Onboard network

Power

The crew must power the Eden Engine and its onboard systems while managing the resources that keep the mobile base functional and warm.

Power for the Eden Engine and onboard systems

Power system

Official copy explicitly tells players to fuel, power, and operate the Eden Engine. Power supports the train's function as a base, but the developers have not yet shown a complete electrical network or consumer list.

  • Keep the locomotive operational
  • Support onboard stations and train functions
  • Balance power with fuel, heat, repair, and defense

known system links

The train hosts crafting facilities, refineries, storage, repair, cooking, and weapon systems. It is reasonable to identify these as onboard systems, but their individual power draw is not yet public and is therefore not asserted.
