what a disappointment like usual they announced new features but they exclusive to tsw 6 stuff and most likely never come to older content I called it back I commented about a few days ago
I mean, the Random events feature is included to all others add-on, which is now quite a lot. That's already something, and for me the best one of them all. Gameplay wise at least
I actually didn’t see that lol, but anyways its still bs how old content doesn’t get half the features, hell I’m still waiting for tsw 2020/ 2 routes to get Tod 4
Disappointing the random failures are not back ported. I wanted to see if the ES44C4 would blow turbos as much as GEVO's do IRL.
Rest assured, it's not a matter of "never" when it comes to compatible content. However, it may require a substantial update to that content, which needs time planned in. It's dependent on how the feature has to be implemented. Random Events are a core implementation, whereas announcements need to be setup on a route-by-route, train-by-train basis.
Tsw 2 routes says otherwise, still waiting for Tod 4 to hopefully come to all routes specially ones like NTP, TVL and WCL like at this point we are not even asking for a full remaster like GWR, we just want new lighting and maybe some new layers with in game stock
As mentioned, it all takes time and needs to be planned in. Unfortunately, keeping the full library up-to-date with new features is an impossibility. Routes that get the new updates are carefully selected and often tie in with new content.
… I hope this doesn’t sound too mean/rude but going off what I’ve read in the community over the past year, we would actually like to see fixes, updates and remasters/ up to tsw 3 standards at least! Over new routes being added and ending up with more and more problems with older stuff that never really gets fixed I get limited resources, time and the fact this is company but would it really kill the game to get community modders to do the stuff like remasters for you like some of them have already do quite a lot now and could probably become third parties…. look I just hope these old routes don’t end up like steam locomotives, completely abandoned and left to rot
I totally agree. The announcements etc are eye-candy (ear-candy?) but the random events will really affect game-play, and it seems they're implemented on old routes too, which is great. I'd assumed it would only be new routes when I saw it, so brilliant news that we'll get it on existing routes.
the main issue is that they can't just stop creating new content just to update 100+ dlc to utilize the most up to date lighting and features or they would become bankrupt. They couldn't just pull lighting devs to work on lighting, etc. Some of these features take a long time to implement which they don't always have the time or resources to do. While nice to have, it is not something they can just do. Lighting in itself is a massive project on its own for every single route and train
