  • PopTop. Railroad Tycoon 2&3 and Tropico 1&2. They got bought by 2K, which eventually killed the studio. The Railroad Tycoon series is dead. Tropico is still around, but I’m not excited about the latest interation. Some of the guys tried to kickstart a new Railroad Tycoon but it didn’t fund. Phil Steinmeyer was an underrated developer, though I believe he’s retired today.

    It’s too bad it worked out that way. I think they could have been on the level with Paradox as far as strategy games are concerned, but focusing more on economic games, city builders, and the like. On Steinmeyer’s blog he said he didn’t think there was demand for heavier games anymore about mid 00s. That might have been true then, but so many games out now prove that wrong.
























  • First, make a copy of your world, even though the stuff seems like it’s gone now.

    When that’s done, I’d try manually readding the mod. There’s a decent chance that the chests will be back. You could also try reverting the update and the loading the world in the older modpack version.

    Usually Forge gives a message and makes a backup on world load if mod has been removed, so I’d double check your save folder for a backup as well.

    Edit: You could also just cheat the stuff lost back in by opening to LAN and allowing cheats. This will also you to change game mode to creative, get the stuff back, change gamemode back to survival, relog, and then continue as normal.
