Let me know when the Tutorial actually works

[Mayveena]

If someone has gotten it to work, I'd love to hear from you. The instruction to click on the charcoal camp and then 'the train' doesn't tell you which train and if you try both trains then it still doesn't work. So I'm refunding until someone let's me know that the tutorial actually works.

the train that takes the wood to the charcoal camp needs to have a route set up as follows. Wood camp (load train with wood) to charcoal camp(unload train of wood), then click charcoal camp again(load train with charcoal) to the town(unload train of charcoal).

I tried that, couldn't get a click to finish. Thanks for your help.

If you want a detailed walk through of the steps, let me know. This is a pretty great game once you figure out the UI.

And yes, I knocked out the tutorial pretty quickly--it's pretty much the same as the demo that used to be available.

I am stuck on 2nd map of tutorial . My coal train will not unload even though set. Same thing happened four times . On my fifth try the buy a train button is missing so cannot play the game at all now . Very dissapointing.

Coal trains will only unload at a station that takes coal. So, you were likely at a non-coal consuming station. Doing the same thing wrong 4 times isn't gonna magically make it right.

[DragonIV]

To explain further, each step of a train's route (which you set) consists of a location, a cargo and an action. So, when setting up a basic coal train, let's say to a mill that wants both coal and iron, you take the train you just bought and set up the route by clicking on the first station (this will be the coal source). This will set the first action to load coal. Then you set the second desination at the mill, by default this action is unload. That's it, no more steps, and the train will just move coal from A to B.

If the train is not at A, it may not move to A automatically. If it does that, open the train's route again, and on the destination / action step you want it to go to (load coal at the coal source), there is a Drive There button in the upper right of that box. Click that and the train will drive there and load coal.

[andy.conway]

No it must be a bug as it was set up correctly. the train just would not unload the coal even though the destination station was set to receive the coal, hence me trying four times. On the fifth the game was unplayable as the BUY a train button was no longer there and had completely disappeared.

Hello there!

Thank you for your feedback. Based on that we're currently preparing an update for our tutorials.

[Mayveena]

Thank you very much. I highly recommend blind testing to be sure that it's clear what to do. With tutorials especially, when an experienced player tests them they can unconsciously assume things that people such as myself can't see.

I'm a couple level in and I have no idea what you're saying. Can you explain? I'm super curious, it seems I'm missing a gameplay element...

There is a level where a blockage in the river causes flooding and if you deliver fuel to the nearest city to the blockage it will unblock it. It isn't exactly clear that that is how to do it.
