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 Public materials confirm the direction of this loop but do not publish a final tech tree or optimal order.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.

Expand production and storage
Balance extra carriages against power demand
Improve speed and pulling capacity
Prepare for train-defense encounters
