First things to do when you join
StepYou spawn on the train with no set objective, so the first few minutes are best spent learning the layout and watching what happens around you. The world outside the windows changes constantly, and things can appear without warning.
- Look around the cabin check inside the locomotive cabin, which has added detailing worth examining.
- Watch the windows new terrain types including snow fields and tunnels scroll past.
- Check for coal the train has a coal car, and coal you find can be used to speed the train up.
- Wait for events the boss train event and other surprises can trigger during a normal ride.
