What all is included in this update?
This update includes our new Endless Mode, Expert Mode, and some big updates to manual zoom control which should be especially helpful for players playing on touchscreen devices like Surfaces. You can read the full patch notes in our Hub post which go into detail about the minor tweaks and bug fixes that are also bundled in.


What is Endless Mode?
Endless Mode is a game mode that allows players to work on their cities without the possibility of Game Over. In order to expand the city, players must reach milestones by achieving a certain level of efficiency. Endless Mode can be accessed in two different ways: players can begin a game in Classic or Expert mode and when met with the Game Over screen, select “Continue in Endless Mode” to switch modes, OR by entering into Endless Mode from the start by selecting Endless on the mode select tab on the map card.


Is there a maximum amount of milestones you can get in Endless Mode?
There is no limit, but cities will eventually reach a plateau in which efficiency cannot be improved enough to reach the next milestone.


Do I have to unlock Endless Mode?
No, Endless Mode will be immediately available on every map that a player has already unlocked.


What is Expert Mode?
Inspired by Mini Metro’s Extreme Mode, Expert Mode offers a more challenging way to play Mini Motorways. In Expert Mode, players will find new obstacles and challenges. Shortly after being placed, road tiles and upgrades will become permanent; the full library of upgrades will be offered for the first eight weeks, but the same upgrade cannot be selected two weeks in a row and after the first eight weeks, only road tiles will be offered. Expert Mode comes with its own leaderboard so players can see how they rank amongst the best of the best!


Do I have to unlock Expert Mode?
Yes, in order to unlock Expert Mode, players must reach a high score of 1000+ on the map to unlock the City Challenges, and then score 600+ on a City Challenge to unlock Expert mode for the map.


Why doesn’t Endless Mode have a leaderboard?
There is no leaderboard for Endless Mode because this game mode is designed to be non-competitive. While there is a different set of challenges in this mode, such as milestones for a player to reach in order to see the city expand, there is no possibility of a Game Over and the game doesn’t keep a numerical score during play, which eliminates the purpose of a leaderboard.


Can I monetize my streams of Mini Motorways?
Absolutely. Here’s a copy of our livestream monetization policy from our website.

Dinosaur Polo Club allows for the contents of Mini Motorways to be published through video broadcasting services for any commercial or non-commercial purposes. Monetization of videos created containing assets from Mini Motorways is legally & explicitly allowed by Dinosaur Polo Club.


Is this the final update for Mini Motorways?
Definitely not! We’ve got big plans for 2023 and have already started on the next upcoming content updates for both Mini Metro and Mini Motorways.


The new auto-zoom options aren’t working for me.
Are you playing from a device with a touch screen, like a Surface laptop? If so, check to see on the Options screen whether the option for "Touch Screen Auto-Zoom" is enabled. If auto-zoom still isn't working for you, send us a bug report via the support form on our website.


I think I see a different bug! Or I’m not sure if a feature is working as intended.
Please use the support form on our website! We’ve got extra time set aside to monitor our support feeds in case any issues arise. Steam doesn’t like external links, but you can head over to the website on the product page and click on ‘support’ in the top menu.



Thanks so much to all our awesome Steam players for sending through suggestions and requests for these new game modes over the last year. We're so excited that you finally get to play them, and please get in touch with us if anything isn't behaving as intended! :D

Cheers!
Casey, Lucy, Ruby & the rest of the Dinosaur Polo Club crew

Will you stop adding new achievements?

Awesome update!

Can we have multiple cities at once? Having to erase my endless city just to play normal mode defeats the purpose of it for me. Why does the current game even have to get erased to start a new one anyways?

in Expert are buildings supposed to appear on top of the roads you've already built, deleting them? No way to control the space any more

Yes, this was an intentional change to add more challenge to the new mode by preventing spawn blocking with unused road tiles. If cars aren't using the road, then buildings will potentially spawn on top of it.

Add Freeplay where you can place buildings

Will we eventually see a sandbox option? Endless is nice, but I'd love the option to experiment with junction layouts and neighborhood planning with fewer limitations.

I like endless, just a shame we have to work with the space we already have when continuing a game and the city doesn't seem to expand like it normally does
