Depots and destinations
Second Wagon Components
Prepare the listed components before a depot stop to add the second wagon platform.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Second Wagon Components
Craft components aboard the train; attach the wagon at a depot trackside building console.
Before you go
- Smelter, Workbench, and Laboratory access.
- Four iron ingots, two springs, two bolts, two bearings, and eight wood.
- Fat and chemicals for the Laboratory grease step.
Farming steps
- Gather scrap and wood, then smelt enough scrap to make four iron ingots.
- At the Workbench, craft two springs and two bolts using the displayed recipes.
- Collect fat from suitable Void wildlife and keep chemicals for Laboratory processing.
- Use the Laboratory recipe to turn fat and chemicals into grease, then craft two bearings at the Workbench.
- Keep eight wood unspent for the new platform floor.
- At a depot, interact with the trackside console and select the platform upgrade.
- Lay eight wood floor tiles on the attached frame before placing stations.
- Check each crafted component in storage before leaving for the depot.
- Empty wagon frames cannot hold stations until you install floor tiles.
Repeat, collect and use
This is a one-time preparation loop for the second wagon; later wagon recipes may differ, so check their displayed requirements.
Common mistakes
- Trying to add the platform while traveling; expansion uses the depot console.
- Forgetting grease in the bearing chain; prepare it at the Laboratory from fat and chemicals.
- Spending the floor wood on fuel or other building; reserve eight before docking.
When to stop or switch
Stop farming these exact inputs once the frame is attached and floored; switch to the next upgrade’s displayed recipe.
