OxyRail Your home rides the rails

OxyRail is an open-world survival game where your base is a train rolling through snowfields, deserts and volcanoes. You chop, mine, farm, fish and cook while keeping everyone breathing, then bolt new carriages onto your rolling kingdom. A relaxed build-and-survive loop that works solo or with up to eight players.

Is OxyRail worth it?

OxyRail is worth it if…

  • you like slow, careful planning around a shared base
  • you want survival with farming, fishing and cooking
  • you like building with friends in online co-op
  • you enjoy tinkering with automation and research

A base that moves with you

Your home is the train itself. You gather wood and stone, fire building materials, and add carriages for crops, chickens, kitchens and defenses, upgrading from wood to stone to iron without tearing everything down. Plant seeds in soil pots, grow towering trees on deck, raise chickens for eggs, and research automation so planting and power keep running carriage-wide. You shape each car around its job, then roll on to the next biome to collect what it holds.

Oxygen is the real boss

The world outside is short on air, so every trip off the train is a calculation about how far you can walk and when to turn back. You hunt for oxygen sources, unlock better technology, and slowly make the train safe for the whole crew, plus the plants and animals riding with you. Bandits want what you have, and wild creatures patrol the resource zones, so you craft weapons and mount cannons and heavy crossbows to protect the kingdom. Settings let you soften survival pressure if you would rather build in peace.

Built for a full crew

The game supports one to eight players online, and the train gives everyone a job to claim. One of you drives while another fishes an oasis for sashimi-grade catch, slices it at the fish cutting station, or hunts recipes for buff-granting meals. Someone else can trade rare finds with bandit merchants for Oxygen Coins, or pick up a makeshift piano and guitar when the work stops. Stealing the train and leaving your friends chasing after it is entirely possible, if your friendships can take it.

Good to know before you board?

Can you play it solo?

Yes. The game supports one to eight players online, so you can run the whole train yourself or invite friends into your room. Solo suits careful builders who want to expand carriage by carriage at their own pace.

How does oxygen work?

Oxygen limits how long you can stay away from the train. You search for oxygen sources early on, then research better technology to protect the crew, crops and animals on board. It works more like a leash than a timer, pulling you back home.

What do you eat on the train?

You can eat ingredients raw or grilled, or find recipes and cook proper meals for buffs. Fish can become sashimi at a cutting station, crops come from soil pots, and chickens supply eggs. Farming and fishing keep the kitchen stocked.

Where does the train travel?

Across snowfields, grasslands, deserts, islands, berry forests, farmlands and volcanoes. Each terrain holds special resources for life and construction on board, though hostile creatures and oxygen bandits guard the good stuff.
