Gas giants are where you'll skim your fuel from in Starship Simulator, so we're keen for that experience to be epic every time. You'll also be able to fly down a few layers into the gas giant's atmosphere, because science! Each layer gets progressively darker and more fluid-like as you descend.

The new galaxy system is almost finished. Genesis - is now faster, smoother, much more optimised, and every star visible to the naked eye from Earth is now in the data, amongst so many other things! Including Multi Star systems 👇

Happy Pride from Studio 346! A lot of our team is LGBTQ+ and allies who support them, and Century of Steam wouldn't be possible without their dedication. Railroading is our passion & we want to provide an informative, welcoming environment for all to enjoy it. Be safe, be loved, and be you. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

had I not seen that it was planetary landings or related to starship sim I probably would have passed it as a garden

Studio 346 would like to wish you all a very Happy Spoopy Day! May you all strike it rich at the candy mines tonight!

A Halloween Post from Studio 346, featuring an in-game screenshot of the upcoming railroad game Century of Steam. Green text reads: "Happy Halloween from Century of Scream!" A ghostly 1910s automobile on rails looms over an autumn graveyard scene. Rico and Doloroes, the game's cartoon goat and deer mascots, respectively, are posed in the scene. Dolores is wearing a pointy witch hat and flying through the air on a coal scoop as if it were a broom, and Rico is hanging on for dear life.

Here’s a shot from the interior of the new VIF. This is the OVI Cell (Off Vehicle Integration). Structure is complete. Now installing the hydrazine, pneumatic and electrical systems.

Shiny new infrastructure at SLC-3, VSFB California. Heading towards being able to start launching Vulcan from the west coast soon.

Only a little more impressive 🤣 The full scale VLP isn't nearly as cool as the subscale MLP

CheckRide @checkride.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

RocketShip is 82 foot on the beam 312 foot on the length, both dimensions exceed the size of the aux lock

CheckRide @checkride.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Subscale Vulcan CERT-1 looked good, when will it be launching payload to subscale Earth? 😅

020

CheckRide @checkride.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

nope, Rocketship is just barely too large to fit in the auxiliary lock

CheckRide @checkride.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

im sure math and predictions could be done to see what crazy patterns we could get but whats the fun in that? you're not actually launching anything 😅

CheckRide @checkride.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

Im here for it! Would be interesting to push that even more just to see what the bullseye chart(s) looks like 😅

CheckRide @checkride.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

in learning more about meteorology... weather patterns are quite fascinating... also, the urge to storm chase is SO REAL...

CheckRide @checkride.bsky.social · 29/06/2025

ah ok, dont think I've ever seen that on your bullseye posts

CheckRide @checkride.bsky.social · 29/06/2025

That spiral is quite interesting... Would that be caused by Atlas V spinning during deployment?

...I do plan on watching all the Project Kuiper launches with my own eyes instead of behind a camera lens

CheckRide @checkride.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

Tempted to collect Project Kuiper challenge coins, I have the one from the protoflight, went to Port Canaveral and saw 1, sadly 2 was at a not so convenient time for me to drive to the Port and watch, got a decent enough view from my backyard though...

CheckRide @checkride.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

well now we know what will be on future Project Kuiper challenge coins

CheckRide @checkride.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

does is spell out "Project Kuiper"

CheckRide @checkride.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

does the binary mean anything on the coin?

Do I need to point my fans at the stack to cool it off? 😅

such an amazing rocket! looking to see Atlas fly once again on Monday, got fans ready just in case 😅

Interactive Holo-Display The Holo Display is now interactable, allowing you to click celestial objects in 3D space to target them on sensors. The goal is for the Captain to mirror any bridge station to the Holo Display and issue crew commands via a context-aware 3D UI menu. #spacegame #devlog

Hello all, this weekend the team met to discuss deliverables & determined they'd benefit from a bit more time to get May's dev vlog ready, there's a lot of new stuff going in so we'll be posting that to the Patreon about a week or so into June. In the meantime, here's what we were working on today!

As a group of folks who care deeply about the preservation & interpretation of railroad history, artifacts & locations, we're deeply saddened by the suspected arson that destroyed the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad's high bridge. So we decided to do something about it: www.patreon.com/posts/in-tim...
