New Train Gameplay: Train Deliveries

Hey Mayors,

Train Deliveries introduce a brand-new progression system and expand train gameplay with deeper strategy, new rewards, and more ways to play. Players can now participate and grow their rail network like never before.

Train Cars

Train Cars are a new addition that expands how you manage your rail network.

• Train cars are unlocked through Mass Transit HQ (Transit ranks).
• Once unlocked, they can be purchased in the RailSimoleon Shop using:
• SimCash
• RailSimoleons

Car Types

There are 11 new train cars, divided into:

• Passenger Cars
• Cargo Cars

Each car type plays a role in fulfilling deliveries and dispatches, adding more strategy to your gameplay. The number of cars player can configure to a train depends on a train and train level 

Car unlocks: 

• Passenger Cars unlock at mass transit levels: 3, 10, 20, 30, 40
• Cargo cars unlock at Mass Transit Levels: 2, 5, 15, 25, 35, 45
• Once you unlock specific car, you receive one copy of it and then it becomes available in the Train Shop
• Each car is responsible for transporting specific types of passengers or cargo.
• You can have multiple train cars of same type

 

 

Train Deliveries

Train Deliveries are the new core feature of the Train gameplay

• Train Deliveries are the main source of progression for both:
• Mass Transit rank
• Train Pass
• Delivery requirements scale with your Mass Transit rank, after you unlock more train cars, becoming more complex over time.
• Deliveries, depending on the type require:
• Specific train cars
• Specific items
• Specific types of passengers
• Specific train type
• Required car type is indicated in the Train Delivery 
• Don’t like the current delivery task? You can reroll it by watching an ad or with a simcash.
• Deliveries are time based. There is usually plenty of time to complete them. However if you run out of time you can extend the timer by watching ads or with simcash. 
• Players can dispatch multiple trains towards the same Delivery as long as the Delivery criteria are met. (cargo or passenger type, car type etc)

Delivery Slots

• The number of active deliveries you can run depends on your Mass Transit rank.
• All players must progress to unlock additional delivery slots.
• An extra delivery slot is always available via a small in-app purchase and it lasts until the end of the train pass. 

Train Deliveries vs. Train Dispatches

Train gameplay now offers two complementary systems: Dispatches and Deliveries.

Train Dispatches

• Players can continue dispatching trains as before. Even if there is a delivery active, players can decide to simply dispatch trains with different passengers and items.
• With dispatches players can earn Railsimoleons and Train Pass points but cannot progress in Mass Transit ranks
• Dispatching now includes transporting:
  • Passenger types
  • Cargo types (industrial and crafted items)
• To transport materials and passengers you must equip the correct train car

Mass Transit

Mass Transit is now available to all players, offering a shared progression system centered around train gameplay.

• All players begin at the same Mass Transit starting rank.
• Progression is driven by completing Train Deliveries (not regular dispatches)

• Your Mass Transit rank determines how many train delivery slots you have available and what train cars you have unlocked.
• As you progress, you’ll unlock additional delivery slots, allowing you to complete more deliveries at once. Progression tied slots remain unlocked permanently. 

Advancing through Mass Transit ranks unlocks valuable rewards, including:

• New train cars
• RailSimoleons
• Rail Tokens
• Extra delivery slots
