About OxyRail
OxyRail drops you into an anoxic world where oxygen is scarce and survival hinges on building a self‑sufficient train. You start from nothing, gathering wood, ore and food while constructing carriages that house farms, workshops and defenses.
The game supports solo play or up to eight players in online co‑op, letting friends compete in fishing contests, race up mountains, or even sabotage each other’s trains. Exploration, crafting, combat and research all aim toward eliminating oxygen deprivation for the train’s occupants.
01 / THE GUIDE
Construction
You can gather and fire various building materials to create carriages that serve distinct purposes, from storage to farming. Continuous upgrades let you improve train materials and add defenses against attacks.
Carriage design is open‑ended, encouraging players to arrange rooms like a rolling kingdom while managing resource consumption and space constraints.
- Experiment with different carriage layouts to balance storage and living space.
- Prioritize defensive upgrades if you encounter frequent hostile creature attacks.
02 / THE GUIDE
Exploration & Collection
The world features snowfields, deserts, islands and volcanoes, each offering unique items useful for train operations. While exploring, stay alert for hostile creature attacks that can interrupt gathering.
Collecting exotic resources supports cooking, crafting, and research, providing the raw materials needed for upgrades and survival.
- Visit multiple biomes to diversify your resource pool.
- Carry a weapon or armor when entering areas known for creature aggression.
03 / THE GUIDE
Farming & Cooking
Plant strange or vegetable seeds in soil pots of varying levels to grow crops, and raise chickens for eggs inside the train. Cooking raw ingredients or processing fish at the cutting station yields dishes that grant buffs.
Different recipes provide varied benefits, encouraging experimentation with harvested and caught foods to sustain the crew.
- Combine farming with fishing to maintain a steady food supply.
- Try cooking multiple recipes to discover which buffs suit your play style.
04 / THE GUIDE
Combat
Hostile animals and oxygen bandits threaten the train, prompting the need for clothing, armor and weapons. You can upgrade cannons, heavy crossbows and other vehicle‑mounted weapons to protect your kingdom.
Research and crafting enable stronger gear, while defensive carriage upgrades help withstand larger attacks.
- Upgrade mounted weapons before tackling larger bandit groups.
- Equip armor that matches the threat level of the area you are exploring.
05 / THE GUIDE
Research & Trading
At the research table you can unlock new technologies and items by gathering required materials, gradually automating aspects of train life. Bandit merchants appear on the map, offering trades for Oxygen Coins, the game’s currency.
Trading with these merchants lets you exchange rare resources for Oxygen Coins, which can be used to buy various supplies.
- Focus early research on automation to reduce manual chores later.
- Visit bandit merchants when low on specific resources to exchange for Oxygen Coins.
