New game

Legend

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

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
