This update adds support for translating the user inteface into different languages. The first time you start the game you'll see a menu for selecting the language. You can access the same menu later by clicking on the globe icon in the main menu.
Currently two languages are included: English and Finnish, with more languages in the Steam Workshop. Please see the translation guide if you wish to make your own translation and upload it to the Workshop.
For now, editors remain in English only because of the enormous task of preparing the translation tables and translating all the pieces of text.
This update also includes improved ambient occlusion to add better shadows under trains and bridges and within trees.
The railcar underframes are also now modelled in detail:
Runs saved with an earlier version are incompatible with this one, so you may get an "error loading saved run" message when trying to continue your last run.
Other changes:
The purpose of the new asset packing tool is to bundle files together in a format that is not easily accessible to the regular user. This is a requirement for using many commercial 3D-models licensed from sites like CGTrader and TurboSquid. The tool is described in the route editor and train editor guides.
The next update focuses mainly on improving the user interface of the editors.
