Unrailed 2: Back on Track Adds Endless Highscore Sections and Shortens Rope Engine Segments
Version v-994-309eef5 also adjusts time mode rewards and fixes several issues with credits, task timers, and map cartridges.
Unrailed 2: Back on Track received another experimental build on September 21, 2026. Version v-994-309eef5 adds new highscore sections for Endless runs and makes the Rope Engine shorter for every connected player in a chain.
Endless players can now see separate results for their first biome and first round. The Rope Engine also gets a balance change that reduces its segment length by 0.5 tiles per connected player, giving larger groups less room to spread out during a run.
Time mode receives a set of related adjustments. Extension rewards now follow the selected seed and engine more consistently, while fixes address task timers that failed to reset and new maps overwriting cartridges from completed maps. Lab weight and button placement also move to the right of the station.
To test the build, opt into the experimental branch on Steam and turn off crossplay in the game’s Online Settings. Indoor Astronaut included the complete changelog in its Steam announcement. The rope adjustment follows the earlier Rope Engine experiment, which connected every player to the locomotive and tied team spacing to train speed.
Unrailed 2: Back on Track v-994-309eef5 Patch Notes
The build’s main changes affect Endless score tracking, Rope Engine balance, time mode rewards, and several bugs that could disrupt a run or alter its results.
- New: Highscores include now a First Biome and First Round section for endless
- Balance: Rope engine segements gets 0.5 tiles shorter for each connected player in a chain
- Bug fix: Rope engine now doesn’t change its speed in the credits anymore based on the players position
- Bug fix: In time mode, “hold tools max x seconds” task didn’t reset the timer when spawned
- Bug fix: In time mode, new maps could overwrite cartridges on the ending of old maps
- Balance: In time mode, the extension rewards are now only dependend on the seed and engine. The i-th task at the k-th station should now always give the same extension (Tasks may still differ based on the train and number of players though)
- Balance: Lab weight and button are now placed right of the station
Will the shorter rope make coordinated crews faster or simply send more players back to the engine? Share your take in the comments and follow us on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram, Steam, and Telegram.
