Prologue
Twelve years after the Severance Winter, the towns of Grauband lie between silent power plants and broken roads. You lead a small security unit back into a region that has lost its faith in big promises. Win it back, one delivery at a time.
Build outposts. Escort supplies through contested ground. Find the connection an enemy position lives on. Decide which technology helps your unit — and which places you can hold when night falls.
FERROCADE combines base building, vehicle design and tactical battles with one question: What can you really supply?
Background: the skirmish map's river valley, real-time from the engine — not a campaign location.
Scene 01 · Battle
Whoever arrives without ammunition is just a target.
Mixed forces collide — tracked and wheeled vehicles, every weapon with its own magazine. Wrecks burn in their craters, and tracks cut through the grass.
Staged: twenty vehicles per side placed in blocks, then the unmodified simulation. Skirmish map, not the campaign.
2089 · Grauband
FERROCADE once joined power plants, refineries and freight terminals into one network. Then came the Severance Winter.
Broken lines, floods and transport blockades stopped the supplies. Some districts were disconnected to save others. Temporary closures became borders.
Today each town works alone. The Corridor Authority controls their roads: accept its terms and receive fuel. Build your own connections and face a blockade.
You command Connection Unit 7. A small security and engineering force, two construction trucks, one first assignment. Restore Wachtgrund. Beyond the next bend, a community is waiting for something more than promises.
“We don’t need a liberation speech. We need you to come back tomorrow.”Leyla Arendt · spokesperson for Lichtenau
The engineer
She knows every load distributor and the limits of a technical solution. Mara explains how a base works — and why one generator does not make a network.
“One generator is not a network.”
The scout
Once a long-haul driver, now your eyes on the valley road. He knows the detours. What lies beyond the next ridge is something he’ll confirm when he sees it.
“The map says road. I say: go and look first.”
The adversary
The head of the Corridor Authority believes central control is the only way to prevent another collapse. His blockades protect the network — and his power.
“A connection without control is just the next outage.”
Scene 02 · Fire mission
As long as the ammunition keeps coming.
A fire mission keeps a target area under fire. Without reconnaissance the artillery has no target, without supply there is no next salvo.
Staged: twelve guns placed, then a real fire order with six salvos. Target markers hidden, exposure lifted for the night. Skirmish map, not the campaign.
Campaign · Wachtgrund
Where supplies arrive, the lights come back on.
Campaign mission 1, Wachtgrund, development build b1275 — real time from the engine, interface hidden, evening light set for the shot.
The Last Connection · Campaign opening
Three connected missions take you from your first oil derrick to securing a town. Learn through concrete objectives: where to build, what to protect, and why. Every task tells you what to do — and why.
Wachtgrund · Construction
“Wachtgrund still has walls, but nothing is running. The generators are idle, the tanks almost empty. Mara has marked an oil field within reach.”
Radio · Mara Voss Wachtgrund is silent. We start at the oil, not at the switch.
Valley road · Escort
“Lichtenau heard our radio call. Now we have to deliver. Bring the transport to the pumping station and keep its approach supplied.”
Radio · Jona Reh The map says road. I say: secure the supplies first.
Lichtenau · Town control
“The men at the freight yard call their demands a road toll. Leyla calls it a blockade. … The houses are not a target. We need this town after the fighting.”
Radio · Jona Reh Vehicles, a watchtower and a depot at the freight yard. The houses are not targets.
3 playable missions The opening is playable: three connected missions. Five further chapters are planned. Campaign, briefings and radio log use text without voice acting. Seven game languages are available; translations are in beta.
These chapters are not playable yet. Feedback on the opening will shape their development.
Scene 03 · Night
Day turns to night in the game. In the dark, light becomes information: headlights, floodlights and muzzle flashes show where the fighting is — and which places you can still hold.
An assault on a lit base. We positioned the armies, the simulation did the fighting; exposure lifted for the night. Skirmish map, not the campaign.
The systems
None of this is a side mode. Each one reaches into the others, and all four together are the game.
01
Oil derricks, refineries, supply points and tanker trucks form a real logistics chain to the front — and every link can be attacked. Every unit burns diesel and ammunition; cut the line and any advance stops.
02
Combine hull, drive, turret and modules freely — from scout buggy to siege colossus. Every design has weight, consumption and a magazine, and the draft shows you what that costs before you build it.
03
Fog of war, sensors, counter-battery radar and satellite passes. Reconnaissance is not a convenience — it is the reason your artillery has a target at all.
04
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.
Scene 04 · Supply
Tanks without diesel don't roll, guns without ammunition go silent. One continuous zoom, no cut: from the fight in the grass up to the war map — and the supply arteries every position lives on. Whoever protects their own artery and cuts the enemy's wins, not whoever clicks faster.
A staged battle on the skirmish map; supply display switched on for this shot.

Development build
This box fills itself from the build pipeline — with the same build the game itself reports as current.
New in the game ·
The whole vehicle fleet has new models: every hull, drive, gun and aircraft is rebuilt with real detail and new paint, and the guns move like real guns.
The release notes are in English. Play in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese or Japanese. Translations are in beta.
Private beta
FERROCADE is being built quietly: no advertising campaign, no shop, no waiting-list mechanics. There is a short list and a developer who decides who joins next. Put your address down — when a seat opens up, we get in touch.
Tanks need diesel. FERROCADE needs development time. If you like what is taking shape here, you can support its development on Ko-fi. Every contribution is voluntary — feedback from your battles helps just as much.
