Feature – #2181 Train Signals Addon
The default train signals have now been converted to an addon, with an updated default signal. This conversion much like the other default playlists makes it very easy for players to replace with their own and upload to the workshop to share with the Stormworks community.
Additionally, in this update we have reworked ropes and winches to fix several longstanding issues including crashes, freezes and unexpected rope based deaths.
Fix – #3360 #8720 Winch lengths reverting to default length on vehicle load (sometimes crashing/freezing the game)
