Our friends at Thera Bytes are now also working on a title that uses OSM Data!

24 Apr

Our friends at Thera Bytes are now also working on a title that uses OpenStreetMap data similar to ours, but with an agricultural theme.

https://youtu.be/iC06_84-zow

In this farm simulation, you manage the world and, thanks to the support of OpenStreetMap, you can build your farm in exotic locations or even directly in your hometown.
Watch out! Your choice of location influences real parameters for agricultural values.

Break ground, plant crops according to the seasons and local weather conditions, earn money, buy better equipment and expand your farm!

You can find all information here: https://links.aerosoft.com/GlobalFarmer

We would be happy if you support them and add Global Farmer to your wish list.
You are also welcome to join the Discord[discord.gg] and take part in the development process.

Content Update 8: Map updates, break room, performance improvements

28 Mar

The new Content Update 8 is now available!
You can look forward to many new features, improvements and optimisations.
Check out the changelog below:

Highlights:

Map data updated to February 2024 and preparation for future regular map updates
Extensive enhancements, improvements and bug fixes to the map loading system
Break room with new objects added where employees can relax
Significantly reduced office space required per employee, and now also taking into account the area of the office, kitchen, bathroom and break room
Performance improvements
Savegame size greatly reduced, which also fixes problems with the Steam Cloud (old savegames need to be saved once)
Fleet number is now displayed for allocated bus parking spaces if set
The shift schedule now shows how many missed assignments there are for that day
Fixed a bug where some buses could not be used after a recall event in rare cases
Many bug fixes and improvements in the E-Bus & Green Energy DLC

Map:

Update of the map data to February 2024
New delivery of map data: The map data is now no longer supplied via Steam, instead the required tiles are downloaded when starting a new game. This means that all regions no longer require a lump sum of 50GB of hard drive space, but only a few MB per city.
Offline use: Once downloaded, cities are also available offline. In addition, the most popular cities are included so that a new game can always be started even without the Internet.
Acceleration of loading time by providing cache data: The cached map data, which enables a map to be loaded in the shortest possible time, will now be made available to all players on our cache server. This means that if a city has already been loaded once by a player, the cache data will then be downloaded directly for all players, which greatly speeds up loading times for a new game.
Data saving mode: If you have poor internet or limited data volume, you can activate this setting so that only the smaller OpenStreetMap raw data is downloaded and the new cache is not used.
Larger maps: The individual tiles are now approx. 4 times larger. For existing savegames, the old tile format is converted to the new one, so that the playing area is slightly larger. There are now 10 large instead of 20 small tile extensions possible, which significantly increases the total possible area.
Map versioning per savegame: Existing savegames can either continue to be played with the old map version or be updated to the latest map version.
Regular map updates in the future: By optimising our entire provisioning process, we will be able to offer map updates at regular intervals in the future.
Loading stability improvements: The loading process has been fundamentally revised so that it has been fixed that the game could hang during loading (often at tile 24/49)
New countries / regions: Lesser Antilles, La Réunion, Puerto Rico, Cayman Islands, Macao
Fixed problems when loading island regions (e.g. Tenerife)
Fixed green stripes on the map
Transitions between previous region packs (e.g. Switzerland-Italy, Denmark-Sweden) are now possible without any problems
Fixed a bug where water areas were sometimes not displayed on maps (e.g. in Gothenburg)
Fixed a bug that caused some characters to be displayed incorrectly after reloading a map

Performance:

Improved performance on the map through fundamental changes to the rendering system
Fixed lags when zooming on maps with a large number of stops
Improved performance through fundamental optimisations to the employee and bus system
Improved performance with a high number of bus routes

Flu epidemic event now occurs less frequently
Fixed a bug where rail replacement orders sometimes never ended

Notes:

News about the OpenStreetMap map update

15 Feb

As already announced, we will be updating the map data in the next update. The data comes from OpenStreetMap and many users from the community have already improved and expanded the data on the open platform. We would like to inform those who are still working on changes that all changes made by the 18th of February will be included in the CBM map update. So if you still have open changes, you can save them until Sunday.

The update is planned for March and, in addition to the new map data, will also include fundamental technical changes to the map system, which will bring several advantages. More details will be announced in March 🙂

Other new features:

Performance improvements for Apple ARM processors

Improved performance with high number of service centre customers
Performance in the paint shop significantly improved
Performance in external depots significantly improved

Balancing:

Fundamental adjustment to the passenger volume: Normally, with a higher interval, passengers are distributed over the additional tours, which should reduce the number of passengers per tour. Due to an error, this has not been the case for some time and passenger numbers have risen sharply when the interval has been increased. We have now corrected this. To prevent passenger numbers from falling too sharply, we have increased the general passenger numbers to compensate. Please give us feedback on the adjustment and we will make further adjustments if necessary.

Buses:

Fixed bug where not all buses were displayed in the list of defective buses
Fixed a bug where buses could get stuck in the ground in rare cases when being repaired
