Mobile-base expansion

Carriages

Additional carriages expand the Eden Engine into a larger mobile base with room for crafting facilities, storage, reinforcement, and crew functions.

Expand the mobile base

Carriage expansion

The official store description says players can add carriages, crafting stations, and storage to build the train into a mobile base. This is a progression system, not merely visual customization.

Developer interviews add two constraints: walls use grid-snapped construction, and more carriages require more engine power because upgrades govern speed and pulling weight. The team does not expect extreme multi-storey structures.

  • Increase usable train space
  • Host production facilities
  • Add storage
  • Build walls on a snapped grid
  • Balance train length against power and pulling capacity
