About this game

It's sometime around 2100 and DreamLine is one of the last places on earth where humans live. People stopped procreating long ago. They all live in their little boxes, connected to each other by DreamLink. H01 decides one day to go on a journey to the End of the World, a place people supposedly walk outside their boxes. You are the train AI tasked with delivering him. Will the sci-fi + steampunk train H01 made be enough for the journey?

Build

You will need resources to survive this journey. Build Ice Shovels to collect snow that can be converted into steam. Build Smelters to smelt the scraps collected from the city into useful metal. Build Chemical Boilers to increase your steam power capacity. Build Crawler Depots and Drone Depots to increase your logistics capabilities.

Explore

Explore the decaying DreamLine. Find Metal and Chip storage facilities for quick materials. Dig through the towering Scrapyards for an infinite source of metal, if you can smelt it. Find powerful upgrades scattered around the city, and maybe you will also learn a bit about its past.

Repair

DreamLine is in a state of decay and disrepair. Your journey will be dangerous. Keep some metals handy to administer field repairs to keep your machines functioning. Your train is designed for this, but will you be able to balance the resource needs?

Research

H01 was too eager to begin the journey. You will need to research better machines to successfully complete your mission. Go through the tiers. Eventually unlock Polymers, a new material that advanced buildings use. Do the calculations needed to add more carts to your train. Upgrade the main engine.

Fight the Cold

It's cold outside. The human on board needs plenty of heat to survive. Balance the life support with steam needed for production. Keep the logistics going, no steam means a slow death.
