160+ Hours and I'm still hooked! - Updated review Again for the third time
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of playing Lazy Train Game for over 160+ hours now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the most relaxing and satisfying builders I’ve played in a long time. Whether you’re looking to zone out and manage resources or build a massive railway empire, this game nails the "cozy" vibe perfectly.
A huge thank you to the developer, The Game Warden, for the early access opportunity aswell being your official go to update guy, it's been amazing to see the progress and care put into this full release and whatever else is to come.
For new players: The logistics can get a bit complex as you expand! I loved the game so much that I created a full video series and guide to help anyone who gets stuck on certain levels or resource chains. You can find my guide in the Steam Community "Guides" section, or search for BubletsGaming on YouTube if you want to see some high-level layouts in action.
Can't recommend this enough! and with updates still to come i cant wait
I'm enjoying it so far! It has fun track building mechanics that are pretty simple to learn, and the music is quite catchy! With a few control adjustments, I got it working flawless on my steam deck, and this is looking like a game I'll be sinking many hours into.
After initially putting over 8 hours in the Demo prior to release I have now put 17+ hours into the main game and still love it! This is essentially a resource gathering sim focused around model trains that can be played either in the background as an idle type game or have all your effort and time into creating an insane model train layout in your Living Room. With multiple maps, workshop support and a Developer that responds to discussions and bug concerns with plenty of plans to come I can't wait to see what improvements and changes will come in the future! If you are on the fence about this game try the demo, you will become addicted quick. 5 Thumbs Up, 10/10 game, No complaints here!
Today marks the first major update of Lazy Train Game! A lot of work has been put into this release. I hope you find the new features enjoyable!Before going any further, I wanted to let you know that Lazy Train Game will be a part of Train Fest in just a few days and will be on sale during the event (Jul 20 - Jul 27). If you're planning on purchasing Lazy Train Game you might want to just wishlist it for now and then wait for a few days for it to go on sale. Now, let's get to the actual update!New Features:PropsAbout 36 props have been included in this release. Use them to decorate your scenes! All of these have been set up as collectibles that you can gather throughout the scenarios. Some are easy to collect, while others are a bit more challenging! Speaking of which, the scenarios have been modified a bit to account for placing and hiding props in various locations. Enjoy!(Image provided courtesy of BubletsGaming)Curved StorageCurved storage has been added to make it possible to more easily setup your fabricators in tighter spaces or in more interesting ways.Several New TracksAdded several new tracks such as railroad crossing tracks, a curved ridge track, a steel bridge, etc.Single Resource TrainsTrains can now be set to only carry one resource type. You can upgrade them to have up to 5 cars.Advanced ModeAdvanced mode has been added back into the game. The UI was completely redone at one point before release, so some of you might have used it when only the demo of the game was available. It's essentially the same, but the grid now shows the advanced grid size while in simple mode it only shows the simple grid size.Key BindingsSeveral users requested being able to rebind keys. So, here it is!New UpgradesFabricator Output upgrades increase the amount of resources the respective resource fabricator produces.Transfer Rate upgrades increase how fast resources are moved to or from a train car.As previously mentioned, the Max Cars upgrade allows you to add more train car...
Let's dive right in with the upcoming features and changes that are slated for late June!PropsSome of you might have played a much earlier version of Lazy Train Game that included props that you could decorate with. I had removed them at one point to make sure I could focus on the core gameplay. Now that the game is in a pretty good place, it seems like a good time to add them back in. They will also be scattered throughout the game as collectibles.Image courtesy of Bublets Gaming. Check out his channel on YouTube!Updated ScenariosSince there are more collectible items, it only made sense to make some of them challenging to get to! All three scenarios have been updated with new track placement locations and challenges. Thanks again to Bublets Gaming for giving some awesome ideas and finding some good locations to hide some of the collectibles.Key BindingsSeveral people asked for this, and I know it's important to many people. So, here it is!Nerfed Auto CollectorsAuto collectors used to simply collect resources and store them in any storage unit. Some people brought this up in Steam Discussions, and even I thought this was pretty goofy to do this, but didn't have time to change it before release. Now how auto collectors work is they will only auto collect resources for storage units that are connected to the auto collector, or each other, as long as they continue to be the same resource type. So, if it's a wood collector and it has a wood storage next to it, and if that wood storage unit had another wood storage connected to it, then it will auto collect for those two storage units. If there is a non wood storage unit at any point it will break the chain and anything beyond that will not auto collect.Curved Storage Tracks!This feature has also been requested by several people. With the change to auto collectors, this seemed like an obvious next addition. You will also be able to have fabricators in much tighter areas without running out of room to place storage units...
