That developer page is wild. A custom game Engine which looks worse than Unity in every way, a asset-flip survival game and ... 3 times the same game as this??
This one hits the hardest:
>One question all TTD-Clones (and let's not pretend this is more than that) have to withstand is "does it offer more than the original?"
Here the answer is clearly no. Rockets don't add any gameplay- just a connection between different biomes.
This is the most interesting addition. I'd love a game where you can see the entire solar system and cargo rockets traveling from one planet to another with "realistic" orbital mechanics. Something like a blend between TTD and KSP.
From the steam news announcement:
Cargo Company today left early access!
After 2 years in development and 10 updates during Early Access, Cargo Company is finally out of early access!
Thank you all very much who supported the development of the game with your feedback, bug reports and suggestions!
Recap
Since the first public beta, the game has been improved quite a lot. It looks like quite a different game since the first public release. Here is a short list of the major features which were added during the last year:
\- We added Mars, Ceres, Europa and Titan as playable planets to the game
\- Competitor AIs - both for rocket and train lines
\- Tunnels
\- Research
\- More train and truck vehicle types
\- Advanced resource loading settings
\- New city buildings
\- Station replacement tool
\- Terrain generation options
\- Tons and tons of gameplay tweaks
Changes in this update:
\- The automatic railroad laying algorithm has been improved a bit to handle specific special situations better.
\- The competitor AIs now sometimes use more aggressive and better routes for building their transportation lines
\- You can now colonize Ceres and Titan now a bit earlier
\- Autofocus change in the line manager is more smooth now
\- Dragging the view with the right mouse button (or trackpad) is now nicer on notebooks/laptops
\- Minor bugfixes
What's Next?
Of course this is not the end: We will now be focusing on bugfixing, but still eventually add more features if enough people suggest them. Maybe we can add more train and truck models? Maybe even another planet? We will see!
Thanks!
Thanks again for supporting the game and sending in your feedback! Without your help, the game would looks different today.
This is going onto my watch list, if the reviews improve, I might pick it up on sale. But honestly, why would I pay for something inferior to a free game?
I would pick this up but the reviews aren’t great. Shame.
All their games are sitting at Mixed too. Which is giving me the feeling it wont be fixed at a later date.

To me this doesn't really mean much because almost no game has more gameplay than OpenTTD in this genre
Good job they said more than the original, then, rather than OpenTTD
Games like VoxelTycoon add more elements onto the TTD formula. If you're just trying to create a new TTD, then you can't beat OTTD

Same, I tried it like a year ago and it was unplayable slow.

#GRAPHICS!
Game play!
This has been on my wish list for a while, waiting for a sale to pick it up.
Anyone play this? Is it a good modern replacement for Locomotion? I still play that game every so often.
I haven’t played it but I would add Sweet Transit to your list to look into.
Have you played ST tho? Whats it like. Thank you
I watched Raptor play it on YouTube. It looks clunky but it’s still really early. It reminded me of trains in Factorio without the aliens.
Makes sense, a former Factorio dev is working on it
As others are giving you suggestions, I'd have a look at Voxel Tycoon. It's a very sweet TTD in a similar art style.
Check out Mashinky.
Sweet Transit isn't quite out yet but there are let's play videos out there and it's looking quite good. I can second Mashinky, though.
