A special Christmas Update* is now out! Version 99.0 is now out of beta, just launch the game to the latest version. This version adds performance improvements in certain display modes and improves the search feature.
*This update doesn't actually have Christmas content but it does still have SNOW
A beta for 99.0 has been released! This version adds better search in the save browser, and boosts fps in Fire/Fancy displays by putting rendering into another thread. There's also now in-game credits, a new tools api for creating Lua tools, and various simulation / crash fixes. Download: tpt.io
If you want updates on the latest releases / happenings of The Powder Toy, or maybe some silly posts from time to time, you've come to the right place. Download TPT at tpt.io or install from steam at tpt.io/steam
#Luanti 5.10.0 has been released! Highlights include a content browser redesign, support for the modern glTF model format, gettext translation support, new visual effects, an API for per-player objects, usability improvements, and more.
We're finally migrating to git with @gitea in August! The migration is planned to happen on the 19th and 20th of August (European hours). It's been long awaited, more than 12 years!
This means Simutrans can now be searched and installed from Linux app stores (such as KDE Discover or GNOME Software) even if it is not packaged by your distribution. @simutrans@lemmy.world

#introduction
We're a free, opensource RTS game akin to Age Of Empires 3, made by a team of volunteers across the world.
The engine was made for mods so there are a lot of possibilities to make RTSes
We're currently migrating to @gitea to ease contributing.
