For
Players curious about machinery and systems
Worth noticing
The site offers Dev, Simulation, and Bench views of rooms, objects, brands, and simulation nodes.

Field notes

The page describes machinery as interactive rather than decorative: instruments display values, switches operate, and alarms help players work out what has failed. It links to Dev, Simulation, and Bench views described as text and data views of the game’s model. The project identifies its code as GNU GPL version 3 or later and notes that some bundled media have separate licenses.
