Hypertrain Patch Notes — December 15, 2018
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
It's the season to release another Hypertrain update!
This update brings some exciting new features as well as many bug fixes and tweaks. Thanks again for all your feedback!
MAJOR NEW FEATURES
Construction Missions
Settlements will now give missions for constructing roads to (nearby) unconnected settlements. The train that builds the shortest road will be given a big sack of gold and - as the owner of the road - is entitled to all the toll payments given by Corp trains using the road.

Construction Tech Tree Path
Construction is now one of the main strategies to win the game. This is reflected by the tech tree which now contains a path tailored to construction.

Construction Wagon
The Construction Wagon lets you build three lanes at once. Futhermore, every additional Construction Wagon adds 100kmph to the maximum allowed train speed while building (to a maximum of 500kmph).

Repair Missions
Settlements will now ask you to fix holes in existing Corp-created roads. Don't crash against holes, just fix them! :)

OTHER NEW FEATURES
- World Settings: there is now a "none" option for connections.
- Additional ambient sound effects.
CHANGES
- Construction cost: building a road segment now costs coins.
- Significantly lowered the chance of road obstacles in corkscrews and such.
- Lowered the cost of the Radar Wagon.
- Terrain generation while building is now significantly faster.
FIXES
- Fixed a bug that caused the game speed to increase when looking up or down.
- Fixed "rubber banding" issues in multiplayer mode.
- Fixed issue where the game would suddenly put your train in another lane.
- Fixed issue in the Wagon Screen where wagons could disappear after a
wagon drag-and-drop action. - .. and many more.
Please note that this version of the game is not backwards compatible with previous save games. Too much has changed within the game to make this viable. After v1.0 save compatibility will be guaranteed with every update.
Also note that not all localisation has been updated. At the moment only NL is completely up to date.
Finally, after v0.9 comes v0.10. Don't expect v1.0 too soon :)
Happy holidays!
