3. Steam Workshop
While the Store allows for purchase of additional content, the Workshop allows for free sharing of content with other players*.
Content available in the Steam Workshop is not solely provided by RailSimulator.com and so quality may vary. This facility is provided by Valve Corporation and we cannot guarantee ongoing availability of this system.
*It is not possible to share purchased content. Steam Workshop content must meet certain requirements in order to be hosted, and ensures that everything needed, is easily available:
· Scenarios and Routes only use assets from officially available DLC. · Routes can only include the "route files", that is, no custom items such as scenery. Once a Workshop Route is made publicly available, it cannot be modified: should the author wish to extend or change it, they must issue it as a new version. This means that scenario authors have a known stable base on which to create their content. For more information about the Steam Workshop for Train Simulator, use the Browse located in the Workshop tab of Drive.
- 14 ©Dovetail Games All Rights Reserved
Train Simulator - User Guide
4. The Build Screen
The Build screen is the start point to create new content in Train Simulator. The options available here enable:
· Creation or modification of routes and scenarios; · Clone of a route or scenario to modify or extend it; · Publishing of routes and scenarios to the Steam Workshop.
4.1 Route Tab
The main Build screen is split into several elements: 1. A list of routes installed locally. 2. Information about the route. 3. Action buttons related to a selected route; The screen looks like this:
- 15 ©Dovetail Games All Rights Reserved

Train Simulator - User Guide
4.2 Publish to Workshop
With Train Simulator it is possible to publish routes and scenarios created, to the Steam Workshop to share with other Train Simulator enthusiasts. These are uploaded to the Steam system and so require an internet connection.
This facility is provided by Valve Corporation through their `Steam Workshop' and as such we cannot guarantee the ongoing availability of this system.
In order to share content on the Steam Workshop, some requirements must be met: · Routes and scenarios can only use assets (rolling stock, buildings, etc.) from officially
available DLC, as found in the Steam Store; · Once published, the content cannot be modified, although it can be deleted. Any update
must be provided as a clone, and renamed and publish new; · Uploaded content is not published immediately. A test period exists during which
changes can be made. This period requires other users to subscribe to the content to show it is stable and functional. Once a minimum number of subscribers has been achieved, the author can Publish the content and it becomes finalised; The Publish Route (and Publish Scenario) screens are accessed from the Workshop button on the Build screen, and look like this:
- 17 ©Dovetail Games All Rights Reserved
Train Simulator - User Guide
Initially, the Publish Route screen shows on the left-hand side, the installed routes that can be published. Only custom or cloned routes can be published. Purchased content cannot be published. At the top of the screen are two buttons:
Routes
Show the currently installed routes.
Scenario
Show the currently installed scenarios.
4.2.1 Publishing a Route
Before using the Build screens to publish a route, an image is needed and must be added to a folder called "Route Information" within the route itself. This image will be used to represent the route in the Drive screens. The image must be in PNG format and it must be called "image.png".
Along the left-hand side is a list of routes installed locally. Select the route to be published. Train Simulator will check that the route satisfies the upload requirements noted previously. If the validation fails, an output will be displayed, noting the errors. If the validation is successful, the Publish button at the bottom right hand corner will be enabled.
Click on Publish. Another screen is displayed, where fields must be completed to populate it in the Workshop in the correct way:
In Game Description
This is a full HTML-coded page that can be supplied. The page is displayed when the Info for a route is chosen.
Workshop Description This is the title and main text to be displayed in the Workshop. This cannot include HTML.
Visibility
This is the visibility of this route on the Workshop.
Country
This is the location the route is set in.
Loco Type
What power type is the route designed for.
Screenshot
Taken from the set of screenshots created in game and stored in the My Pictures folder.
The image top-centre of the screen is the image.png that is located in the Route Information folder. This can be adjusted or replaced by clicking on the Open Folder button.
Click Publish to begin upload to the Steam Workshop.
There is a delay between the route being published and it appearing on the Workshop. This is Steam making the content available world wide. Once it available, it enters a 'preliminary' state, where it can be seen in Workshop but scenarios based on it cannot be published. This is to enable final modifications based on initial feedback from subscribers. It is recommended that time is
- 18 ©Dovetail Games All Rights Reserved
Train Simulator - User Guide
allowed for feedback and that any such responses are considered before making the content final. Once final, it cannot be changed!
To fully publish the route, return to the Workshop screen, select the route, and click on Make Final. This will do two things:
· Enable scenarios based on the route to be published. · Disable any further changes to the route.
4.2.2 Publishing a scenario
In much the same way as publishing a route, a scenario can be chosen and shared on the Steam Workshop.
Select the scenario to be published. Validation will then be performed. Assuming the scenario is OK, no message will be displayed and the Publish button at the bottom right hand corner will be enabled.
Click on Publish. Another screen is displayed:
Fill in the fields to populate it in the Workshop in the correct way:
Workshop Description This is the title and main text to be displayed in the Workshop. This cannot include HTML.
Visibility
This is the visibility of this scenario on the Workshop.
Country
This is the location the scenario is set in.
Loco Type
What power type the scenario is designed for.
Screenshot
