The Voidtrain* universe has expanded with a fresh patch that addresses long-standing player frustrations while offering a rare opportunity to snag new content for free. The update, released this week, introduces a significantly larger inventory system for both players and storage containers, a change designed to reduce the frequency of resource overflows that have plagued earlier versions.
Beyond storage, the patch refines the crafting interface and introduces a new variant of railway depots—peaceful encounters that eliminate forced combat. This shift aims to provide players with more flexible progression options, particularly for those who prefer exploration over conflict.
Accompanying the update is Tour de Void, a DLC focused on the game’s beloved Rofleemo pets. Players can now invite these creatures aboard their trains as passengers, complete with customizable seating and a tourist stand that dispenses challenges for rewards. The DLC typically costs $8, but it is available for free until Monday.
For new players, the base game is currently on sale for $15—half its original price—though the discount expires March 5. The patch and DLC arrive as Voidtrain* solidifies its place as a pioneer in the burgeoning genre of train-based survival sims, a category that has seen a surge in popularity over the past year.
While the game retains its signature blend of oddities and survival mechanics, feedback from early access has highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in combat responsiveness and progression pacing. The latest update, however, marks a step toward refining these elements while introducing fresh gameplay layers.
