About This Game

Steel Artery is a train-city building simulator set in a steampunk fantasy world. Your task is to create a thriving city on wheels, where every wagon is a new piece of infrastructure and every decision shapes the lives of thousands of inhabitants.

Once upon a time, the Empire built the legendary Steelpolis, a colossal train that showcased technological power, economic dominance, and authority. It traveled across vast provinces, enforcing order, collecting tribute, and dazzling the masses. But now, the Empire’s treasury is empty, its lands fractured, and its infrastructure on the brink of collapse. To save it, the Emperor revives the abandoned project—and you are appointed as the mayor of this reborn city on rails.

A living world on wheels

Unlike many city-builders, you don’t directly control your citizens. Instead, their AI is economy-driven: they work, eat, rest, and spend money based on their own needs and choices. A worker may refuse a faraway job, quit after earning enough gold, or pick a new profession entirely. You provide opportunities—they shape their lives.

Multiracial colonies

Populate your train with humans, elves, orcs, and many other races, each with unique needs, preferences, and social dynamics. Citizens form families, build relationships, and carry their own histories. Balancing their cultures and desires is as crucial as expanding your economy.

Economy and logistics

Every building on your train generates or consumes gold. Workers need salaries, diners charge for meals, and inns require payment for rest. To keep the economy afloat, you’ll have to stop at resource-rich regions, extracting gold from mines and bringing prosperity back to your rolling city. Space is limited, buildings vary drastically in size, and logistics matter—your layouts must be as efficient as they are ambitious.

Your city, your story

Will you construct a small, fast, technologically advanced train with a tight-knit human crew? Or will you create a massive, slow-moving leviathan filled with thousands of diverse inhabitants? The larger your city, the greater the challenges—and the more opportunities for emergent stories.
