                      kodub whyyyyyyyyyyy

idk what  im looking a

the messed up pixel on the side

ITS ON ALL OF THEM 

Game is now unplayable

Developer

I'll fix this in 0.6! It can't be fixed before then because changing this will break determinism

how so?

I think that he means that all previous records may not work afterwards

oh

add bug slides and different grip on different surfaces. Iike the penalty sand/grass, grass, dirt, ice. Also make campaigns like tm2020

so, kodub has said they wont do that anytime soon. like all of that

it would be cool, but it would also make it similar to TM, I think it's a good idea anyway since it would make the game more diverse

I mean it would be hard to do since a bug slide is a bug in the code, so introducing an intentional bug could cause issues, and we all saw the effects of tmnf dirt aka landing bug mania

There's already nose bugs

How? Dym ramming into a wall and getting a random bounce? Send me a map w/ setup and directions

Here(just press forward and left)

I hope this gets patched 

Some people call it a rim bounce/wheel bounce from me it looks like a nose bug

Because you change direction so quickly

I think that adding bug slides or making campaigns like they are in Trackmania would be a poor idea because (and many people haven't identified this concept yet) Trackmania and PolyTrack are DIFFERENT games.

Otherwise, I find all of the other suggestion good.

hello kobud can you add button on track that shows author medal in next update please :)

Developer

Sorry there probably won't be any author medals!

(1 edit) (+1)

how about a bot you can race with for your first to tenth run so beginners know where to go and which line to take 

I think we need this because watching world record just makes you feel not as good as them and they risk on every corner

(1 edit)

You could just watch the routes of the top players or even a random player.

Leaderboard kept on failing to load, is there any problems with the server?

are you in school  or is polytrack blocked on your wifi? my school wifi blocks it somehow I think

no my own pc

then idk, I don't have a pc

Developer

Possibly! Is it still happening?

No, thank you for fix the issue :)

make a app of polytrack for iPhone and iPad 

I tried to search this fun game in the App Store but it wasn’t there

And when ever polytrack reloads on your website, I lose all my own tracks and progress. Please fix this problem. This game may get number 1 on AppStore.

You can save your account including all of your progress (not your tracks)

Developer

There probably won't be an iPhone app for a while since Apple has pretty strict requirements for the App Store, also they don't allow cross compiling. I'm working on an Android app though.

I'm very interested about this problem with the save data on my website. I guess it only happens in Safari? Can you see if it works in other browsers?
Can you also see if it saves correctly when you use this link? https://app-polytrack.kodub.com/0.5.0/

PolyTrack for iPhone and iPad is came out 30 Years Ago in the 90s Era in PolyTrack 7.8.0 Version in 1994

AppStore was be Founded in 1986 but PolyTrack on Mobile Came Out in 1940

PolyTrack Reloads on your Website any Devices on the Game

I'm asking again for different times of day, and the ability to change the floor color (of the whole map)

such as sunset and nighttime, etc it would make the building so much more fun

Developer

Different times of day will come at some point.

The ground color is tied to the environment so there probably won't be an option to change it. There will be more environments which will have some new colors though!

thanks, looking forward to it!

when I slow down I start to crash. Can you fix this?

that's called initiating a drift.

lol

(1 edit)

Kodub, can you maybe add that not everything in the editor is 90 degrees, but also 45 for example. So you can make more different tracks

Developer

This isn't planned for now.

Also the track parts wouldn't connect if they were rotated 45 degrees so I think it'd be better to make specific 45 degree versions of selected parts

(+1)

Hey, I have a really cool track I want to submit but its almost double the character limit.

I don't know how to submit it, and I think it is high enough caliber to possibly be a community track.

damn. that looks insane!

just split it into 2 messages

that looks like a great track

Developer

Hey this looks really cool!

You should submit it on the Discord server if you haven't already!

oml this looks really cool.just double it and give it to the next person I mean just split it into two (what Kolbert said). By any chance could you share its name?

Make this person the one to build the official tracks cause he is insane 

do a link to a paste bin or something, can you send it to me!

Deleted post

idk if this is supposed to happen, but when I am drifting while turning and then fall of an edge it makes my car turn the opposite direction

that has been in the game for a long time and at this point its a feature. release your turn input before a jump or dropdown to snap into a noslide or drift cancel, or use it to your advantage

ok thx

Kodub you can nosebug in this game play this track(just press forward and left)

I hope this gets patched

Idk how to call it, maybe a wheel bounce or so

Rim Bounce. The wheel doesn't actually contact with the ground, the rims does.

The pause menu is TOO EMPTY. You should def. add something bruh (also put pause menu in mobile with fps toggle, cockpit cam, spectate or exit button lol)

(-1)

Race against shadows of my other profiles would be very neat

you can, you just have to find them on the leaderboard and select them then click watch. as long as you have ghost care activated you should be able to race them.

Hey kodub maybe you can make another forum for asking questions for beginners or even long time players 

(-1)

Also though this is not a bug you can save a millisecond on every track by steering right before the finish line

(-1)

apart from high speed ones where it won't count because it saves like half a millisecond p

We need a more robust login system, I just lost my login key(just four or five characters from my notes where I had it saved and now I have no way to access it, surely we can login with discord or itch

its not five stuff its lite 30

Hi,

In editor can you add a car as a block?

Developer

How would you like it to work?

Just like an obstacle

(+1)

speed boosters and more gravity

Speed Boosters Came Out 107 Years Ago in the Alpha Version of PolyTrack

(+1)

Maybe a bit of a boring suggestion, but I think some kind of organizing system for the custom imported tracks would be really useful and appreciated if this hasn't been mentioned already. I've been enjoying playing some of the community campaigns that are shared in the forums here, like the weekly shorts, but it's left my import page a bit of a mess haha. It would be really nice if I could move tracks into folders or something

Developer(+2)

It's on my todo list! But it's probably not something I'll have time for anytime soon

hey kodub I lost my main acc and don't know the user token is there anyway I can get account back?

Developer

No, sorry there is no way to recover lost accounts currently!

that's unfortunate , but thanks for the help tho😅

(1 edit)

Whenever you are flipped upside-down while traveling upward in midair, vertical deceleration is slowed. Being at any sort of angle while midair can cause minor movement toward wherever the bottom of the vehicle is facing (depending on the context it may or may not be noticeable). However, there are multiple ways that it could be implemented into tracks, and it is a very minor affect. So, If it were kept rather than being fixed, there would be no difference with quality of gameplay, and track-makers could be more creative.

One other possible option would be to fix it but have a track piece that can enable it (with a more increased effect) and a track piece that can disable it, which would be a pretty unique feature in my opinion.

Developer

I've considered disabling this effect when the wheels are not touching the ground

Hello Kodub. I would love it if you added different surfaces to the game (especially ice or wood) as it would add a lot more variety to the game and it would make the gameplay more interesting. 

Oh and grass

Developer

There is no plan to add different surfaces like in TrackMania.

ok cool i understand that u dont want it to be a tm knockoff but still, atleast have the different biomes have the correct surfaces

random question here but how did you get the AU at the end a bit differently i want to join ur clan cuz im ozzie too! thx (your plays r amazing!)

oh cool u just gotta use the flag emoji :D

THANKS!!!!!!!!!! <3 i love how good you are at the game lol im ur fan btw love the effort!!!!

(+1)

Add a Anything in the Game

  1. More Track Parts in the Shop Menu more Than 200,000,000 Track Parts
  2. Add a Cars on the Game: Polycarsnow, Polycarrally, Polycardesert, Polycarisland, Polycarbay, Polycarcoast and Official Car on the Planet 25 Cars
  3. Add a Shop Menu with an In-Game Currency
  4. Maximum Currencies Coins and Diamonds is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 or 2^63-1
  5. Color on the Shop menu More Than 10,000 Colors with the Color Code
  6. Coordinates can be Show on The Editor
  7. Viewing Spreadsheet on the Microsoft Excel Name is (008)

The Current Version on this Game is 10.10.8

(1 edit)

I 100% agree. if u added like special skins and you could buy them with in game currency that would be super cool. also u could actually make some decent money from it if u had to pay for a different type of currency for limited edition skins. i would certainly buy things for irl money.

I agree with adding some form of currency, unless you need to pay for it. It would be easier (and more effective) to have ads to pay for server costs or to gain revenue. If microtransactions are added, five-year-olds will be reaching for their parents' credit cards. Also, it would be difficult to implement microtransactions due to how profiles work, and people would be really upset if they lost their account after having done a microtransaction.

true true

Developer

An in-game currency is something I want to do relatively soon! It would be used for buying skins and customization options for the car.

There is no in-game purchases planned with real money for now. I agree ads are better due to the target audience of the game being quite young.

kodub would you like to do a partnership where together we could make a poly track 2 would you be down for that

Fr

Adiciona uma aba para qualquer pista ser publica sem a necessidade de compartilhar codigo e sim apos a postagem no jogo. e porfavor adiciona um boost up de velocidade LOW HIGH and VERY HIGH

(+1)

Hi Kodub!

Thanks for the airbrake update but, can u add Speed Booster pads which u can place in the editor and different cars  in the future updates?

YESSSS

Hi Kodub,

I’ve been trying to reset my password on polytrack.fun, and the site says “Confirmation email sent,” but I haven’t received anything — not even in spam, promotions, or other folders. I’ve tried multiple times with the correct email but still no luck.

Could you please check if there’s an issue with email delivery or if my account is stuck? I’d really appreciate any help so I can get back to Polytrack!

Thanks a lot for your time,
– REGNAR

Developer

Hey!

That's an unofficial website that I have nothing to do with. You'll have to ask the owner of that website for help!

Oh i thought u were the one who created that web

Anyways thanks!

I think it would be cool if there was an overall leaderboard for community and official tracks.

Suggestion: you can also see how far ahead or behind you are to your pb (or a chosen run) if you have ghost car off.

If we don't have speed boost, can we have a Less Grip and More Grip to make track more interesting?

Hey, Can you add Copying/Pasting Objects, Or make it so that we can make custom objects?

So we don't really have to keep making the same object repeatedly..

Lost my account somehow. Went to import my profile after not playing for about a month and it said "User profile not found on server."

really need this acc back as it's part of a school competition.

Developer

Sorry, I guess this account must have been for an older version of PolyTrack.

It won't be possible to recover the account

Would like it if besides your fastest run, you could choose to save a second run if you do some really cool flip or something and want people to see.

Developer

Yes! The plan is to allow people to share replays in a similar way to tracks

Nice! that'll help with my competition :D

Hello, Dev.

So, I've tried the game (PolyTrack) for an hour or so, and I really enjoy it. Unfortunately, since I only have low-end mobile device, I have several issues that doesn't even make me to enter the game, I assume it is lack of incompatibility of older devices. Even though I can access it through other stronger devices which I don't have (such as PC or higher spec phones), I just found it kind of unfortunate, or at least it's for me.

Perhaps would you consider to make the game more accessible to older/weaker devices in the future update? If so, that would be much appreciated.

I know this issue is more like my own issues, then again, I have no idea which other people who struck on the same issue like I have. Again, my main suggestion is making the game gets more accessible for older/weaker devices, but whether it's granted or not, I respect your decision.

Thanks for making the game, Dev. Have a nice day out there.

(P.S.: I'm not sure if I had to send the error screen here, but if you need it, let me know about it.)

Developer

There will be some big optimizations in 0.6.0 which should make the game run better on slower devices!

If you got an error definitely send it here so I can take a look!

Add the ability to add text as a object in the editor, also a copy and paste feature would also be cool or just a blueprint so you can use it for different levels without having to remake it.

Developer

Copy and pasting is definitely coming! Text objects might come later but it's not something I've planned to do in the near future

Hi Kodub,

I have a suggestion, the option to increase / decrease the track's gravity via a setting in the editor, having the ability to set the track's gravity would be super cool.

Developer

Hey! No such feature is planned. I think it would be a bit too confusing, but I think you could see in the Discord server if someone would like to make a mod!

Hi Kodub, 

Just wanted to say that this is a great game that you've created. Runs so smoothly, all in a browser too!

My suggestion is to calculate a global rank for every profile. I feel like if you logged in to the game and the first thing you see is your global rank and your percentile(global rank/total ranks * 100), it would be really cool. Seeing your global rank improve every time you get a new PR would definetly increase motivation. It's like the leaderboards that you show for each track, except that this leaderboard would be for ALL tracks. You could separate this leaderboard into Official Tracks and Community Tracks too. I think the global rank itself could be calculated by getting the average of all your ranks on every track, or something similar. 

Thanks!

Developer

Thank you!

A global leaderboard for the combined time of all official tracks will definitely come at some point, probably during the next few major updates. It will put a bit more pressure on the servers having to retrieve the time for all tracks, but I think it should be doable

I'd like if besides seeing your ranking as a percentage of the number of players, you also see your rank as a percentage of the fastest time; e.g, where you're just a few milliseconds away from the best time, and a hundred thousand others are too, you'd still see that you got really close.

(1 edit)

Also-- When picking orientation in the Editor, I sometimes have to click over and over to get the right one. little floating 3d copies of the part in relation to the camera or something, instead of x-y-z axes, would save a lot of time :D


-ooh, 400th post :)

Developer

I was thinking about something like this, but I wonder if the picture would be too small?

I might look into it again when I have time!

So, we have tracks that go like this ↔ and like this ↕. Could we have tracks that go like this ↗ ? And also pieces to connect these to the regular tracks. That would be really cool... 

Developer

Some track parts will probably get diagonal versions, but not all

While you're here, what about booster tracks?

(2 edits)

(surely someone already tell but...)  A FRIEND PAGE PLSSSSS AAAAAA. 

A wey to safe some users (like fellas, random person, or similar), to get they ghost more easily. Now i am with a friend playing in the same acc to fight each other, but with a wey to safe this user, will make so much easy get to they ghost, and figth tehm jeje. A favorite page, friend, or similar thing. Thanks for reading! ˆˆ have a nice day˜

Edit: this is a suggest to add a friend page on the leaderboard 😅 sorry if i wasn't clear 🙇

(1 edit)

If you go to "profile" and click on the account you want to save you'll see a button that's called "export". If you click on that button you will get a message that says: "dont share this code with anyone". You gotta click on "confirm". Then you'll get a code. Just copy the code and place it in a document or write it down. 

If you accidently removed the account you can go to "profile" again and click on "import". Just put your code there and you'll get your account + all your worldrecords back. 

Hope this helps :D

Yeah I Know! ^^ i use this to play with a friend in the samd acc (i have my main acc), i do this to fight each other, otherwise it will be so hard to find each other on the learderboard 😔🥲, for that i suggest to add a friend page / favorite page where you can save users, and they records of the learderboard. Thanks anyweys! ^^

Developer

An easier way to find your friends on the leaderboard is definitely planned!

Maybe also some form of custom leaderboards so you could create a leaderboard for your school for example

:DDD!!!

you could share your save code with you friend and then beat each others pbs

i do, but its a bit uncomfortable doing that. Thanks anyweys ^^

I feel that, if possible, the import codes, especially for big maps, should be compacted somehow. The code to my city map is too long and I just wish it was smaller. 


Also I think that there should be props, such as stands, street cars and trucks that could add obstacle, lap counters and etc. 


Kodub please take these thing into consideration thank you.

PPLEEEAAASSEEEEEEEE MAKE A WAY OF SHARING TRACKS IN GAME!!!!!!

Make like a “player created tracks” page where you can share and look at other people’s tracks and rate them (by difficulty and how well made they are) .

Like in geometry dash



AND PLS ADD BOOSTER PADS

Also update the summer one track because it’s insanely bad

Developer

What about it do you dislike?

I’m sure others have complained about it in this community thingy

After the first turn there is an unexpected drop which causes you to restart the first attempt of playing the game.

The part just after (before the second checkpoint) flows well

After that, the 180 turn causes you to loose a lot of speed

The the next 90 degree turn is hard to get perfect and you end up loosing even more speed

Then the last part looks really bad

Developer

In game track sharing is coming, but slowly since it's a pretty massive feature

(+1)

Add motion blur. I want to feel that speedy formula race car.

(+1)

I think it would be nice if you were able to select everything in the editor and shift it up/down/left/right so that people don't need to delete the entire section just so they can fix one small part.

also add custom objects

Developer

Copy-pasting is definitely something that is coming at some point!

Deleted 3 days ago

Agree!

I've noticed a few notable issues 😅:

1. Also the turning ( using on-screen controls ) doesn't work half the time, specifically with the left button ( or right if controls are flipped ). It seems to have this "cooldown" before I can press it again.

2. On PC, there seems to be some random but somewhat short lag spikes ( although particles still animate in-place ), atleast I noticed that when updating from 0.4.x to what I believe is currently 0.5.x

3. The game for some reason crashes—showing an error message upon completing any level, seemingly when offline :/ , Atleast on mobile.

4. I've seen this pointed out already however the game does seem to have some notorious performance issues in large maps ( especially the community ones ) so it'd be nice if it were further optimized.


Hope this helps :3

Developer

1. What browsers and device is this on?

2. This happens when the game is CPU limited. In this case lowering the graphics will not help and there isn't really much that can be done.

3. Is this in the Android app? I think it's the same issue as mentioned below

4. The next major update will contain some pretty big CPU performance optimizations, but this won't help in cases when you are GPU limited. I think large tracks might be more GPU limited so it might be harder to optimize.

1. I was playing on the native Android build, Redmi 13C ( Android 15 )

2. Likely has to do with my aging 2011 hardware

3. Yes It's on the Android app specifically, I haven't been able to reproduce the issue on the PC build ( Linux )

when is the next update 

Developer

I'm aiming to release the next major update sometime around March next year

I recently tried to get a track, but it wasn't able to import because it's from v4 of the game. I'd like a track code converter or so to enable people to play literally every track made before a month or two ago. All of those tracks are now unplayable for anyone who never had them. :(


Although if someone does have an old track, they gould get the code for it via that button and post it to recover it :/

Developer

No, all tracks from older versions are compatible so this should already work.

Check if the track code was copied correctly!

seems to be correct. It's the first code from here, and I think I tried some other one before.

fails on the original sludge works from the very beginning, too. :/ at least on Firefox. (Although I don't think that should have any effect)

Actually, even new codes don't work if they're too large, although I can reload and overwrite large tracks. Perhaps my cache is full :/

Developer (1 edit)

There is limited storage space in browsers, so most likely you're out of space!

Try removing some tracks and see if that helps

will do :)

On Android, the game crashes everytime it writes new record.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toString')
Source: https://localhost/main.bundle.js
Line: 17
Column: 932256

SFMBE

Developer

I have a fix for this already! It'll probably come with the next update

I can’t find a way to access previous versions of the game, as i wanted to play a track that only works on version 4, do you have those?

Same here!

Developer

You can play older versions of the game here on my website:
https://www.kodub.com/apps/polytrack/0.1.1
https://www.kodub.com/apps/polytrack/0.2.0
https://www.kodub.com/apps/polytrack/0.3.1
https://www.kodub.com/apps/polytrack/0.4.2

Cool seeing how it evolved

I Downloaded polytrack on my phone, but I cant move my car with the buttons

Developer

The Android .apk version?

Do other buttons work? Does the editor work for example?

Would it be possible to eventually get tilt controls on mobile?

Developer

There are no analog controls in the game currently, but this should be possible after controller support is added!

But I wonder if it would be precise enough?

hey so on polytrack 0.51 it is almost unplayable on m1 mac or any mac in genral the only way i can play it in school is to download it to mac and when i do that is becomes increadably laggy and will just stutter so bad ive messed with the settings all i can next im going to try to downlaod older versions to see if any of those work back before it was blocked it ran great in my web browser but not it bacicaly wont run at all i love this game and love to compeat with my friends in it i just wish there was some way to fix this 

Developer

Do I understand correctly that it used to run fine in the browser, but now that you're using the downloaded version it runs badly?

Maybe the downloaded version is using software rendering in that case?
I'm not sure what could be causing that though

this is a big bug I’ve come across:

When in the track editor, sometimes it freezes and a copy thingy pops up in the top left corner of my screen

I’ll send u a screenshot if it does happen

I’m playing on mobile, on the itch io website

also, I’m not able to exit of save my work, so I end up loosing a lot

Clicking copy doesn’t work either

Another thing, what will be in the new update?

Developer

What device and browser?

This copy thing sounds like something browser specific

hey dev! I was really curious to play your game, read some reviews and thought of trying it out but after downloading the apk and then running it, it showed this screen. Any fix :√

Developer

It looks like the webview on your phone is very old!

See if you can update your webview somehow. It may also help with problems in other apps too!

oh well how do i do that? from playstore or from downloading an apk of the system webview.

Developer

I don't know. Usually it should update automatically. Check if you can update it in the PlayStore!

Ocean theme tracks and night mode, with light sources would be cool

Developer

Placeable light sources won't be possible without preventing people on low-end devices from playing the game.
Night time might still come if I can get it to look good with just the light from the moon, but we'll see!

Tell me more about what you had in mind with the ocean theme tracks!

boosters pls

Developer

Boosters might come, but recently I've been leaning more towards not implementing them since I want to keep the game simple.

Either way it's not going to be a priority for a while!

(1 edit)

One thing that would be really helpful is being able to see the replay of your most recent run even if it isn't a PR. Sometimes I get a crazy shortcut and want to show my friends but don't have any video to send :/ I'm not asking for a replay code system (obvious cheating problems associated), just for a way to watch back like a normal replay so I can record it with my phone 😅. Also, I don't know how the framework for map/leaderboard database works but I think it would be really cool if I could click on somebody's profile and see all of their times on their played maps, and maybe even a list maps they have created. I know that the current system doesn't even support searching for maps that you have not explicitly imported already, so this suggestion may not be viable. I'm just putting it out there. Thanks! :)

Developer

I want to implement a feature where you can export replays(even non-finished replays) as an code similar to track codes, which you can then send to your friends for them to watch.

As for seeing someone else's times, it might be possible, but if you'd like to see the position on the leaderboard as well it would put quite a lot of pressure on the leaderboard servers. We'll see!

Kodub can you make the track parts a little wider for smoother drifting? Also can you make more dynamic track angles? Like a roll pitch yaw advanced selector for each track piece? This would make it better for tech mapping. Thx.

Developer

The current track parts probably won't be changed, but new wider track parts could be added.

Dynamic track parts are not planned for now

Here are some ideas that I think would be great to add into the game:
Hi Kodub, I really love your game polytrack. As I see the game, this is a way to have something similar to trackmania on any device (including my laggy & terrible computer) and enjoy racing online without needing the computer that is strong enough to handle trackmania. I have some suggestions - major and minor ones that I think will go very far in improving your game. (Sorry if I'm being a bit blunt in advance!)
1. I think that you should make the track parts a bit wider. By track parts, I mean the parts with a red and white curb and black border. I've been experimenting, and I think that the track parts (straight track parts) should be around 1 - 1.5 quarters of a full tile bigger (as in 4x4 tile that looks like its made out of cubes when you place parts in the editor). You might say - well, Coco, you can just set the grid to extra dense in the editor and then put half track pieces overlapping, but the thing is, its hard to do turns, and the overlap causes lots of lag...
2. I think the freedom with the "tech" style of mapping is a bit lacking in your current game. Part of the joy of tech is the angles of the pieces for flow and variety (and ease of drifting). I would suggest adding a 25 - 30 degree angle slant for each piece, not only the straight ones (which polytrack already has), but curves and turns and bends and stuff too. This would allow drifting and mapping variety to be better.
3. I think if you could add some scenery items, just a simple tree, or if you want bigger, a huge metal curve (just ideas) to make scenery easier to create, it would go a long way with the community, who loves their scenery.
4. Maybe add banked curves? I've been trying to make these in the editor, and the only banked turn I found was a 90 degree high curve that turned 90 degrees. Specialized pieces that allow you to make banked curves would be great.
5. Maybe add different turning angles? The current turn pieces only allow 90 degree turns. Having something like a 45 degree turn would be amazing.
6. I think this could really be great: add an evening or cloudy mood to the game. For the evening, It would be cool if we could choose our own light sources.
These are my top 6 recommendations for your game. I think at least some of these should not be too hard to implement. It would be amazing if you could do these. Again, thank you very much for reading this.

custom objects would be great as well

Developer
  1. See my answer above!
  2. I'm always adding more parts. As for new slopes, I'd probably add 45 degree slopes first.
  3. Trees is something I'm experimenting with and would like to add within the next few updates! Also terrain editing to go with it!
  4. Banked curves are coming with the next update! (0.6.0)
  5. No diagonal track parts are planned for now, but might come at a later point.
  6. Light sources won't be possible. See my other answers earlier!

Things like 45 degree slopes and banked curves would be great, but things like trees and a trees in editor I think yup would just ruin the Polytrack style and a select tool that allows you to move, delete and save as a custom object would be sooooo helpful and would reduce the time to make maps. Especially ones with things like trees or houses.

there’s a cut on the community track mos epsa

Developer

Community tracks can't be changed until the next major update (0.6.0)

what’s coming in the new update?

I believe the next update will be multiplayer focused, although I am not exactly sure of what is to come. The game physics will change and the leaderboards will be wiped, so whatever take you have on that, watch out for kacky, press forward, or any other outlandish 0.5 physics utilising tracks that may not work carried over in 0.6! I personally am looking forward to the new start that will come with the physics change! 

I'm sure Kodub will be able to provide a more specific and detailed list of what is to come!

I’m happy the Outland physics is going because it was effecting my track that was only 3000 blocks high and was kinda annoying 

there's a cut on the community track fractured shores

Developer

Where?

I will DM you on Discord!

When do you expect the next update to release?

I believe Kodub said March 2026 but anyone please correct me if I am wrong!

Please add these Kodub (idk if this counts as "dynamic" or not)

1 tilted track pieces

2 transition from tilted to flat track pieces

3 banked curves (track)

4 tilted to upwards sloping turns (track)

5 tilted to downwards sloping turns (track)

6 track turns that rise during the turn

7 flat to sloping up track turns

8 (not shown) flat to sloping down track turns
