Pressure climbing. Drum level dropping. Three alarms and the TSO wants more power. If you trip the plant, everyone notices — the news, your boss, that guy who named his cat after a substation. You got hired because your resume said "worked with computers." Keep the lights on. Keep your job.
COALCOM: Power Station Operations TerminalYou're the new operator at Riverside Coal Power Station.
Your predecessor, Earl, was three weeks from retirement when he decided to test whether the plant could run itself while he napped. It could not. Two city blocks were evacuated. You got hired because your resume said you "worked with computers."
Your training lasted four hours. Chuck, the plant supervisor who smells of diesel and disappointment, pointed at gauges and said: "Keep pressure at 165 bar. Too low, no power. Too high, boom. Keep water between 40% and 60%. Too low, tubes overheat. Too high, turbine gets wet. Wet turbines are expensive."
Then he handed you a coffee-stained manual from 1987 and left.
Now you're responsible for keeping the region powered. The grid operator calls every few hours with new demands. Equipment breaks. Systems cascade into each other. If you trip the plant, everyone notices — the news, your boss, that guy who named his cat after a substation.
Keep the lights on. Keep your job.
What you doManage boiler pressure, drum water level, coal feed, and cooling while responding to grid demands and equipment failures in real-time. Change one thing, watch three others respond. Make decisions fast when faults cascade.
The game10-shift campaign with progressive difficulty
Controls unlock gradually (Shifts 1-5)
Equipment degrades, you choose what to repair
Graded A-F on performance
Continuous Mode unlocks after Shift 5 (endless operation, see how long you last)
21 types of equipment faults
Systems interact—pressure affects power, drum level affects steam, failures cascade
The aesthetic Authentic 1980s green phosphor CRT terminal. Character-based interface. Keyboard controls. The kind of screen that gave operators eyestrain but kept plants running for decades.
You will fail whenPressure spikes. Drum level drops. Multiple faults hit simultaneously. You panic. The turbine gets wet (expensive).
By Shift 10 you'll either feel competent or understand why Earl took that nap.
This is notA realistic power plant simulator (it's a game)
Factorio-style building (you operate fixed systems)
Forgiving (mistakes cascade, trips end your shift)
DEMOCampaign Shifts 1-4 + 20-minute Continuous Mode sessions
