Mountain railway merging with train's tracks - what the heck?

Ok, by now I'm just assuming the developer team is kidnapped and they're trying to send us a message or ransom note by messing this much everything everywhere... Or they might be simply effing around since they've realized how effed up this whole effery had boiled down to...

Besides everything going wrong since the disgraceful services' update, I've decided to give it a chance and try to figure out what to do with the bunch of stuff I was given. Spoiler: needless to say the amount of coins I was given didn't nearly come close to the amount I've spent - and I could not finish yet putting things to a minimum order. Simoleons and buildings weren't barely enough and I foresee myself becoming broke by the end, which is near. And neo simoleons expenses and compensations were bluntly ignored! 

Nevertheless, scrolling through my screen I come across this weird situation (screen capture attached): they've merged railways along the cities within those decorative ones alongside the mountain... Now my trains venture themselves into the interiors of the rock...

Such amateurish for those who spoiled the experience of thousands of players/customers listening only to the voices on their heads.

Endless disappointment...

 

  • Hi Mayors, 

    We released an update today with a fix for this in it. After updating your game, could you take a peek and see if the Railway station tracks are still connecting to the mountainside tracks when any mountain building is placed and the station is near the mountain tracks?

  • Train tracks placed paralel to the existing train tacks and on or near the edge of the building area in the main city are going into the mountain, when mountain items are placed. Building train bridges across water on those tracks is not possible. Also not working is that you could follow trains by clicking on them. That’s still possible, but if the train is passing a station, the whole game crashes.

    Mine is doing the same thing, train disappears behind mountain and then reappears as if coming out of a tunnel.

    So mine had started to do the same, especially in Frosty Fjords. I removed my mountain pieces, it fixed the bug, and now I can’t put them back because the bug resurfaces.
