This section contains ready to use packages, that will deliver the game in simplest and least complicated way. They are recommended for new users. If you have already installed Simutrans game and you are looking just for updates, you can scroll below for a package that contains only parts you need.

• Windows® Packages

  • Unzip and run package, 30-Jul-2006, ~17.7 MB: simu_full.zip
    Just download this package, unzip it to any directory, double-click Simutrans executable (icon with train and car) and play! That is all - simple and easy. There is no need to install anything - the game is ready to be played right after it is unzipped.

• Linux Packages

  • Sorry, no packages of this kind are currently available.

Before you play the game for the first time, I recommend that you look at the Simutrans Novice Site, Tips & tutorials. If you need some help, you can also look at the I need help with Simutrans section of 128x128 Simutrans home. Please remember that this game is brought to you thanks to voluntary help of countless people all around the globe. Please stop by in Simutrans Forum and tell us if you like the game. All of them deserve very big THANK YOU.

This section contains the game split to separate packages. You do not need them if you have downloaded full package or installer; they are good for updating an existing installation. You need more skills to install the game from these packages; on the other hand, you can download smaller files (especially if you need just an update). Simutrans version for systems other than Windows® or Linux need to be created from these packages. In general: if you want to install the game, you will need 128x128 base package + Simutrans executable for your operating system.

• Base Package 1.3.1 (30-Jul-2006)

  simubase128.zip (~17 MB), or (tar.bz2 package not available) (~15 MB)
  Content of packages is identical, difference is only in compression utility used. You need to download just one package.
  This is the regular base package fully set up for use with 128x128 tile set. Use it like the 64x64 base package: get the proper executable file, extract both to the same destination, double click the executable and play. For list of changes see changelog.

• Special updates

  Please go to extension section.

• Simutrans Executables 0.88.10.5

  • Windows executable: simuwin.zip (~0,6MB; for Win9x unicows.dll)
  • Linux executable: simulinux.zip (~0,6MB)
  • BeOS executable: simube.zip (~0,6MB)
  • Intel Mac executable: simumac-intel.zip (~0,6MB) (install instructions)
  You can find comments and the release notes (or maybe even newer versions) at Simutrans Forum.
  Quick installation guide: If none of the installers above will work for you, download the base package and get the executable appropriate for your OS. Then extract the base package and the executable to the same directory. If you have extracted everything properly, then just double-click the executable and play.

These files are not needed to run the game, but they can enrich your Simutrans experience. Please read how to install them.

• Updates

  • Raven's pages contain over 500 new vehicles resembling real world examples. You can greatly enhance your Simutrans experience by installing them. Some vehicles cannot be combined with the originals from the 128x128 set; please reffer to the read_me files and file comments for details.
  • Farms require fertilizer, 06-Sep-2004, ~241KB: fertilizer.zip
    This update from MHz makes farms require fertilizer for production. This makes gameplay even more complex and challenging. (Extract the contents of this package to simutrans\pak128 directory, answer yes when asked to overwrite existing files.)
  • Yellow tank, 06-Sep-2004, ~18KB: citycar.Tiger.pak
    After installing this update, a yellow tank drives on the city streets from time to time. It causes no harm nor damage, it just adds a somewhat extraordinary city car. (Copy this pack to simutrans\pak128 directory.)
  • Black border, 26-Sep-2004, ~10KB: ground.Outside.pak
    After installing this update, the borders of the map will become black instead of sea textured. (Copy this pack to simutrans\pak128 directory, answer yes when asked to overwrite existing files.)
  • Separate vehicle paks, ver. 1.3.1, ~1.93MB: vehicle_separate_1_3_1.rar
    This package does not add anything new! It only replaces one file vehicle.player.pak with 583 files (one for each vehicle). This is useful when you want to replace a particular vehicle by own version. Do not install this package if you do not need to, because it will make your life complicated. This package is for developers. (Delete old simutrans\pak128\vehicle.player.pak and extract contents of this package to the simutrans\pak128 directory.)
  More updates and addons can be found on game related fan sites.
