Railborn Glossary
Starter edition: terms below follow the official English naming from the Steam page and official trailers. The list grows as Early Access content is verified.
Railcar
A single buildable car of your train. Stack floors on top and add modules piece by piece.
Branching tracks
The world's railway network. Choosing a branch decides which regions and resources you can reach.
Farms
Onboard plots for rare plants found in the world. Grown crops feed the crew and feed further production.
Power systems
Generators and wiring that move power between modules. A module without power is decoration.
Water
Captured and distributed around the train; farms and survival both depend on it.
Tech upgrades
The upgrade tree that unlocks new modules, tools and capacity as you research.
Naming rules for contributors
Use the official English term everywhere, including image alt text. When the game ships with final localization files, this glossary becomes the reference for every translated page.
