How to play

Grow paying users without melting the hall

Users join every day while you have free capacity and a good reputation, and they churn when service degrades. Time runs in game days, with 1 day equal to about 2 seconds and a month equal to about 60 seconds.

Buy hardware in the Market

Add racks, switches, edge routers, and cooling. Your crew installs every rack in stages, so plan ahead before capacity runs out.

Keep loads under 100 percent

Watch power, cooling, and network on the HUD. Anything pinned at the limit drags uptime down, and uptime protects your reputation.

Survive the incident queue

Hardware failures, thermal runaways, power surges, viral traffic spikes, DDoS attacks, and coolant leaks strike every couple of months.

Growth path

From garage to private hall

Climb from Slabtown Colo ($18,000) to Carrier Hotel ($35,000) or Hyperscale Suite ($60,000), expand your cage, build a power and cooling plant, and finally open your own private datacenter hall with endless pod expansions.

Stage 1

Garage

One rack, one dream. Learn the loop of users, revenue, and uptime.

Stage 2

Colocation Suite

Pick a colo tier, expand your cage, and add switches plus edge routers.

Stage 3

Power and Cooling Plant

Build dedicated plant capacity before heat and load cap your growth.

Stage 4

Private Hall

Open your own hall and scale pod by pod with no fixed ceiling.
