Home to a world where the railway is king and trains are the sole means of transportation and expansion, Sweet Transitsees players use these mighty iron horses to build new settlements, create intricate production lines, and grow humble villages into thriving metropolises while moving through distinct eras such as the introduction of steam power and the invention of the combustion engine.
In addition to new content, Forging Forward also adds a variety of quality-of-life improvements to the game, including a quick build ‘Undo/Redo’ action, allowing players to easily fix their mistakes; steel bridges with corners for extra architectural opportunities; and additional mid-game balancing.
