RAILGRADE is a construction strategy game about building railway networks that connect future off-world cities with valuable industries. As the last remaining employee on a corporate-owned Earth colony, you must salvage the planet's economy after a disastrous management mishap. With dozens of trains at your disposal, manage the production of goods and deliver essential resources to restore the colony as a thriving industrial center. In the near future, corporations have transformed distant planets into industrial colonies, harvesting their resources for commercial gain. Your employer, Nakatani Chemicals, has lost control of one colony after a complete economic collapse. Now, you must use retrofitted train transport to salvage what remains. Build tracks, buy trains, and transport the required cargo to achieve your goals. Create the most efficient railway system possible to develop a successful transport economy and perhaps restore what remains of the colony and your career. Simple construction tools make it easy to start building a busy railway delivery system. Carefully plan your tracks to overcome mountains, canyons, and other challenging terrain, then create the fastest or most cost-effective delivery routes. Control resource inputs and outputs, optimise workflows, and increase production speed with catalysts and workers. Maintain steady production across industries, or deliver enough water and other necessities to help the colony's cities expand and thrive once again. Use your earnings to buy train engines with different attributes, construct useful buildings such as a law firm or water pumps, and research new industries to invest in, including Steel, Oil, and Ore. Decide whether to invest in the growth of your city or focus entirely on your own profit.
