gm_metro_ruralline is the first map in metrostroi history to be mostly outside based map. Map was released Monday of 27/02/2017, with very version being tested on MFIN (Metrostroi Finland) server, Today called Metrostroi Europe. Since then ruralline has been updated many times until V29 became its last major update in 29.7.2017, since then there have been many new versions of the map what have not been released.
gm_metro_ruralline_legacypack is a storage for all old maps from V1 until V29 +snow, Even V3 and V4 will be part of the legacy pack even when it's fully new release.
gm_metro_ruralline is a 70% overground and 30% tunnels map built by GamerzXsakuzboy99 when he did not have that much knowledge of the mapping, but over time the map got somewhat better until V29 was released. This version broke almost everything from the map, and it has stayed like that since 2017. But even still, this fact. Map is played very often on non-ranked / ranked servers alike. This is due to the simple layout that the map has, only having a Left / Right trackway without any extra curves what other maps offer. Still Map is very popular among new players. Players have been of course been waiting for update due Rocklake - depot section is very badly designed area as it was meant to be temporary. Same time, all station sections are very short, so map can only have 6 trains active on both tracks.

These settings are recommended by map developer as map in its current form is so short and has a lot of faults
These settings are only for V1 - V29 versions of the map.
- 6 Trains.
Rocklake station is only single tracked station, so that area will have huge traffic jams, That's why it's recommended only between 4 or 6 trains.V29 was updated on 26/03/2024, Rocklake got Dead-End & is double tracked.
- 4 wagons.
"Map supports 4 wagons too but because of miscalculated lengths, Market Street Dead-end can support only 3 wagons, With 4 car train it will be tight as you need to hit buffer with your coupler"Market Street Dead-End was Extended on 26/03/2024 update.
- Passenger numbers: 50
This is Because of the line location.
- Voltage: 850Kv
Voltage what is used by LVP (Lakeview transport company)
- sv_crazyphysics_defuse 0
- sv_crazyphysics_remove 0
- sv_crazyphysics_vehicles 0
- sv_crazyphysics_warning 0
These cmds are absolute if you want to drive between Aviation university & Market street stations, As map up until v29 is located so down in the as possible in the engine, so it causes physic engine to have a heart attack.
These are addons what have been made for ruralline, they are either 3rd party or released by RMDT (Rockport metropolitan development and testing)
Not supported anymore due V29 was updated on 26/03/2024 & V3 does not even support them
