"Mountain Town"?
Anyone noticed a new region, Mountain Town, in Sandbox? (Check the map ---> World)

It's showing as locked for me right now - is this because I haven't found the entrance to it, or because nobody has access and it's coming to Sandbox in a later update?

I think its the town in Story, first level, i dont think you can get it in sandbox, its probably a story exclusive, but im not 100% sure

It will probably come to sandbox if its not available somewhere already. Im not exactly sure where its located though in relation to other stuff, only its connected to wherever jerry and the bear were, probably near his cabin or else Will wouldnt have been able to get him there.

There is a new region called "The Broken Railroad". It is connected to Forlorn Muskeg.

No, it's not Broken Railroad. Mountain Town is another region on the sandbox world map with a lock symbol under the name. The place you enter Episode 2 of Wintermute is sealed still in Survival Mode. I don't believe Mountain Town is accessible yet in Survival, though I wish it was. Perhaps the Survival version of it is not finished yet. Perhaps they want more people to play Story Mode instead right now.

Yep, just started exploring it. Maybe theres a connection to Mountain Town in here - it seems likely....

Nope, no way out of Broken Railroad that I can find, other than the way in from Forlorn Muskeg...

Yep, this makes sense - or, if they're being really clever about it, Mountain Town only unlocks when you've been through the Story Mode version - although that still leaves the question of how to get to it (I thought Broken Railroad might have a way through, but after searching that region, it doesn't look like it).

Raphael just confirmed to me on Twitter that Mountain Town isn't accessible in Survival/Sandbox yet.

Ah well. :)

If it's Perseverance Mills, I'd be surprised if it was made available in Survival mode before it was accessible in Story mode, and I'm going to guess that won't be until episodes 4 or 5.

I bet 3 is playing as astrid, end in finding each other, 4 is them meeting up, then playing as one or the other to reach mills, and 5 is a philosophy lecture about survival of the fittest, the human will, and the corruption of "the old world" where we build it up into a new home and decide we like living a simpler life in a frozen wasteland.

So yeah I wouldnt expect Mills to make it into sandbox before ep 4 or 5 either.

Mountain Town is most likely the region with Milton, since the town is described s being in the mountains. thta it is in mountainous terrain is pretty evident, especially when leaving the episode.

If they've added a selection for it to the sandbox menu, then it will eventually be unlocked. Either they want people to have time to experience through the story first, or more likely, with getting story mode ready they didn't have time to get the region sandbox ready.
