Valkyrie's been pulling smuggling jobs for years, but she didn't take this one for the money. Still, someone's got to pay...

First of all, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💜 Without you, our little project wouldn’t be possible. You supported us in the pre-alpha stage, you support us now with the Early Access, and we hope to see you later with the full release in the coming years.

Thank you! And we really mean it.

Of course, the development is nowhere stops with the Early Acess release, and we’re already working on the next update.

In the meantime, we’ve been a bit overwhelmed with the amount of feedback that poured on us on every channel, from Discord to Steam Discussions. It was literally impossible for us to answer every question and suggestion, so we decided to compile the most frequent issues into one FAQ, which you can read below.

We also want to thank anyone who spent their time answering questions and helping people here and there. Special thanks go to scailman, refreshfr, Elvis Cooper, and UGH Dany.


No, you don’t need to buy the game twice, it’s already yours. Follow this instruction to claim your Steam key.

Check the Troubleshooting page.

The best place to get help is our official Discord server. In the meantime, you can check the community guides.

• Leave a review. We are getting many nice words about the game on mail, Discord, etc. We encourage you to leave reviews on Steam if you didn’t yet, it helps a lot!
• Answer questions. Help other people on Discord, Steam Discussions, etc.
• Write guides on Steam. If you are pretty familiar with the game, your insight knowledge may be very helpful for newcomers.
• Proofread and improve translations. To do so, join our Discord, then go to our translation portal and suggest changes. You can even translate to a completely new language. If you need help, use #translation channel.
• Spread the word. Tell your friends that could be interested in the game. If you’re a content creator and want to request a press key, please fill out the form on this page.

The game is developed by just two guys. But we can’t fail to mention the important role of our community volunteers helping us with content for the game, translations, moderations, writing guides, and more!

Please take a look at our roadmap to get the idea of what major features are planned and in what order we plan to implement them.

Sure! We’ll set up a beta branch on Steam soon, so everyone interested can receive future updates early and give us immediate feedback.

• Bug tracker
• Suggestion tracker

Before posting, please check the roadmap if the feature you want to suggest already planned and check on GitHub if it’s already posted.


We feel you! The current system - which is responsible for roads, rails, bridges, conveyors, etc - was originally introduced in the early days of the pre-alpha, and it was 3rd attempt on building tracks already from the moment development begins.

While it was time-proven as a working solution for handling most of the tasks, it obviously has its limitations and can be cumbersome to use at times.

To address that, we are working on a new system, that eventually will replace the current one. Not only it should make building a much more pleasant experience, but introduce many new interesting features, like so:

• Level crossings
• Customizable curvature of tracks
• Left-hand traffic
• Diagonal roads
• One-way roads
• Horizontally curved bridges and tunnels
• Planning mode
• Support for blueprints
• Performance optimizations

and more.

See the answer above.

Signals are battle-tested for a couple of years already, so we are pretty confident there are no major bugs. The Voxel Tycoon using an implementation called block signals, which may the source of confusion for players who are more familiar with other implementations.

There’re two common issues that unprepared player might face:

• A train can’t find the way to its destination. Usually, this caused by a one-way signal facing the opposite direction. You should have a second signal on the opposite side of the rail if you want to allow a train to pass the track in both directions.
• A signal is red, even that it seems there’s no other train blocking the way. Usually, this happens when two parallel rails built too close to each other. Even if they do not intersect visually, the system detects a possible collision and blocks a train from passing. This behavior will be improved with the track system upgrade described above.

Learn more on how signals work and how to build advanced designs:

• Basic Signaling guide
• Signals wiki article
• Video tutorial
• Another video tutorial

Also, don’t hesistate to ask for help on the Discord.

While the current system is fully functional, it has some limitation, and we’ll continue to explore this area in the future and see if we can bring even more flexible ways to control the flow of your trains.

This will be worked on after the track system rework described earlier.

Not even close! We have plans for a lot of new gameplay mechanics that will greatly diversify the gameplay. Please check our roadmap.

Yes, we have plans for that.

Sure! Go to edit schedule mode, then click on the icon on the left of the route name.

Check these posts:

• A new way to set up a schedule
• Passengers

There’s no separate creative mode at the moment, but you can use some cheats if you just want to play with all available stuff right now, ignoring game rules.

To activate cheats, press Ctrl+Alt+C while in-game (not the main menu). The game will ask you if you really want to do that.

After the cheats activated there’re some secret menus will be added here and there, for example:

• Right-click on the money indicator at the bottom left corner and set any amount of money you need
• Right-click on the research button at the bottom right corner to unlock all research
• Right-click on the research name on the left of the research tree window to unlock any specific research
• Right-click on the button at the bottom of the warehouse window to fill the storage with selected items
• Right-click on the vehicle unit card in the Details tab of the Vehicle window to fill the unit with selected items

We plan to add the proper creative mode in future updates.

No timeframe at this point, this is a pretty major task that is at its early stages currently. We’d say don’t expect it arrives this year. If you’re looking exclusively for a multiplayer experience, we advise you to hold your purchase until it will be implemented.

If you have any more questions, feel free to join our Discord and ask them there!

Tim Bergling, known by his stage name AVICII, was a Superstar DJ whose tragic death deeply affected millions of people throughout the world.

On the anniversary of Avicii's tragic passing, it is imperative that we continue to highlight the plight of those with lived experience of mental illness and suicide. On Tuesday 20th April, 2021, Wired Productions and developers Hello There Games will be donating 100% net receipts across all platforms to the Tim Bergling Foundation.



Its work includes supporting science-based organizations engaged in preventative actions against mental illness and suicide, particularly in young people.

Additionally - from the 20th of April until May the 4th, Avicii Invector will be available for 30% off on Nintendo Switch

We'll be having a special Live Stream tomorrow at 4.30pm BST on the Avicii Invector Steam page - join us, and let's be a little less lonely together.

About The Tim Bergling Foundation :

The Tim Bergling Foundation was created by Klas and Anki Bergling and their family after the death of their son Tim Bergling, also known as AVICII. Their mission is to advocate for the recognition of suicide as a global health emergency and promote removing the stigma attached to the discussion of mental health issues.

The Foundation supports science-based organizations engaged in preventative actions against mental illness and suicide, particularly in young people. As well as seeking to support aid work in areas where Tim also had passion such as climate change, global hunger and the preservation of wildlife and endangered species
