About Railroad Engineer


Railroad Engineer is a train simulation game. You build railroads, drive trains, collect resources, deliver goods, and watch cities grow. There several types of raw resources that spawn randomly on the map. You can build resource collection buildings to collect there resources and then transport them to manufacturing facilities to convert them into more advanced goods. There are also several different rail cars in the game, and each one is used to transport specific types of goods and resources. Ores can only be transported in ore cars, liquids in tank cars, and so on.

Resources and goods:

There are seven raw resources in the game; wood, coal, iron, rock, food, plants, and oil. These resources are collected by placing the appropriate resource collection building on the respective resource. Raw resources can then be transported to manufacturing buildings to be combined into more advanced goods and products. There are ten products in the game; lumber, steel, processed food, fuel, chemicals, medicine, glass, clothing, and plastic. These are created at manufacturing facilities by combining raw resources and other products. There are also six "advanced" types of good in the game; batteries, electronics, circuits, furniture, cars, and appliances. These can only be created at advanced factories, and are manufactured from raw resources and products.

Rail cars:

There are six types of rail cars in the game; ore car, log car, box car, tank car, container car, and passenger car. Each car can only carry the appropriate resources and goods. Rail cars are produced at the Train Depot from steel. Make sure to have the appropriate cars for the resources and goods that you intend to transport.

Villages, Towns, Cities, and Metropolises:

You can create your own villages and grow them by supplying them with food. Villages start small, but in time can grow and eventually be upgraded into Towns, and then into Cities and then into Metropolises. Towns, Cities, and Metropolises require more types of goods than just food, and you are able to build high density buildings such as low-rise, mid-rise apartments, and highrises.

✦ AI summary

Railroad Engineer is a charming indie management game where players enjoy building and operating train routes, but the game suffers from significant progression issues and buggy systems that undermine the experience. Common complaints include a poorly explained tutorial that leaves players stuck on campaign missions without clear guidance, a confusing and broken automation feature that apparently hasn't been addressed in over a year, and unintuitive train route mechanics that require trial-and-error to master.

On the second campaign level, you are required to deliver 10 Lumber to the mission depot. However, the sawmill is unavailable to build, so you cannot produce lumber, and the town they give you is not large enough to have the yellow squares for you to build stuff on to even place a Sawmill, even after spending all of your remaining building slots on more housing in the town. I completed both tutorials, and the first campaign mission, no problem, but then hit a complete progression blocker with no explanation on how I'm supposed to go about 'unlocking' the sawmill to MAKE the lumber I need.

Lovely little game with bags of potential, but the automation feature is just so bugged and was released a year ago and hasnt been fixed. Is the game abandoned
Not recommended Dec 28, 2024
Train routes are kind of difficult to get working properly & it's also difficult to learn how they work. If you understand how they work, I do recommend it, because otherwise the game's good for the price of $4.99.

Add better coasting, clearer track building UI, comprehensible Automation and this game will be really enjoyable
