The Ultimate Bus Simulation released by Astragon has just undergone a 9th major update. This update # 9 includes a number of bug fixes and game improvements, as well as a new feature: Rights management in multiplayer mode.
An expected feature that will avoid reading comments like “I hired someone I didn't know, and he destroyed my business”. Now the owner of a bus company decides for himself what rights he wishes to offer to the rest of his team.
In details
A button is assigned next to any player. As a company owner, you can define rights allowing other players to create a real structure in your company and in your game session. The functions now available for multiplayer are as follows:
- Bus Shop: Allows you to buy / sell buses
- Employees: Allows you to hire / fire NPC drivers
- Route Editor: Allows you to create, delete or edit routes
- Personalize the driving experience: Allows you to adjust the driving experience
- Kick players: Allows to ban players from the game session
- Invite players: Allows you to invite players to the game session.
- Set password: Allows you to set or modify the password for the game session.
- Define online mode: Allows you to switch to online mode
- Pin players: Allows you to pin players
Important note: To benefit from the update, it is necessary to recreate a new company. The old saves will continue to use the old game mode. A bit of a shame, but when we see all the additions of this free update, we are not going to complain.
