This update adds a new scenario, “Milton’s takeover”, in which you play on a map of the world, challenged to expand your rail empire to all corners of the planet. This update also fixes a bug with perfume in the Futura scenario.

Fix for UI in new scenarios screen

Our focus with this update has been the tutorial. We have edited it for clarity, fixed some bugs, and extended it to teach one-way orders. Additionally, Iron Roads now shows only one notification at a time on mobile devices to keep the screen easy to read, and this update fixes a bug where the purchase status would required you to be occasionally online.

This update fixes a crash that occurred while removing a stop from a service that had trains very recently added to it. It is a rare case, but it accounts for all crashes in the last few versions of Iron Roads.

This update concentrates on improving the tutorial, both the initial tutorial for new players, and the access to mini tutorials for more advanced behaviours. We also fixed the description of builder mode, and moved the position setting for the construction toolbox to the main settings.

This update adds Builder Mode for those who want a more relaxing experience when creating their network. It isn’t challenge free, as you must still keep queues down, but you no longer need to worry about travel times. We also fixed a bug with the layout of the monthly challenge screen, and tweaked inertial scroll.

This update has some more small changes to improve the UI and playability. Most notably we’ve altered the logic that decides whether you are editing track or dragging the map. This removes the nuisance cancellations to the drawing. There are a few bugfixes in this update - We fixed a bug with the option to edit all trains on a service at once - Tapping on a train would not always select it. This is fixed now - We have removed a crash in Futura that could occur when completing contracts in a specific order We’ve also added a button to follow your trains around the network. This is for no purpose other than the satisfaction of watching a train take a tour around your map!

This is a quality of life patch to smooth out the usability of the UI - We’ve added a UI scaling option to customise the size of text and buttons in the game - You can upgrade all trains on a service in one go, no need to work through each train in a service now! - In touchscreen mode we’ve added inertial scroll to menus such as the town screen to make them easier to navigate - Town descriptions are hidden in challenge mode - We’ve made some edits to clarify text, especially around the tutorial Thanks to all those who have sent us feedback!

We have two goals with this patch: to fix some of the tougher bugs on our list, and iterate the balance a little based on feedback from iOS release. For example, many people have run out of platforms to build out their network in endless, but have a surplus of power, so we’ve increased platform rewards and nudged down power generation. There is more work to do on this, so we’ll continue to iterate in future updates as we play more under the new balance. The highlights of our fixes: - The currency indicators have been clarified a little to avoid them bleeding into the map - The crash in futura that occurred if you achieved one star without researching perfume is gone - We fixed a bug with toggling custom cargo loadouts beyond the 32nd entry in the list - We stopped trains spawning on a platform just outside a nonstop zone that another train is routing to. I realise it is tough to make sense of that sentence, but it reduces nuisance lockups in a nonstop zone - We have increased the deadzones on gamepads

This is a small patch to squash some bugs and crashes. The only gameplay change is that research progress is no longer shared between scenarios. This way each scenario stands alone as an experience, and scenario research behaviour is aligned with that of Endless mode. Other than that: - There is a fix for a crash that could occur if iOS cancels a gesture partway through, for example if you are drawing track and receive a call - We fixed a bug with scenarios where cargo chains could stop working after reloading a save. If that has happened to you reopening that save in 0.7.6 should fix it - We fixed a bug that could cause perfume notifications to be shown too often - We fixed a lockup that could occur if you manually duplicate files in the save folder Thanks for your patience as we fix these teething troubles!

After a lot of feedback that the IAP structure is confusing, we have simplified it to a single unlock for the entire game. Any old purchases will be treated as full game unlocks. This update fixes a few bugs. Apologies to anyone who was affected by them. More people have played Iron Roads in the last few days than ever before and it has exposed some issues: - There is a fix for a bug that rendered Iron Roads unplayable on larger iPads where the system UI scaling had been altered with the “More space” option - Controller support for iPhones/iPad was accidentally disabled in the initial release, this update enables it - In some cases Aluminium resource would be credited instead of Desert Dew, that is fixed now - We’ve fixed a crash on boot on iOS 15 devices - There is a fix for a bug that could cause a crash with long trains exiting non-stop zones - Drawing stations off the edge of the map is now disallowed, as it caused a crash - The 8k PNG export is disabled as it could cause crashes. We will safely re-enable this in a future update
