Reminder, please remain polite towards the devs and other users.

Drops are a courtesy, not a right.


[non-limited accounts only] (TL;DR: you spent at least $5 USD on Steam)

[Click here for the broadcast. Ended.] (schedule posted below - not all streams give drops)
No point in sending !drop in the broadcast chat.

Like last year, you can get Steam items for by watching the Dovetail Festival of Rail 2024 broadcast.

All items drops after roughly 5 minutes and are immediately tradable and marketable. Everyone's selling at minimal price, though.
Reminder to make sure you are logged in, works both in client and browser.

Friday 9th: Ended. Details below.
Saturday 10th: Ended. No items. Details below.
Sunday 11th: Ended. Details below.

You can see all of the event's items on Steam Card Exchange or SteamDB.
SteamDB shows Points Shop prices, but they are not actually available yet.

Check MeguminShiro's post on Reddit if I'm not online during the streams, this could be outdated.


FAQ:

  • I never spent money on Steam/spent less than $5 USD, will I get the drops?
    No, events tied to Steam broadcasts only work for non-limited accounts.
  • My account is non-limited because I spent $5+ USD on Steam, but I am market-restricted because I didn't buy games in over a year, will I get the drops?
    Yes, you will. (I confirmed it during Quakecon 2023).
  • Can I mute the stream and still get drops?
    Yes.
  • It's been a while and I still didn't get the drops, why?
    If your account is non-limited and you made sure you are logged in, try the usual troubleshooting steps: refresh the tab, use a different browser, clear cookies, etc.

Livestream schedule:

It is not clear which streams drops items or not.

Why is this ended, the schedule states there's another stream later?

Because that stream is not supposed to be having drops, but I removed the [ended] anyway. We'll see.

Oh, they stated there won't be drops for the last stream?
If so, did they state what in the world is going on?

They didn't state there won't be, rather they didn't state there would be.
Also no, they didn't explain whatever happened. /shrug

I don't know, in all of their streams, they never ever reply anyone, just looks pre-recorded.

They probably can't be bothered to read the Steam comments seeing how it's flooded with trolls and other spammers, they probably only interact with YT/Twitch if at all. I do agree it kinda feels pre-recorded.

This is the event: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32976291/sale/FestivalofRail2024
The broadcast, when live, will be at the top of the page. It's currently offline, so you don't see it.
The host isn't always the same, which is why there are two different links in the replies.

I however understand the confusion, I'll try to make it clearer next time I make a post for an event like this.

Thanks a lot. I have deleted my previous answer, because I haven't read good enough. It was my fault, sorry.

You wrote it very clear - just my eyes and brain were too foggy.

Considering the broadcast doesn't show up on the sale link (unlike the direct links that show the offline screen), it's understandable.
You are welcome!

If I got the consensus right, excepting the stuff that people get if they missed last year, no one gets the backgrounds for this year's despite the fact they apparently exist. if you already got last year's like I did, you only get the emotes. I hope they'll make it up next year like they did last year, but this is inexcusable.

I got no backgrounds and only 5 emotes. I also only saw it on Sunday.

They exist, you can see them in the databases.
Where they are, no one knows. They aren't even available in the Points Shop.

I'm aware. The point was they weren't distributed and Dovetail forgot them.
