Planes, Trains, Automobiles…

…that’s what it’s all about in the latest Steam Fest celebration and whenever vehicles are mentioned, we’ll be there.

The Planes and the Automobiles are covered by Airborne and Motorhead respectively which are 50% and 25% off until September 23.

We don’t really have a Train update but your imagination is the limit in Trailmakers and we won’t tell you what to use the parts for.

Hello Motorheads!

We're back with another hotfix as we prepare to move our entire focus over to what comes next (2.0?!). Thank you to everyone who has reported issues they have encountered, thanks to that info we have been able to address a chunk of things we wanted to have fixed sooner rather than later!

• Fixed duplicating a Seat giving Input to previously unbound blocks.
  
• Fixed MultiSeat Structures that contain unbound blocks are incorrectly gaining Bindings when spawned in. If you have a structure that gained this issue since the previous patch, it should be fixable by deleting the secondary seat, and duplicating the Main Seat again.
  
• Fixed a case when the Input of Comparators is 0 they never send an input, even if they are set to check for input 0.
  
• Fixed Logic Blocks to ignore input if delayed or paused, but keep running their logic.
  
• Fixed summing Inputs directly into Comparision Gates when comparator = 0 not working.
  
• Fixed an Oh No that would occur if a Blueprint/Structure had a lot of data associated with it.
  
• Fixed some structure damage job logic to mitigate against some Oh No's and added some additional logging info in cases where it still happens.
  
• Localization fixes.

Thank you for your patience whilst we worked on this slightly more sizeable hotfix. If you continue to see issues, please let us know. The best place to do this is on our Discord at discord.gg/trailmakers

Space Exploration has never been cheaper.

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/2579530/Trailmakers_Space_Voyager_Pack/

Last year we took Trailmakers to the final frontier with the largest map ever released in our game. In addition to the Space Sector we also released the Space Voyager Pack for those wanting to add-on to their cosmic experience.

A large space thruster, a slick cockpit, outfits worthy of intergalactic first impressions, and much more. The Space Voyager Pack has not really seen a big discount since but that changes now.

And what more appropriate time to make the pack more accessible than in celebration of the Steam Space Exploration Fest. So enjoy the Space Voyager Pack at a historically low price.

See you among the stars, Trailmaker! 🖖

Hello Motorheads!

We are releasing another small hotfix for 1.9 with a number of fixes, most importantly for an Oh No crash that would occur under certain circumstances.
 

• Fix for Host Oh No if a client joins when a lot of logic events are happening.
  
• Duration not working on Comparator Logic Block without pause.
  
• Italian Localisation Fixes.
  
• Fixed Inventory Rotation on 4x4x1 Wedge.
  
• Fixed Spawn Rotation on 3x3x1 Wedge.

A patch for the Console versions of Trailmakers containing these fixes and the fixes from Hotfix 1 and 2 are going through the console certification process and we aim to release them by end of this week.

Hello Motorheads!

We have just pushed a second hotfix live which addresses a couple more issues we became aware of thanks to your reports after launch.

• Fix for Input switching between Keyboard and Mouse and Controller breaking in second session onwards.
  
• Fix for Accumulator not correctly clamping values.
  
• Fix for colour change on Firework not affecting the Particles until a respawn.

This fix and the previous hotfix contents are planned to come to the console versions of the game shortly.

We just released what many have called the best update ever so it would only make sense to make the game dirt cheap now so everyone can see what it’s all about.

Therefore we are throwing Trailmakers and its DLCs into Steam’s Midweek Deal - and it is bloody mad.

80% off the base game and up to 50% off on DLCs. So if you have a friend you would like to introduce to the wonderful world of physics-based engineering, now is the time!

Hello Motorheads!

Thank you so much for the warm reception to the Pedal to the Metal and Motorhead DLC launch yesterday! We have loved seeing your creations and reactions to the content!

We have a small hotfix which address a handful of high priority issues we wanted to get out as soon as possible. A console release of these fixes will arrive a bit later since we need to go through the Certification process there.

Fixes

• Fix for repairing structures with many Passenger Seats not repairing full structure.
  
• Fix for NullRef spam after a seat with many structures explodes.
  
• Fix for input not correctly being set to NOR gates after player has sat in a Passenger Seat.
  
• Fix for Input Bindings not correctly being displayed on all rotation gizmos.
  
• Fix for Accumulator ignoring Minimum Value until input is given.
  
• Fix for Motorhead Decal Thumbnail showing the old Headlight.
  
• Fix for Set as Default Skin/Colour button not working correctly with Controller.

Thank you for your continued support!

It’s update day and what an update it is!

First off we have Motorhead Pack - the fastest, slickets, most long-hair-don’t-care DLC to date. Named as an homage to car, motorcycle and truck enthusiasts around the world.

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/3009870/Trailmakers_Motorhead_Pack/

Our little game sure has come a long way since the template car from Stranded. The diversity in building has increased exponentially - and with Motorhead Pack they are about to look cooler than ever.

Hoods, spoilers, pop-up lights, wheel wells, livery decals, and so much more in this all-in-one racing pack that is guaranteed to elevate your game to previously unheard of levels!

In case you missed it, watch the DLC trailer her to get a grasp of all the extremely good looking blocks, decals, and outfits: https://youtu.be/ljkIv4uL_XU?si=UKY2cgfD3SMa1Kyc

Available now here!


The free 1.9 “Pedal to the Medal” update is of course also available now and it brings heaps of new opportunities in terms of both logic and design. Windshields, brackets, and a bunch of new rounded wedge corners are sure to help you shape the vehicles just the way you want. To top it off we got no less than 7 (!) new logic blocks for you to nerd-out with including the highly praised Accumulator Block that’s gonna save you a ton of complexity.

Watch ScrapMan showcase some of the new logic blocks ability when he tried to recreate the bus from the 1994 film Speed:

…or this construction by our tester Lukkram that show how many logic blocks were needed to make a counter pre-1.9 (right side) and how many will be needed after the update (left side):

As showcased by Yzuei in the video below you can now simulate fuel consumption:

…or use the new light panels to make interchangeable camo on the fly, as shown here by Whemplar:

But as always we’ll let you decide how these things are supposed to be used. We hope you love this update as much as we have loved making it for you.

Stay tuned for the next update. It’s a big one. 🤫
