Gameplay


Getting Started

When you first start the game, you will be prompted to start a tutorial which will take you through all the basics necessary to drive and enjoy your time in Tramau. If you need to look up something specific about gameplay, vehicles or signals, there is a manual available on the main menu. If you are not quite ready to dive into the career, you can get used to driving in Quick Play, found under the Sandbox menu.


Career Mode

Become an operations manager for the entire tram network in career mode! From humble beginnings and limited resources, start off with a brand new fully customizable tram business and choose your own tram liveries and logo. Get your passengers where they need to be on time and earn XP to level up and unlock more operational resources. Connect an entire network of tram stations: gradually expand your tram lines, increase your fleet of vehicles, and work towards building a city-sprawling interconnected tram network.


Sandbox Mode

No expectations, no pressure, just a chill tram drive. Take in the photo realistic graphics and true-to-life tram physics, day, or night. Create tramlines with no limitations and transport your passengers how you see fit. Take your trams out for a spin and drive according to timetables: a purely classic tram driving experience.

I played the update-experimental 0.4.1 on Steam. Why is my save file now reverted?

With the Full Release, we made several changes that unfortunately prevent automatic transfer of save files from the update-experimental version to the Full Release. However, you can manually transfer your save by following these steps:   

 

  1. Navigate to the following folder:

`C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Local\TramSimNext\Saved_Steam\SaveGames\update-experimental\0.4.1\`

  1. Copy the files from this folder and paste them into the "Saved_Steam" folder.  

 

While this method should work without issues, we cannot guarantee it 100%. Please **create a backup** of your save files beforehand to ensure no data is lost.


I play on Xbox Series S. Why do I only see AI trams using the same model that I am driving?

To maintain optimal performance on the Xbox Series S, we had to reduce some visual features, such as displaying AI trams with different models.
