Good but needs more

this game is amazing but it needs paddle steamers to be faster, triple and double expansions steam engines,different steam whistles for the ships, the super structure, and to make it so you can connect the steam engines funnels to one big funnel. You could also had multiplayer, have lots of updates and this game would become known again.
