Empire Water Works is a steam engine simulator based in a water pumping station. Operate and maintain your pumping station day and night, maintain city water pressure and fulfill contracts. Interact with realistic steam, coal-firing, and audio simulation in a vintage setting.
You control the speed (RPM) of the engine, fine-tune the valve gear duration and ensure that lubrication is up to snuff! Running low on bearing oil can cause power loss and bearing damage; running out of steam cylinder oil can damage the cylinder walls, resulting in massive steam leaks and power loss.
Your steam engine exists to pump as much water as possible to the town's three reservoirs: Residential, Municipal and Industrial, with the help of your two massive water pumps downstairs.
Check the reservoir pressures and pump water to maintain their water pressure within the prescribed pressure thresholds.
But be careful! Trying to push too much water flow through the system can cause your water pumps to moan, groan, hammer and experience bolt failures...such failures will need attention ASAP, otherwise critical events such as flooding can occur.
At the beginning of each shift, you'll need to raise boiler pressure and warm-up the massive steam engine's cylinders and clear them of condensate before you can turn it over! You'll also have the opportunity to keep the engine warm overnight by following certain procedures before locking-up the night before...saving you time the next morning!
The main bearings, valve gear linkages, and cylinders all require oil. Do your rounds and don't forget to check the levels frequently!
The boiler is the heart of your pumping station...it supplies precious steam pressure to your steam engine! Make sure you clean out the fire tubes and keep it topped-up with water - you don't want an unscheduled explosion...
The phone will be ringing off the hook! Receive over 40 unique telephone calls, everything from reservoir pressure issues and leaks/fixes, to prank/joke/'foamer' calls and 'advisory' calls based on your current situation.
You'll also use your telephone to order supplies such as coal and steam oil, to keep your pumping operation buoyant!
Don't let that phone ring-out...you might miss a lucrative contract! Successfully pump the required 'contracted gallons' and score funding, reputation boost, and merit points which you can use to apply upgrades!
