Upgrade progression
Recovered materials are reinvested in the train, turning exploration into persistent capability. Public materials confirm the direction of this loop but do not publish a final tech tree or optimal order.
Engine upgrades can improve speed and the weight the locomotive can pull. Because extra carriages demand more power, expansion is presented as an operating tradeoff rather than a purely cosmetic upgrade.
- Protect the locomotive
- Expand production and storage
- Balance extra carriages against power demand
- Improve speed and pulling capacity
- Prepare for train-defense encounters
Early Access scope
The Steam Early Access statement says the core loop is available in the initial scope and the full version is planned to add more train upgrades, alongside more locations, dungeons, loot, weapons, and co-op situations.

Documented weapon-station upgrade
The official Steam gallery now shows a named Assembly Station interface. It supports a modular Bolt-Action Rifle, exposes a stock slot, and shows slag metal, wood, and cloth as the displayed assembly requirements. The store description also confirms that weapon stations can be crafted aboard the train.

What still needs checking
Community Beta records name seven research options and material costs below. Their build number and exact effect amounts remain unverified. Build times, placement limits, power use, unlock conditions and final balance still need in-game confirmation.
Train research reported in Beta records
The community Beta database now has named records beyond the official screenshots. The entries below are reported values, not independently checked balance data: the pages do not identify a build ID or provide a screenshot for every field. Check your in-game card before spending materials, and do not combine them with older official screenshot values.
The community catalogue names seven research options: boiler steam generation, brake efficiency, fuel efficiency, heat capacity, engine health, carriage weight and engine force. It lists material costs but explicitly leaves effect amounts unverified; a recipe cost alone cannot establish the percentage gained or the best upgrade order.
- Fuel efficiency, reported cost
- Scrap Metal Plate ×8 + Charcoal ×7 + Schematics ×8
- Brake efficiency, reported cost
- Scrap Metal Plate ×8 + Machine part ×5 + Schematics ×12
- Engine health, reported cost
- Scrap Metal Plate ×10 + Schematics ×8
- Upgrade effect amounts
- Not verified by the community database
In-game screenshots
These screenshots show a pre-release build, so interfaces, item values, and visual details may change before Early Access.
