Will there be a way to make trams (or BRT, or buses, or other modes/lanes) have priority at traffic lights?
As in, when a tram approaches, interrupt the normal light cycle for a special phase that notably gives a greenlight to the tram, which is done on some networks to reduce the time spent at the light by the public transport vehicles

(asking since one of the badly congested intersections I'd like to try revamping in-game could probably use this system)

Yes

Currently improving the vehicle pathfinding by factoring in the following:
- number of lanes (more lanes = higher preference but with diminishing returns)
- speed limit (higher speeds = higher preference)
- lane width (lower preference for lanes under 2.5m wide)
- surface type (gravel or dirt roads up to 100-times more expensive)
- priority, yielding, or stop signs (yielding and stop signs add a small malus, and vice-versa)

Additionaly, driver behaviour might partially or completely ignore some factors, e.g. some will prefer shorter routes, other will prefer faster routes. Also this system is extendable, in the future we might add toll road malus or ferry, etc.

Next step is adding congestion, so pathfinding will prefer emptier roads

Nic straconego. Rok 2026 już tuż tuż tylko ciekawe w którym miesiącu wydadzą tę grę.

You can create new types of roads directly in the game (no modding). Want 100 lanes? Just press a button 100 times. Then save it and you can use it anywhere. They can be turning lanes, merge lanes, or for example bus lanes, emergency vehicle lanes, heavy cargo lanes, the options are pretty varied.

I'm going to press it 69 times

Have you considered introducing some form of funding, like preorders, that could help speed up the development of the game?

No, we don't want to accept money before people can try out the game to see if they like it. It's gonna be a very niché game and I want people to have a good idea about what it's about before spending money.

W skrócie marzenie każdego chińskiego urbanisty. :D

Autorzy Junxions są niezwykle etyczni.

Low-poly theme for slower PCs (work in progress). Will be available on release day as one of the themes (European realistic, North American realistic, Low-poly universal, etc.).

I will also mention that themes are interchangeable between saves. You'll be able to load any map with any theme.
