EverRail 0.2.9 Adds Difficulty Sliders, Auto Feeder, and Glider Fixes

Patch 0.2.9 for EverRail, posted by developer g.crawford on 1 September 2026, arrives as a compact but purposeful update touching difficulty customisation, quality-of-life crafting, and glider behaviour.

What changed

Custom Difficulty Sliders

  • New damage multiplier slider for robot enemies
  • New sliders for enemy health and enemy magazine size
  • New ISO yield per wisp slider

Auto Feeder

  • A new Auto Feeder I item, craftable in the Lab
  • Automatically reduces hunger when it drops to 75, consuming one durability per feeding, provided the item is in an active toolbelt slot
  • Food items now carry Auto-Feed traits, broadening which rations the system can consume

Glider improvements

  • Tunnel detection on launch is more reliable, including tunnels close ahead and tunnels above the catcher and launcher wagons
  • Better performance during flight
  • The glider is now hidden on the loadout station while the player is airborne

Other notes

  • New games now start with a minimum of four wagons, correcting an issue where the glider catcher could be absent from the train
  • The patch also includes unspecified bug fixes and balance changes
  • Mouse control and invertible glider controls are noted as planned for a future patch

For players who found EverRail's survival loop either too punishing or too forgiving, the new sliders offer a meaningful degree of tuning — while the Auto Feeder quietly removes one of the more repetitive friction points in longer sessions.

EverRail Demo Hotfix Resolves Corpse Loss, Glider State, and Weapon Bugs

Developer g.crawford has pushed a hotfix to the EverRail demo, targeting three bugs surfaced through player reports.

What changed

  • Corpse spawning on the train: Dying aboard the train previously caused the player's corpse — and all carried loot — to disappear. It now spawns at the location of death, or just outside the cockpit when the player dies inside it.
  • Weapon firing after switching: Swapping weapons via the mouse wheel or a direction button could leave the equipped gun non-functional. This is now resolved.
  • Glider "in use" state: Dying while using the glider left the item flagged as still active even after the player respawned on the train. The state is now correctly cleared on death.

All three fixes address bugs with direct consequences — lost loot and broken combat tools are the kind of friction that distorts first impressions of a demo. Players are encouraged to continue reporting issues via Steam or the game's Discord channel.
