Now developers MaFi games have launched the second major update to Captain of Industry, adding an extensive map editor that lets you tweak the world and revamps all the existing maps to a new, higher standard. There's also a new player hub for people to share their creations with each other. The update also adds hydrogen vehicles, conveyor lifts, stackable conveyor balancers, custom surfaces, improved difficulties, loans, ore sorters, improved logistics gameplay, pipe and tank coloring, and icons on fluid storage and assemblers that show what they contain and produce.

The new maps really do take center stage for this update, with dynamically smoothed edges on mountains that makes everything look a bit more realistic.

There are even four new models for trees and 16 new bushes.
