FERROCADE

The supply line decides.

A real-time strategy game about the thing other RTS games skip: the supply line. Currently in private beta.

01 · THE CORE

Tanks without diesel don't roll.

Guns without ammunition go silent. Whoever protects their own artery and cuts the enemy's wins — not whoever clicks faster.

In FERROCADE supply is not a bar at the edge of the screen. It is a chain of buildings and vehicles running the width of the map, and it can be cut anywhere along its length. A push that outruns its supply stops — reliably, every time.

Built in Rust, rendered in real 3D, with a day and night cycle, weather, and a map that remembers where your convoys have driven.

SCOUT What you have not seen does not exist for you.
SUPPLY Diesel and ammunition all the way forward — or not at all.
ADVANCE The attack holds exactly as long as the line does.

02 · SYSTEMS

Four systems, one circuit.

None of these is a side mode. Each one feeds the others, and all four together are the game.

Supply as the core system

Derricks, refineries, supply points and tanker trucks form a real, attackable logistics chain running to the front. Every unit burns diesel and ammunition — a severed line stops any advance.

Modular vehicle designer

Combine hull, propulsion, turret and modules freely — from the scout buggy to the siege colossus. Every design has weight, consumption and a magazine, and the workshop tells you the cost before you build it.

Information warfare

Fog of war, sensors, counter-battery radar and satellite passes. Reconnaissance is not a convenience feature — it is the precondition for your artillery having a target at all.

Research & doctrines

A branching tech tree whose key decisions shape how you play — and how the enemy AI plays, because it commits to a doctrine of its own.

03 · FROM THE GAME

Captures from the running build.

Every shot comes straight out of the engine, with no retouching. For the battle images we positioned the armies — the fighting is the simulation's. Click opens full resolution.

The front by day: a blue column moves along the golden supply artery while the red enemy line stands across it. — The front by day — a blue column streams along the supply artery, the red line standing across it.

A road-junction firefight without HUD: a blue armoured column lower left trading fire with a red infantry line upper right, explosions and debris in the air. — Exchange of fire at the junction — a blue column runs into the red line.

Evening sun over the home base with HQ, refineries and long shadows. — Golden hour over the home base: HQ, refineries, labs — and the artery leading into it.

Wide strategic view with the fog-of-war edge across the left half of the map. — Strategic view. The edge of the fog is the real front line.

The vehicle designer with a loaded design, effective stats and the garage strip. — The workshop: hull × propulsion × turret × modules — with honest effective values instead of stars.

The base at night: floodlights, lit windows and the supply line glowing green. — At night the supply line glows green through the dark.

A blue armoured column pushing up a road past two burnt-out wrecks in craters, red infantry ahead. — Pushing up the road, past burnt-out wrecks.

The same front at golden hour with long shadows across the plain. — The same front at golden hour — different light, same decision.
