The Eden Engine is Frostrail's moving base, heat source, production hub and route north. The crew operates it between frozen levels, carries recovered supplies aboard, and expands it into a stronger moving fortress.

This page organizes the systems the developers have described without inventing fuel efficiency, module slots, upgrade costs or failure timers.

Heat and Shelter

The train is the crew's dependable refuge from the cold. Expedition range is constrained by the ability to return to warmth.

The train is not a menu

Every expedition changes what the crew can bring back to the Eden Engine, and every train upgrade changes the next expedition's range or resilience.

Values still absent

Fuel burn, power draw, module capacity and upgrade costs need current build evidence before they belong in a numeric calculator.

Official material establishes game facts. Community threads are labeled because a player report is evidence of a question or workaround, not a developer guarantee.
