Metro Master

About Metro Master

• Branch lines: a line can now branch off at any middle station and share its trunk track; services can run on the branch only, and branches, services and off-peak can be set to 0%. Branches also work in challenges. • New cities: Osaka, Sapporo and Fukuoka in a new Japan section on Home, plus Hsinchu (Hsinchu City and County), expandable into Miaoli and Taoyuan. • Leaderboards: sign in and open them from the Account page. Each city has Unlimited, Break-even 100%+ and Challenges boards showing the top 50 and your own rank; players who bought Unlock all can set an account name. • Challenges: during a challenge, the Operate tab lists each goal below the four figures and shows whether it is met. • Building: stations can now be as close as 100 m; tap a line name to rename it, or its color swatch to change the color; off-peak % is disabled when only 1 train runs at peak. • Out-of-station transfers: two stations within walking distance now connect, shown as a dashed line on the map. • Cinema view: new Overhead, Cab, Left and Right cameras; platforms show the next train in each direction, and the on-board display steps through the next stop, transfers and arrival. • Staggered timetables: short-turn, express and all-stops services are spaced out; an express that catches a slower train follows behind it. • Demand gaps: the Stats tab shows a heat map of people who still ride scooters or drive and cannot walk to a station, with light yellow arrows showing where they are heading. • Achievements: new city achievements for Taipei, Hsinchu, Taichung and Chiayi; share achievements now need 5%, 10% and 20%, Every City Runs needs 5% in every city including the three Japanese cities, and the three quality achievements need a 5% share. Achievements you have earned are kept, and the Achievements page shows the figure you reached. • More realistic riders and population: travel choices are tuned to each area's map, and population is now far less overstated in rural areas. Older plans are rescored under the new rules and some challenge goals are adjusted; achievements you have earned are kept. • Home and Settings: on phones, swipe the city cards to switch cities; the Cities page in Settings now uses city cards that unlock in place; in-game settings have moved to the toolbox. • Power saving: a new Power saving switch in Settings, which also turns on automatically in Low Power Mode or when the device is struggling. With it on, platforms show how many riders are waiting, in yellow where riders cannot get on, and the map is simplified to reduce heat. • Notifications: notices, achievement unlocks and tips share one color scheme and appear in turn at the top. • Account and sync: a new Account button at the top right of Home; the Account page lists plans not yet uploaded or downloaded, cloud saves you have not downloaded can be deleted, and a full cloud is flagged; when a new version is out, the game saves first and then reloads. • Restore purchases: checks your synced purchases first, and shows Canceled in Settings if you cancel. • Fixes: riders stuck at stations on short-turn and express return trips; platform queues that kept growing on short lines; Done not responding in the share preview; the last city card out of reach on tablets; occasional slow cloud sync on iPhone.
