Faithful depiction of a 1920s-era steam-powered water pumping station

Operate and maintain a massive double-expansion steam engine from the bygone era, pumping water to the town's residential, municipal and industrial water reservoirs, to maintain sufficient water pressure

Interact with vintage machinery like boilers, generators, water pumps and bilge pumps

Fine-tune your steam engine's operation, by adjusting the steam regulator, valve gears and boiler water feed

Operate advanced steam equipment such as a jet condenser

Perform maintenance on equipment and order supplies such as coal and steam oil

Complete event-based 'contract' challenges to supply reservoirs with a given amount of water and receive funding and reputation bonuses in return

Experience realistic audio recorded from a real vintage steam engine

Deal with critical events such as massive steam leaks, flooding and machinery damage, including cylinder wear and boiler explosions

Keep records about the running of the pumping station in your ledger
