Developer Log 8 - Company Reports

May 2

Hello everyone!

We’re back with another blog today and we’d like to showcase a small but crucial new addition to Railroad Corporation 2: Company Reports!

Company reports offer a comprehensive overview of your corporation's performance. Let's delve into each tab of the reports section to understand their significance.

Overview

Starting with the Overview Tab, this tab serves as the control hub for your corporation. It presents key information at a glance, including your current cash reserves and outstanding debt. You'll also find a summary of your property holdings, such as buildings and locomotives, essential assets for expanding your operations. Additionally, the overview tab offers insights into the extent of your railway network, showcasing the mileage of tracks you've laid out. Furthermore, you'll have access to details about the manager you've hired, including their specialty and costs.

Balance Sheet

In the Balance Sheet tab, you'll dive deeper into the financial health of your corporation. It provides a breakdown of your assets and liabilities, allowing you to assess your company's overall worth. By comparing year-to-date figures with historical data, you can track the trajectory of your financial standing and identify trends that may impact your strategic decisions.

Profit and Loss

The Profit and Loss tab is where you monitor the financial performance of your corporation in detail. It records your revenue from various sources, including raw material purchases and sales, and transportation income. Simultaneously, it tracks your expenditures, such as operating costs, maintenance expenses, and employee wages. By analyzing these figures over different time frames, you gain a comprehensive understanding of your company's profitability and operational efficiency.

Transaction Log

The Transaction Log tab acts as a ledger, providing a comprehensive record of all your financial transactions. Every purchase and sale within your corporation, from acquiring new locomotives to selling surplus resources, is documented here. The log uses a color-coded system to differentiate between income-generating activities (highlighted in green) and expenses (highlighted in red), enabling you to quickly assess the financial impact of each transaction.

Graphs

In the Graphs tab, you'll find visual representations of your corporation's financial performance. The Net Profit graph illustrates the trend of your profits over time, allowing you to identify periods of growth or decline.

Meanwhile, the Asset Balance graph tracks the total value of your company's assets, providing insights into your wealth accumulation and asset allocation strategies. These graphs offer intuitive visualizations that complement the detailed numerical data presented in other sections of the Company Reports.

That concludes today's update! We hope you find these company reports valuable as you step into the world of Railroad Corporation 2. Let us know what you think about this update on Steam’s Discussion Board, or Discord, and stay tuned for more updates!

Thank you for your ongoing support and enthusiasm!

Developer Log 7 - Implementing New Special View Modes

Mar 14

Hello everyone!

In this developer log, we're excited to introduce one of the new features that were inspired by your community feedback: Special View Modes!

This feature will bring you enhanced tools to keep an overview and organise your railroad tracks effortlessly. This will let you pinpoint exact areas where on your tracks still require electrification, as well as identify areas for track optimization with greater ease.

Electrification View

During the Alpha Demo, we noticed that some players had encountered some challenges when attempting to electrify entire railroad networks. In response, we've developed a special view mode specifically tailored to help players identify segments of the track that have not yet been electrified. So, in case you’ve missed a certain segment of the track, the electrification view will have your back.

Railroad track with a small segment without electricity.

Blue highlights the electrified railroad track, while red highlights railroad tracks without electricity.

Moreover, we’ve added in a new status for electrical locomotives: they will now be able to alert you when it cannot reach its destination because there isn't a fully electrified path available.

Height View

In addition to this electrification view mode, a special height mode has been implemented. This makes it easier to check elevation on your railroad layout and see where a slope or a drop have been created.

Tracks highlighted in green denote ground-level tracks, while blue tracks signify those below ground level. Yellow tracks indicate the first level above ground, while red indicates the second level above ground, which is the highest level within Railroad Corporation 2. So, if your train seems to be moving unusually slowly, you can use the height view to see if the train’s slowness is caused by a change in elevation.

And that concludes our update for today! We're making steady progress on Railroad Corporation 2, and we're eager to share more of the game with you soon! For those who missed the alpha demo, don't worry – there will be another opportunity for you to try it out later.

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm, let us know what you think on Steam’s Discussion Board, or in Discord[discord.gg], and stay tuned for more updates!

Outdated economy system

Railroad Corporation 2 (and probably the first game as well) fails for me with its economic system. I've seen this same problem with other similar games in recent years (Railway Empire for example). Overall the game just produces different types of cargo in amount X and you can choose were to deliver it. The game just pays out money based on how far you let the cargo travel. This aspect already somewhat annoyed me in T-Fever series (Train Fever, Transport Fever) where I can just pick up wood, raw oil and...
