About the Game

Build Your Shop

Start with a loan, a dream, and one machine.

Cut parts, weld assemblies, grind components, paint finished products, and ship completed orders as you grow your fabrication business from a struggling garage operation into a respected industrial shop.

Hire and Manage Workers

Review applications, hire employees, assign them to stations, and decide who stays and who gets fired.

Train workers to improve their skills, manage payroll costs, and build the crew that will keep production moving while you focus on growing the company.

Upgrade Your Equipment

Replace cheap entry-level machines with professional fabrication equipment.

Increase production speed, improve quality, unlock new opportunities, and expand your operation as your reputation grows.

Win Contracts

Take on fabrication jobs from customers across the region.

Balance material costs, labor expenses, consumables, deadlines, and profit margins while building a reputation that opens the door to larger and more lucrative work.

Send Crews Into the Field

When your company is ready, dispatch road crews to tackle jobs beyond the shop.

Bridge work, structural projects, pipeline repairs, industrial shutdowns, and specialty contracts can bring big profits—but also big risks.
