How it all works.

1. Winch: Used to help you reverse the ship.

2. Refuler: Place fuel on the platform where the arrow points up. Press the button with the /.

3. Fire Hose: Puts out fires. HOT HOT HOT! Was told it requires Fuel to put out. (never had a no fuel issue so)

4. Cargo hooks: several around the ship, can hold one item each.

5. Elevator: Gotta go up!

6. Steam Gauge: Don't let it get full!

7. Brake: STOP THE TRAIN CJ!

8. Steam engine throttle: Push in to make the ship to start to move forward, consumes fuel and builds steam. Slowly resets itself.

9. Fuel tank: The stomach of the ship.

10. Respawn point: Has a few hooks and a bed. When you load a save you spawn here.

11. Health Bars and Mileage marker: Health of various parts of the ship. Match the symbol to the corresponding part. Mileage marker carries over each new checkpoint reached.

12. Winch button: More hooks and a winch button. Pulls the forward winch in.

13. Forward Winch: Can pull the ship when your out of fuel.

Sorry for not seeing this but just jump and activate

How do you put stuff on the cargo hooks? "Activate" on the hook the light was hanging from detached the light, but neither "activate" nor jumping will put it back, or put the mailbox on it.

You grab the hose and aim the spray at w/e part is on fire, beware not to strike the furnace opening as it will extinguish your flame stopping you. Which can also be a good thing to do.

They are used for certain parts of the story or to drag your train backwards. Just grab it and drag it until it maxes out

How do you use the hose to put out fires?

How do you use the winches? When I push the front winch button a little wheel out front spins, but nothing happens. Am I missing a part?

@killy.mxi, you need to find a repair tool.

Lighting struck the ship and did a lot of damage (11). How do we do repairs?

@ SamWick
Yes - the more pressure is built up, the stronger the boost.
