The simulator challenges players with building and managing a railway company – laying down tracks on procedurally generated terrain, researching and buying vehicles and transporting passengers and cargo take centre stage in the challenging Mashinky. Construction mode will take players into an isometric view, allowing them to easily build their railway network, while the rest of the game takes place in a beautiful 3D world.

You'll find yourself immersed in the task of building your own transport empire where the goal is to create your own transport empire on a procedurally generated map.

The game is a unique blend of realistic graphics combined with an isometric construction mode and boardgame-like rules.

Players start the game in control of a transport company. They must lay tracks on difficult terrain, research and buy new vehicles, manage routes and compete against economic rules to make as much profit as possible by transporting passengers and various cargos. This makes for a challenging simulation game requiring the player to consider all elements of business to be successful.

Apart from integrating Mashinky in the Steam Workshop, the new Stamp Update allows you to easily reuse, create and share your railway parts. It also contains text sharing, and dynamic thumbnails helping you orientate easily in your stamp-deck.

Stamps

• The feature allows you to create stamps or blueprints and easily use these anywhere on your map.
• You may also easily share them via text or steam workshop so you can inspire tons of people by your creativity or get latest ideas from community.
• This way you will soon have perfect deck of junctions and station designs so you could build up your transport imperium even faster!

The upcoming Road Vehicles Update (Oct. 6, 2019) will introduce cars, buses and trucks to the world of Mashinky. Unlock new vehicles as you progress through different eras, and connect towns and cities driving through roads and highways. You may even take a ride in one of your road vehicles!

Road vehicles

• You will be able to extend your transport imperium with road vehicles: buy and manage busses and trucks.
• You will unlock new and more powerful vehicles as you progress through eras, but some will be released later in the early access.
• You may use existing town road network for public transportation or connect cities with your roads, while using also road bridges and tunnels.
• You may take a ride in one of your road vehicles and enjoy realistic landscape.
• There is a new physics for road vehicles, but it will improve trains realism as well
• You may combine train stations with road stops and inventory is shared.
• Vehicles smartly occupy each road stop platform, you may lay these the same way as for train stations and design your own road stops.
• Rail road crossings will be secured by automatic barriers that will be triggered as train enters the block (so for highspeed trains, placing railway signal too close to rail road crossing may cause some disasters :)

Mashinky is available through Steam Early Access for $24.99.

Players can switch to an isometric construction mode inspired by the very best strategy classics. This is a grid based map where every change of traffic layout is a rewarding puzzle. You can build simple tracks connecting just two stations, or design sophisticated networks using junctions and signals to maximize efficiency and performance.

As the game progresses, you’ll need to extend and customize your transport empire. You can upgrade industry buildings, stations and depots in various ways, and improve your trains using new engines and special wagons. Each upgrade offers a unique bonus; greater capacity, new processing rules and even new cargo types. Players can develop their own strategy to suit best the network they're building.

With the innovative viewing modes, you can ride one of your trains or watch the operation of the network you have built. You can exit construction mode at any time to dive back into the beautiful landscapes and detailing of the 3D world. You can see your track network from a different perspective, or even jump into one of your train and enjoy the ride.
