Revision as of 10:03, 25 August 2020

Stepford loop with extra track — The new network map introduced in Version 1.6

SCR Version 1.6 was an update released to the public on June 22nd, 2020. This update, nicknamed the 'Rebrand' by this community brought a full Stepford Connect and Waterline rebrand, a Connect extension to a new area Willowfield, and Morganstown became a triple line Interchange upon a new Waterline shuttle from Morganstown to Benton. This route is known as R015. The update was going to release on the 23rd of June, but when it was released BanTech stated "We ran out of bugs so we figured there's no point holding it overnight if all our testing was complete".
