Pretty sure that cloud support requires rewriting the game with steamworks support. But yeah - it could be nice to have as an afterthought.

This is what I already answered on Steam Forum:

"We talked about the cloud yesterday and it is a very cool feature. But there are some troubles with it. The saved games are fairly big, and at the moment there seems to be no way to limit how many saves you'll put there, which could lead to some not being saved at all.

The settings, achievements and the status of the game could be saved in the cloud, but it seems that the saved games and maps couldn't. So now we'll have to see if implementing this feature is worth it time wise, since we are super busy at the moment. In any case, if we decide to try implementing it, it won't happen right away."

And now I'll have to correct myself. The achievements, of course, are already saved, so for those we don't need the cloud feature. Saving the settings there might cause more trouble than benefit when using different machines for playing. So basically we're left with the status of the game, which might not be worth all the work caused by implementing this later. But we'll have to see, if there would be a solution to have the saved games there, it would actually be pretty cool.

And yeah, we're busy, but unfortunately it's not the upgradable stations :( I still hope you'll like us when you find out what it is :p

I wish! First thing I would do is to hire a programmer to work on the stop upgrade ;)

But seriously speaking, we're working on things with top priority at the moment, and unfortunately we can't spare the (single) manpower on the stop upgrade issue.

I hope eventually you will be able to. Its quite important. If I had to close the line to upgrade its fine. But close the line, remove it from the route, demolish, build another one, include in the route again and reopen the line, is really unreasonable.

We know this is an issue, but unfortunately it's not a simple one. So all I can do is to ask for your patience and hope the game is still enjoyable ;)
