Time to learn some new traction and become familiar with a new version of an old favourite. The Class 158 and Paxman-powered HST are here! Train Sim World 3: Midland Main Line: Leicester – Derby & Nottingham is out now.

If you’re new to the East Midlands Trains Class 158 and Paxman-powered HST, be sure to read our previous article where we give an overview of the real-world units. You can also learn more about the behind-the-scenes work for this route from Skyhook Games and future UK content that’s on the horizon in our April Roadmap.


Travel between three cities across England’s East Midlands region, all connected by Trent Junction in this ‘Y’ shaped route. Leicester, Derby and Nottingham sit at the end of each section, with a variety of services in place taking passengers between each city.



Arriving in Train Sim World for the first time is the 2-car Class 158 ‘Express Sprinter’ DMU, built in this area at Derby’s Litchurch Lane Works. Joining it is an older variant of an iconic favourite – the Paxman-powered Class 43 HST. These come courtesy of a new operator to the game, East Midlands Trains, with the colourful Stagecoach livery appearing in a setting from around 2019.



Both units are a collaboration between Skyhook Games, Armstrong Powerhouse (providing the sounds for each) and Dovetail Games, with particular focus on ensuring that the audio for each engine can be represented as well as possible. The Class 158 has a working GSM-R, like the Class 323 from Birmingham Cross-City, and the HST’s interior has been remodelled in both the cab and the Mark 3 coaches. This, with the VP185 engine sounds and minor visual differences on the outside, make this a different beast to that featured in Great Western Express.



131 playable services represent passenger trains between all three cities, as well as local Class 158 services from and to some of the intermediate stations along the way. Depot runs to Eastcroft Depot can also be played and there’s a selection of additional service layers featuring rail tours, stock moves and the RHTT for those with some of the following routes and locomotives:
Northern Trans-Pennine
London Commuter
Rail Head Treatment Train
ROG Class 37/7
West Cornwall Steam Railtour

If you’re playing on Steam and don’t yet own some of these previous routes, check out information on our latest Steam Bundles below! Some of the above routes are also currently in the PlayStation and Epic Spring Sales.

You can also read more about the specific services for each of these layers in our previous Midland Main Line article.

In Episode 3 the team talked about Mick McMahon's concept art and it's influence. they also dig into the creation and inspiration of The Last Worker.

Watch the latest episode below:


The Last Worker is a first-person narrative adventure centred around humanity’s struggle in an increasingly automated world, where humans are being replaced by robots. The game combines a hand-crafted art style created in collaboration with comics legend Mick McMahon (Judge Dredd, 2000 AD) and unique, immersive gameplay mechanics, seamlessly interwoven into a narrative game like no other.

The Last Worker delivers an emotional, thought-provoking story filled with rich characters performed by an all-star cast including:

• Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter, Star Trek Discovery)
• Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (The Meg, True Detective)
• Clare-Hope Ashitey (Riviera, Children of Men)
• David Hewlett (The Shape of Water, Oddworld New’n’Tasty)
• Zelda Williams (The Legend of Korra)
• Tommie Earl Jenkins (Death Stranding, Wednesday).
• The Last Worker is scored by Oliver Kraus, known for his collaborations with the likes of Adele, Sia, and Florence and the Machine.

Improvements:

• If emerald staff is equiped no projectiles are displayed in the stats window to indicate that you don't have any projectiles when emerald staff is equipped
  
• SFX adjustments

Balancing:

• Dark Wanderer now has +5 companion damage as base stat
  
• Reduced elite enemy hp to make it easier for weaker builds to catch up and stay above the difficulty curve of the run

Bugfixes:

• Tooltips for each stat in the stats window has been fixed so that you can now get more information on the different stats.
  
• Fixed a crash when entering a map and keybindings have been changed in a way that one action is not set to a key
  
• Fixed a potential crash on player death when timed skill effects end

GENERAL CHANGES:
We are saying goodbye to the Easter Bunny. We will conclude the Easter Event and revert districts to their normal state.

BALANCE CHANGES:

• We moderately decreased the effective and max falloff range of the Colby .45 AP.
  
• We adjusted the STAR's jump modifier from 30 to 10. This adjustment should improve the players' experience while running and gunning with the weapon.
  
• We adjusted the STAR LCR's jump modifier from 13 to 10, keeping in line with the STAR it is based on.
  
• The FAR's jump modifier has been adjusted from 30 to 20. The adjustment places it between the NTEC's and the STAR's.
  
• Mikro and Vaquero (Enforcer / Criminal Compact) car's top speed has been adjusted slightly: from 19.5 to 20.5.
  
• Mikro's reverse speed has been adjusted from 13 to 15, making it equal to the Vaquero's.

KNOWN ISSUES:

• The achievement "Kind of a Big Deal" does not increment if you are already threat level gold and if your character existed after your account achieved the threat level gold.
  
• Stalls can occur upon entering the Clothing Kiosk with "NEW!" items.
  
• In bomb missions, bombs will hit 0 but not count as "exploded" if the player who planted them is removed during a mission.

Go Hog Wild!



In celebration of Earth Day on April 22, from now until April 25 you can unlock the "Hog Wild" nameplate simply by logging into MCC! 🌎

Yendrek is a Carpathian Highlander. He fights with a shepherd's axe, which has many names across Carpathia: Ciupaga, Valaska, Fokos, and is used, even today, in Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Romania and Hungary.



This update is a bit tricky since the axe is not really a "fencing" type of weapon, and it can strike with the blunt part as well as the axe head. It also introduces a new pulling mechanic. Please keep in mind that this is still Early Access, and you may encounter an occasional bug or weird physics behavior - especially with this brand new guy. He still needs some ironing out, but we'll get there!

Have fun!

"Iron Curtain" update will be applied as a regular patch; if Steam doesn't auto-update Regiments to the latest version - just restart Steam, this will force it to look for updates. You can see the update installed successfully by the banner in the main menu (well, and the new content).

There are still ocassional issues with how Steam updates the game.
If you consistently crash on a specific Operation, map or unit - try re-verifying the files: right-click on the Regiments in your Steam library -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify integrity of the game files

Hold the line!
In Static Defense, you start with noticeably more engineering points and all your units can entrench (though non-mechanized ones take longer to do it). On the other hand, the enemy will use earth-shattering preparatory barrages and strong attacks to dislodge you from the defensive positions.

If a zone is lost, counter-attack and retake it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be gradually drained of the victory points.


Five new Regiments enter the Skirmish battlefields.

7 Łużycka Dywizja Desantowa, Korpus Desantowy
A unit of Polish Marines forced to fight out of its element. It wouldn't be wise to underestimate it, though - its close-range prowess is unrivaled.

8 Pułk Czołgów, 11 Dywizja Pancerna
A Polish armored formation relying on massed formations of T-72 tanks - with a wealth of lighter units providing capable support.

Mot.-Schutzenregiment 7, 7.Panzerdivision
A DDR Motorized Regiment, already known by the "Doctrinal Approach" operation, with the BMP-1 companies as its main combat element.

Tactical Group 'Zenit', a composite unit belonging to the 8th Guards Army
An ad-hoc unit stitched together from the remains of several different formations. The catastrophic tank losses had to be compensated by whatever NATO armor the repair crews managed to salvage from the battlefields.

161st Motorised Rifle Division, apparently rushed from Carpathian MD
A third-echelon Soviet formation fighting with outdated T-62M tanks and BTR-60PB, its ranks bolstered by freshly mobilized troops - numerous, but under-prepared.

Rattle the many scenic locations of Fambach with the thunder of guns and engines.
Fight over an important supply route going between two lakes in Bichfroda.


The update introduces a wealth of new units for Warsaw Pact forces:

- T-62M Tank
- BTR-60PB, SKOT-2A, SKOT-2AM, TOPAS, TOPAS-2AP Armored personel carriers
- SKOT-R3, TOPAS-R2 Command vehicle
- 9P133 Anti-tank system
- Osa-AK Divisional-level surface-to-air missile system
- RM-70 Multiple launch rocket system
- Dana Self-propelled howitzer
- Mi-2T Recon helicopter
- Mi-2-URP-G Light combat helicopter
- Mig-21 Jet in a close support role
- Star-266 Supply truck
- Mi-24D now sports the correct Falanga missile model


- AI improvements - better group composition logic, better aggression control (a close objective will be prioritized over chasing player force)
- Improved vehicle movement sounds
- Crater decals in addition to the persistent map damage system
- DDR "Guards" squad removed - instead, DDR regular infantry bumped up to 150% survivability
- Helicopter ATGMs adjusted to have a much higher chance of targeting vehicles in a mechanized platoon
- HQ units now provide a bonus to allied units of the same side
- Further refinement of existing Task Forces, two new US Task Forces added, Wiesel-TOWs are now available in Skirmish
- Add TacAid Hit and Miss voice reports
- FPS Limit is now a slider instead of pre-set values to account for freesync screens
- Companies appear at the deployment zone in column formation
- Platoon Status panel lists the entrenchment progress
- Post-battle screen displays the difficulty level
- Lots of fixes

This is all for now, thank you for your continued support!

1. 增加建造模式，建造模式下时间静止，工厂设备全部停止运行。
2. 修改溢流器规则，出口只能与传送带连接
3. 修复溢流器切换接口没有存储的问题
4. 修复批量删除后，下一次操作时不小心点击鼠标右键误删其他建筑的问题
5. 修复偶发的在工坊睡觉后的卡顿问题

Changed the menu screen similar to how the bootleg Russian translation did (which exists, for some reason), bringing the file-size down from ~800MB to ~265MB.
Please don't ask me how that's possible, it's embarrassing.

Changes to the looping audio were made, which should make the looping transition smoother.

Launching the game via Steam Launcher on MacOS should now be possible.
I have no way of testing Mac or Linux launch though.

Thank you all for your support, and have a good one.
