After today's update (PS5 1.035), Japan and Czechia have been added to the country filter list for obvious reasons, but China has been added to the list too. New country coming soon I guess? Otherwise it would be a weird error
hmm interesting and make some sense since tadami is quite ready to release and union workshop consists of two chinese guys
If the TSW chinese route isnt selling my usual, hong kong style singapore fried rice, sweet and sour chicken balls, noodles and bean sprouts, then im outta here! I would also pay for the route in cash, CASH IS KING
The Hong Kong Tramway complete network would be nice, if improbable. And the new(ish) line to Lhasa probably too much of a political hot potato for DTG. Just hope if we are getting a Chinese route, it’s not high speed i.e. a remake of their work for TSC. I want something winding through the mountains with those big DF11 diesels on the front, or steam locos on coal trains across the Jingpeng Pass.
Its defo gonna be more likely to be a Hong Kong route, especially due to so many British assets for that region. it *may* even be a retro 1990s setting, ie before the 1999 handover. All that could easily be done from UK archives.
Chengkun Railway: Hanyuan – Puxiong, Western Sichuan Passwere and Longhai Railway: Lingbao - Mianchi the most chic routes with the atmosphere of real Chinese atmosphere! I hope for something like this for TSW
Asked in Roadmap stream. Me: It appears that China is now in the route filter feature, is that intended or a bug? (Intentional, to not get the classic roadmap answer) Alex: um not entirely sure, i guess a good answer um I wouldn't think it's a bug because it'd be a really weird bug. but um I can probably say with some confidence that it does that doesn't relate too much right now. So I guess we wait, not for something very soon.
It's intended to be like this as no sane person would think it's a bug, and then would have to answer how intended that is.
If you spawn a train on free roam, then go to the filters tab, after selecting the motive power that you wish and scroll down, you will see a tab for China. Along with UK, USA etc... Is a Chinese route coming to the game in the future? Let me know your thoughts
My thoughts are that we already discovered this ages ago and aren't sure if it's preparation, coincidence or a mistake. Be patient, Direct's in 4 days.
My thought is that using the search function to search for 'China' would have brought this up: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/new-country-listed-under-filters.98683/
I consider it highly unlikely. DTG aren’t going to build it in house and the only known Asian third party are Union Workshop who appear to be in deep doodoo with their four years in the making Tadami Line, pulled from release at the eleventh and a half hour and now uncertain when or even if we will ever see it.
I think it’s safe to assume that there will be a Chinese route but whether it is announced soon is anyone’s guess. DTG do like to announce new countries in their Direct videos and there’s one of those very soon so keep your eyes peeled.
I just checked on PC; China is also there. I'm hoping for more countries to be added, like Spain and Australia as well.
Spain would be great to have, especially if they could work out how to include gauge-changing in the game.
