Omg super

[ScottyWired]

good heavens

[rojcowles]

Ooooh, even above the new gameplay angles the look of bases with elevated rails could be amazing.

[CureSafaia]

The most frustrating thing about the new FFFs is having to wait so long to try the features out.

[Jan5366x]

Omg yeeeeeeeeeeessssssss

[matjojo]

This is going to make my rails so much worse haha. So excited for this.

[Cordylus]

This is the true meaning of the HYPE TRAIN!

[Feather]

Imagine releasing/showcasing content when you actually have something interesting to show for the community instead of being forced to churn out scheduled content updates, what a crazy idea. Take my money already.

I have a couple of questions
Can the player enter/exit the train when it's elevated or walk on the elevated tracks?
And can elevated trains collide with anything? like a spidertron for example

[Nosferatu]

Very nice.
How many "mods" are in that Expansion Pack?

[EvanT]

Yes! Oh YES! - Oh no that will be available in about a year! - Nevermind! - Hell YES!

[pointa2b]

This is huge.

[Flixerine]

Getting serious Rollercoaster Tycoon vibes from the looks.

Great job guys, STFU and take my money! Few questions:
1.) Is it a free 2.0 feature or expansion only? (I will get it either way )
2.) Can you walk on elevated rails?
3.) Can you make train stops evelated, even though you can't (un)load anything? F.e. for parking purposes
4.) What happens when a rail support gets destroyed? Do all the supported elevated rails get destroyed too?
5.) Can spitters target elevated entities? How do biters behave?

Can't wait to do build train highways in the middle of spaghetti factory <3

I feel the wildest thing is that these new mods (planets, quality, rail bridges) are mods and could be monetized much better by being sold as standalone expansions like with the sims.

[BlackAsLight]

Can we walk on the bridges?

[ema]

I've been looking forward to play the expansion in a year, but now I'm desperately lusting for the expansion and can't wait for it to be released.

[FritzHugo3]

Verry great (not optical my but other skins will be come over mods i thing).

And know vertical building

[FasterJump]

They did not know it was impossible, so they did it.

1.) Is it a free 2.0 feature or expansion only? (I will get it either way )

It's stated in the FFF that it's only in the DLC but it's in an separate mod so if you have the DLC you can play the old vanilla with only the elevated trains added if you want.
