I think another update was said to be coming this week, mainly focusing around Explore Mode improvements. Somewhere in the big patch thread.
I think it comes down to if Dovetail plan on making changes to the existing map, I don't know if they've ever made drastic changes to the main...
I know Arlesdale, narrow gauge and Culdee Fell have their own sheds, but I do think the sheds at Crovan's Gate could do with some improvements....
Mainly a thread to wonder about where the engines we'll get will "Wake up" in Timetable Mode, I guess. Where they sleep and start their days. I...
Routes taking more time makes sense, Sodor is half the size and they have to figure out what room is available for some locations and that is if...
I think Spencer could work, just some tweaks or two from his usual show self. If we get the option to pick what services we want running and maybe...
If the narrow gauge is planned, then I believe standard gauge is the main focus for now. Not just because people want more lines like Brendam and...
It is confusing from time to time, like that Knapford loop line Gordon took in one story that is non-existent yet the story is in the RWS. As for...
Who knows if some work has already started as they finalise the big update. Maybe not halfway there, but in the planning stage. For me though, I'm...
Hopefully it gets better than they expect with that first big update, the physical release and the Switch. Especially the future content, there's...
Both. The Arlesdale Railway wasn't introduced in the model series, then it was retconned with the Arlesdale finally getting introduced in CGI. On...
I highly agree. Having a custom timetable for AI engines in Explore Mode would be nice, allows the world to feel more alive and it would let us...
I've been wondering about Toby's line, with how Dovetail are aiming for a more RWS inspired Sodor with TV elements. If I remember correctly,...
Some are likely waiting for the physical release like me, which means hopefully more improvements and content by the time that releases.
When the update does drop, I'd suggest keeping a look out for anything new in the game. I don't expect a new engine or a new branchline, but maybe...
I think someone recently confirmed the first update is a big one, so it's likely they are working full steam to get that out. If it's a big one,...
Likely just hard at work on the game fixes and whatever first plans they have or I don't know if the team is also working on other sim games. It...
I know this thread is probably too early, but better sooner than later I guess. At the moment, we can set Sodor to different times of the year...
Sodor Island Models has released a video today investigating that, none of the tracks are finished. I am curious how many characters we'll get too...
I've thought what if they won't actually be paid DLC. New engines most definitely will be paid, but it would be a pain if they decide to paywall...
I do wonder what other locations could be added if we're going for a blend of RWS canon lines with a mix of TVS parts. Don't think we see much up...
Things will pick up with the release of new characters, railways and new features/improvements. All sorts of checklists to tick, some nice...
I only now found out, you can visit Crock's Scrap Yard heading down the unfinished Brendam branch. Where Edward saved Trevor from scrap.
I had one idea for the cosmetics where they all take place at the works, like prompts similar to in-game mission icons so we can hop in straight...
Even though Wonders of Sodor's map is inspired heavily on Awdry's RWS map, we did see a few locations make their way in like the barge siding from...
The Vicarstown branch from what I understand leads to the Vicarstown Dieselworks and, according to the wiki, the Sodor Ironworks. The ones between...
Especially in Explore Mode where the only other characters who can appear are just the engines & rolling stock you have to spawn. I don't know how...
It's possible the poster slots are just placeholders, Sodor has a lot of fan favourites. Every poster seems to tie to a service or location and...
I assume timetables for existing characters will expand in a future update or two, hopefully. For Explore Mode, would love a customisable...
Gordon has blue handrails beside the cab and tender, that's one of the only details I can think of aside from the more realistic placements of...
Once we have more standard gauge engines and rolling stock, I think that's a good starting point for the smaller lines. Skarloey is accessible...
He does seem a little off to me, like trapped between model, CGI and a real life Fat Controller. I wonder what the other human characters coming...
Makes sense. Skarloey, Arlesdale and Culdee aren't as spread out across the map and players will want to see & play more characters on their...
It will likely all come down to how that episode goes and how they want to adapt it. A Close Shave might work as trying to slow the train down to...
If we get empty flatbeds, allow engines to be placed on them. At least the smaller engines like from Skarloey, Culdee Fell and Arlesdale should...
With the closed off areas around Sodor hinting at future map expansions, are there anymore collectibles anyone would like to see added? Would you...
True, I forgot about those Take'N'Play renders. I'm not quite sure what other stories I'd like to see adapted though, but maybe some seasonal...
I wouldn't mind either originally flesh with the rear like Annie & Clarabel or given the grey face treatment. The thing with the Culdee Fell...
I think we might just get Culdee and Patrick/Lord Harry, but if the rest are adapted they may give them enough difference without needing to...
A thought occurred earlier, what if we're getting each section of Sodor in a sort of Season based format like the show? Each Season gave more...
Another thing, I wonder if any of the assets will be replaced in the future. The platforms on the narrow gauge side of Crovan's Gate are too high,...
I wonder considering we're going for a mix of Railway Series and TV Series Sodor, if the Skarloey Slate Quarry will be around or if it will be...
I was thinking about Culdee's trial past Devil's Back as a story idea earlier, that could work.
It could be nice to give Explore Mode a feature to set engines we're not currently using on service runs of our choice or even light loco, like...
This hasn't happened with me, but I did notice it a few times in gameplay videos on YouTube. I've noticed what might be a bug in Explore Mode when...
I feel like Spencer will be a DLC. As for any Railway Series characters, TV Series characters will most definitely come first while the game...
Even if he's not playable, it would be nice to see Cranky at Brendam as part of the area like how we get to see Bertie around Thomas's branch.
