- New Achievements, Tidal Power, Export Targets - 2 July 2026
This update contains the following changes: Added Export Targets option to custom game menu (requires an increasing number of export contract completions per cycle) The Snow Town achievement has been replaced by the Ice King achievement Added Speedster achievement Added Tidal Power Plant Fixed broken text for train temperament selectors The Export Targets rule is intended to allow increasing the tension in custom games, especially when playing with "Allow actions while paused". In the future, I'm planning to add a few presets in a submenu under "Start Game", some of which will include this rule. The Snow Town achievement was replaced due to being too dependent on random numbers. The Ice King achievement requires the Train Core to be above the snow line instead of the Town Hall. This makes a somewhat similar type of challenge, but much more likely to encounter a map where it is possible.…
