Find workshop maps
You will find the workshop map after subscribing and downloading it in:

steamapps\workshop\content\1124180

You will find this folder at the location of your SteamLibrary, for example in Windows:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1124180

In this folder you will find for every workshop item a folder with a number - inside this folder are usually three files:

  • level.txt
  • preview.png
  • savedMap.bytes

Find your map folder
First you will have to create an empty map in the games level editor. Write down the ID of this level - it will look something like this:

deb8e222-637e-480b-a3c9-8e7eb8daeb72

Afterwards go to the saved games, on Windows you will find them here:

C:\Users\User\AppData\LocalLow\bitrich\Rail Route\community levels

On Linux you will find them here:

/home/user/.config/unity3d/bitrich/Rail Route/community levels/

In this folder you will find a folder named like the level ID you wrote down in the previous step.
Go into this folder and copy the three files from the workshop folder into here.
Fix the level.txt
Now you will need to open the file "level.txt" in your favourite text editor. It will look something like this:

{"GameVersion":"1.10.7","Name":"Foobar","Uuid":"deb8e222-637e-480b-a3c9-8e7eb8daeb72","InitialScore":100000,"ContractsEnabled":true,"ConfirmEachContract":true,"SaveLoadPossible":true,"BuildingEnabled":true,"Endless":true,"HasInventory":false,"ScoringModel":1,"Favorited":false,"PerfectScore":0,"TrainEnterTimeout":0.0,"Difficulty":3,"Trains":0,"Stations":108,"TotalMinutes":0.0,"StoredAsSavedMap":true}

Change the value for "Uuid" to the level id of your level - to the value you copied two steps ago.

Save the file. You are done and can start the game now and edit the map.

What do you mean with that? At least if I locally create a map the level.txt + savedMap.bytes is still created. Or does that change when uploading to the workshop?

Do be aware that the .txt format is no longer the standard, and any level made in the current uses save files instead.
