Description (written by the developer; not a statement by this register)

EXPANDED EDITION HAS RELEASED! Enjoy tons of new graphical changes, tons of new locomotives, a new consist builder, and improved performance! Also known as Needles 2. This layout is model railroad based exactly from Approach Medium's Trainz: A New Era route under the same name. Obviously this means this is not an actual recreation of the Needles Subdivision. This game is set around the mid to late 1990s. However, you can get gamepasses which include modern power such as 4014 and 2000s EMD locomotives. That's about all there is to it. Have fun! Shift+P for Freecam mode.

Growth history is still building. We hold one measurement for this entry. A trend needs at least two, taken days apart — so this will fill in on its own rather than being estimated. We do not publish numbers we have not measured.

Badge funnel

Christmas 2021 Badge · other245 · 0.00% win

Halloween 2021 Badge · other197 · 0.00% win

How many players have ever earned each badge — a proxy for how far players get before they stop. Steep drop-offs mark where a game loses people. Win rate is the past-day share of players who earned it; categories are assigned by a language model from each badge’s own name and description.

Growth

2 measurements spanning 20 days, net -1. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 83–84 and does not start at zero.
