With SteamWorld Build being the latest game in the franchise to explore a new genre, chances are, even longtime fans will require some time to grasp the concepts that are in place for the city-builder. With a focus on attending to the people as well as venturing into the mines to search for more useful resources, it is a different kind of game.
However, progress can be given a push with the right purchases, and having the right items in place in the different buildings will provide a passive boost that is always welcomed. For players hoping to make the most out of this system, this guide will be the best place to start.

Best Items to Get at The Train Station in SteamWorld Build
After repairing the train station in town, players will have a great avenue in which to conduct trade for surplus resources. More importantly, a visiting train will always bring three items for sale, so keeping an eye out for the best enhancements can help things go much more smoothly, even in the early stages.
With both money and rubies required for most of the purchases, the more of these resources collected, the more options there are when it comes to the future development of the city. The best items to get at the train station are:
- Gold - Obtain a certain number of Gold using money.
- Rubies - Obtain a certain number of Rubies using money.
- Warehouse Expansions - Increase global storage capacity by 25, with 2-3 more simultaneous deliveries.
- Service Income - Increases the tax bonus of a service by 75 to 150%.
- Production Chance - Confers production bonus of item and increases the speed of production by 50-80%.
- Gold Scavenging - Miners periodically find Gold when digging.
- Tools Scavenging - Prospectors periodically find Tools in the mines.
- Flamethrower - Essential equipment to burn away creep.
- Guard Equipment: Rifle - Increased ranged damage and keeps guards safe from danger.
- Guard Equipment: Bonus Guards - Automatically recruit three Guards to add to the pool.
Equipping Items in SteamWorld Build
Once those items are in possession, the easiest way to equip them to any of the services, refineries, or living quarters is to highlight any of the buildings and go into Edit mode. From there, the game will list out all the possible items that can be equipped.
Be sure to use all the items available so that none of the advantages are wasted during the run. Having this edge can potentially reduce the time required to finish the rocket and the level itself.
