Expanding the workshop

The Eden Engine begins as transport and shelter, then grows into a moving production base. More carriages and facilities increase what the crew can process, craft, repair, cook, modify, and store between expeditions.

  • Add facilities as the train expands
  • Support crew equipment and train survival
  • Balance space, materials, power, and defense

More carriages expand production, storage, and power demand.

Assembly Station evidence

The current official Steam screenshot labels the interface “Assembly Station.” It displays a modular Bolt-Action Rifle, a stock slot, three stock choices, a live stat panel, and material requirements. This is the strongest public evidence for a canonical workstation name and concrete crafting UI.
