!voxeltycoon@sh.itjust.works and !voxeltycoon@lemmy.zip. Oddly enough the lemmy.zip one gives me an error when I click the link, but going to the sh.itjust.works one, looking at the sidebar, and clicking the link to the sister community works. Maybe the lemmy.zip community was deleted and sh.itjust.works retains it, the same way I can find now-dead communities whose entire instance went down and look at some posts from them still?

This is a very solid and entertaining logistics/transport management game, if you like Mashinky or Transport Fever, you'll enjoy Voxel Tycoon.

EA updates are rather slow, but the game is playable as is.

I like trains and did not know of Mashinky. Thank you for letting me know about it :)

Should probably edit that this is an EA game into the title so thanks for mentioning that.

Mashinky is really good. My last (80 hour) run was in late 2021, so some things have changed, but it's a very a fun game if you like logistics/transportation management. While I a huge fan of Transport Fever, I do think Mashinky's 2.5D isometric, grid-based view also offers a compelling experience.

I did play it with mods, no cheats, but I did radically stretch out the time periods (that's how I got an 80 hour run).
