Route Editor Availability

[taoroot]

Hello, I would like to ask the developers when it is planned for the route editor to be functional, please?

Thank you very much for the information, looking forward to hearing from you.

Not yet. We still are improving the core game, adding the editor and having it catch up with the game updates would make you wait even longer for progress with both. For example, the currently available scenarios may or may not work with the nearest update, introducing a new scenario system - the new ones can be much more advanced than the old ones though. It's an upgrade for the users, but may cause all the work made by both ours and community scenario creators go to trash. It would be a shame if you made a map, put a lot of work in it, and then had to do all the work from scratch, because something was changed with the game in the meantime.

Is it planned to provide some "developer guide" for new scenario system to enable community to create new scenarios ?

Thank you very much for your time and the information, Goppel, I appreciate that you are putting a lot of work into the SimRail quality experience! For me it's the best train simulator so far 👍 I was just curious since there was no information in the dev logs. Really looking forward, since the reason I bought SimRail was because of editor and multiplayer 🙂

Thought it would be best to ask this here and not create another thread.

Reading through the private server thread I see that private servers for the Main Routes wont be a thing, but I was wondering if that would be different when the route editor is eventually (hopefully) Released publicly?. For Example, Route editor is released and I make the Hurstbridge/Mernda lines in the 1980s Complete with all the boxes simulated, would it be possible to self host a server because one of the things that makes potentially developing routes and such like for this is the potential multiplayer aspect with the signalling/dispatching and the driving?
