- Update 0.2.2 - 10 July 2026
Thank you for playing Station Master RPG!The biggest change in this update is the rewrite of the ground rendering system, which should reduce passive resource consumption. Older savegames get updated when loading them, which may cause the game to freeze for a few seconds. Also, the new ground chunks are a bit offset to the previous system, which may cause some unwanted holes in the ground to appear. Send your savegame to [email protected] in case anything goes wrong after the update.Things that have changed in this update:Improved camera features (like free camera in play mode)Added a button to hide the UI for better screenshotsAdded a roadmap view to the game menuAdded an icon indicating when a staircase is not yet connected to the floorRewrite of the ground rendering systemIf you stumble across any problem with the game, make sure to report it in the Steam Community secti…

- Update 0.1.8 - 12 October 2025
Thank you for playing Station Master RPG!This update took a bit longer since I have been ill for the last three weeks (yes, weeks). However, I'm slowly recovering now and am therefore able to publish this update. Here's what's new:Completely rewritten the character rendering code, which should bring a huge performance improvement (Please note that loading an old savegame will take a few minutes (about 5 to 15, depending on the amount of passengers) because the game has to convert all passengers to the new structure)Removed passengers from the minimap, which should also help with performance (May be re-added in a future update)Temporarily removed the side walls of ground holes for another performance boost (which means that one can see through the ground there). This is a stop-gap measure until I get to rewrite the ground hole system.That's it for this update!If you stumble across any pr…

So, make sure to place the floor first and then add the stairs.That's it for this update!If you stumble across any problem with the game, make sure to report…
