the depot. | Enabled, Disabled (Now it is not changeable) |
| Reverse at stop signals | If enabled, the train will automatically reverse at stop signals, when there is a red light and the waiting time is too long. | Enabled, Disabled (Now it is not changeable) |
| Reverse at stations | If enabled, the train will automatically reverse at the end of stations, when there is a better way to travel to the next destination. | Enabled, Disabled |
| Reverse when hill too steep | If enabled, the train will automatically reverse when the hill is too steep and the train hasn't got enough power to climb it. If disabled, the train only slows down and continues. | Enabled, Disabled |
| Stop trains if no money | If enabled, the trains will automatically stop when there is no money to maintenance them. If disabled, the train only slows down. | Enabled, Disabled |
| Trains reverse at the end of line | If enabled, the trains will perform "magic flip" at the end of line or anytime player presses "reverse" button in the train info window. If disabled, the trains will start going backwards with the speed and acceleration limitations. | Enabled, Disabled |
| Only one depot | If enabled, the game will contain only one depot for the whole map. If disabled, you can use as many depots as you wish. | Enabled, Disabled |
