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.
Please note, since the game is in Early Access at this time, these settings are being updated and/or changed quite often. It is possible that the in-game settings have more parameters or different look than this wiki page. This page has been lastly updated on Oct 23, 2021.
