Jet trains and more launch into Sweet Transit.

THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULDN’T SLOW DOWN: ‘SWEET TRANSIT’ SHIFTS INTO HIGH GEAR WITH BRAND-NEW ‘SWIFT EXPEDITION’ UPDATE

Harness the power of jet trains and bring a bit more green to the scene with natural beauty bonuses.

Ernestas Norvaišas and Team17 Digital have today announced the third major update to Sweet Transit, the Steam Early Access city builder by the ex-Factorio 3D artist and developer. Arriving today, ‘Swift Expedition’ sees Sweet Transit move into a brand-new era of locomotive-led “tycoonery” with the addition of jet trains. Lightning-quick and perfect to transport large amounts of passengers and cargo, players will be able to build these mighty speed demons and harness their power to kick their humble production chains into high gear.

Sweet Transit’s Swift Expedition update also introduces a variety of quality-of-life improvements to the game including a full overhaul of the game’s user interface; double the amount of trains players have in operation previously; and a ‘Natural Attractiveness’ bonus to player settlements, which can be attained by ensuring their citizens are in close proximity to features of natural beauty such as mountains, trees, large bodies of water, and hedges and statues which can be placed around residences.
