Editing Simutrans (section)

==Critical reception==
[[GameDaily]]'s Big Download considered ''Simutrans'' to be one of the best [[freeware]] games, highlighting the logical system of routing passengers and freight to their destinations, decent AI opponents and the support for custom aesthetics or rules-sets. However, the sometimes unreliable vehicle pathfinding was criticized, particularly with respect to alternate routes and switches for train lines. The sound effects were deemed to be unengaging, and new players may be baffled by the range of transportation possibilities.<ref name="ff" />

Another review from Amiga Future came to very similar conclusions (apart from the lack of sound support on [[Amiga OS]]). In particular the depth of simulation and the stability were highlighted.<ref name="AF">{{cite journal|title=Amiga Future review|journal=Amiga Future|date=December 21, 2009|issue=82|pages=20–21|url=http://www.amigafuture.de/album_page.php?pic_id=14785}}</ref>

Between 2007 and June 2017 Simutrans was downloaded from [[SourceForge]] over 5.6 million times.<ref>[https://sourceforge.net/projects/simutrans/files/stats/timeline?dates=2001-07-10+to+2017-07-16 Simutrans - stats] on [[sourceforge.net]] (June 2017)</ref>
