[h2]Build your factory[/h2] Start simple with iron smelting, concrete mixing, and food processing. As you research new technologies, expand into oil refining, electronics, computing, and eventually rocket and space station components. Manage waste and pollution before they affect your people's health.

Your journey begins on a remote island with a small crew of workers and a ship full of supplies. Mine raw materials, reshape the fully dynamic terrain, grow crops, build factories, and research new technologies. Expand across the island, lay rail networks, trade with distant settlements, and work your way up to nuclear power and space flight.

[h2]Mine resources and shape the land[/h2] The entire terrain is fully dynamic. Every mountain can be flattened, every valley filled, and even the ocean can be reclaimed to expand the available land. Create open-pit mines to reach deep ore deposits, or dump excess rock into the ocean to expand your shoreline. Build ramps and slopes so your vehicles can reach any elevation.

[h2]Move products with trucks, trains, belts, and pipes[/h2] Trucks handle general logistics automatically, delivering products where they are needed most. Lay conveyor belts and pipes for high-throughput direct connections between machines. Build a rail network to move bulk cargo across long distances. Use amphibious vehicles and bridges to reach other islands.

[h2]Your tools[/h2] Copy and paste parts of your factory, or save entire layouts as blueprints to reuse and share. Use planning mode to lay out designs before committing resources. Design your own island in the map editor and play it or share it with others. Or switch to sandbox mode where all buildings and resources are free, perfect for experimenting and learning.

[h2]Explore, trade, and become self-sufficient[/h2] Send your ship out to explore the world map. Discover new islands with resources to import, refugees to rescue, and allied settlements to trade with. Establish shipping contracts for recurring exchanges, or negotiate quick trades when you need something fast. Your ultimate goal is full self-sufficiency: launch rockets, build a space station, and mine asteroids for rare resources that make your colony independent indefinitely.

[h2]New content[/h2] Expand your depot with five new locomotives, each filling a different strategic role: * [b]Electric locomotive (tiers 1 & 2)[/b] - No refueling needed as long as the track is electrified. Electrified track costs more to build and requires extra vertical clearance for the overhead wires, but once in place your trains run without interruption. * [b]Fire-less steam locomotive (tier 1)[/b] - Runs on pressurized steam alone, making it the simplest locomotive to fuel. However, its low power and limited range mean it is best suited for short shuttle routes. * [b]Gas turbine locomotive (tier 2)[/b] - A jet engine on rails! The fastest and one of the most powerful locomotives in the game, but its fuel gas consumption is heavy. Pair it with an optional tender wagon to extend its range. * [b]Nuclear locomotive (tier 3)[/b] - A massive three-car unit that can run for years on a single load of uranium fuel rods, delivering immense pulling power. The ultimate feat of engineering, arriving with a dedicated refueling station. * [b]Molten materials wagon and station[/b] - Optimize your supply chain for molten materials by separating production and consumption with rail transportation in between.

Supercharge your train logistics network with the power of electricity, or even nuclear energy. Modernize your railway fleet with five new high-tech locomotives, build electrified rail infrastructure, and transport molten resources with specialized wagons.

This DLC expands your train experience with electrified train tracks, five new locomotives, and a specialized infrastructure for rail transportation of molten materials.
