How to get the train going

Guides

To get the train going, you need to make sure a few things are in order. When you enter the train by pressing ‘F,’ you will see your stats in the bottom left corner. For the train to move, you would need to get your water temperature up and boiler temperature up. 

Firstly, you need to check that your firewood is fully stocked. These locomotives are steam-powered. If you run out of wood, then your train stops. 

To check if you have enough wood, you simply just need to walk into your train and look to the left. There you should see a pile of wood stacked up to the window. If it looks low, then you need to collect wood. 

The next thing you need to check is your water level. If your water level is down, this means you won't be able to create enough pressure to get the train moving. You will need to use the nearest water tower to refill. 

Once you have enough wood and water, you need to add wood to the furnace. To do this, you just hover over the wood and left-click. Then look at the furnace and right-click. You will only be able to put around 4 pieces in at a time.

Take a look at your stats again. You should see your fuel percentage rise as well as the temperature. As soon as the water temperature hits 100 degrees, there should be enough pressure to make the train move. 

How to refill water

Guides

Refilling the water is relatively simple. There should be a water tower nearby. You need to move the train to the water tower, so the front of the train is in line with the spout on the tower. If there is no tower, you can build one by pressing ‘G’ and choosing a water tower. Place it in an easy-to-get area.

At the top in front of the train is your water tank. Open its hatch by clicking on it. Then look at the spout on the water tower and click on it. Guide it over the hatch as it uses gravity to allow the water to run into the tank. Once your tank is full, lift the spout and close the hatch.

How to get more firewood

Guides

Getting firewood is also fairly simple. You don’t have to go and cut trees down for it. To collect firewood, you need to build Firewood Depot. To build a depot, press “G.” Under facilities, you will find the option to build a firewood depot.

Place the depot near the railway track. You generally would have to cut the wood and stock the depot yourself or have to go to the logging camp or sawmill to collect wood. But with the bug mentioned above, you can bypass this for now. Once you receive firewood, carry it back to the train and add it to your pile.

This video shows you how to get your train started and the basics of collecting materials.
