You buy the servers and carry them to the rack. You seat them with a click. You run the cable off the spool yourself, find the port, watch it lay across the floor, and power the thing on. Then you sign your first customer and find out whether any of it holds.Underneath the floor is a real simulation. Every server, switch, cable and port is a live entity in a deterministic engine, and the network genuinely switches and routes traffic across it. Power and cooling are budgets you can blow. Capacity is hardware that fills up. When something breaks, it breaks because the model says it should, and the fix is usually the one a real engineer would reach for. That was the whole goal: a build-it-with-your-hands tycoon sim that still holds up if you do this for a living.Get it running, then keep it running. The moment traffic arrives, the simulation starts pushing back.You own the full stack. The metal, the network, the services you sell, and the customers whose product lives on your kit. You're the thing they build on, so everything running on you is yours to keep alive, from the single box in the garage to a floor other companies depend on.The tenants have names, and they hand you their product expecting it to stay up. Reputation is the currency underneath all of it. You earn it slowly and you can lose it in one bad night, and the bigger the customer, the harder that fall lands. Sign a deal you can't carry, pack one host too tight, sleep through an SLA breach at 2am, and the cost isn't only the money. It's the trust that was about to send you the next customer.So every yes is a wager on whether you can carry the new weight without dropping what you already hold. Turning business away is sometimes the correct call. The tenants you keep won't sit quietly either. They surge, they haggle, they show up with deadlines. Keep them happy and they say so out loud, and they bring friends.Customers don't rent "a server." They spin up the things a real cloud sells: virtual machines, object storage, managed databases, Kubernetes, load balancers, serverless functions. Each one is a service you operate. Behind every service is a control plane you have to keep alive and an agent on each host that does the work, and all of it competes for the same compute your customers are paying for.That's where the network grows teeth. Cut a service off from its control plane and it starts to fail. Lean on one too hard and it buckles. Capacity runs out, the network can partition the very services you're selling, and the way you lay it all out is what separates a provider that holds from one that tips over.Typed ports and cables, with real LAG / link-aggregation across member linksManaged L2 and L3 switches forming an actual switching fabric, not one abstract "network" statRSTP that converges, elects a root bridge and blocks redundant ports; loop the network and it stormsOversubscription that bites when you cheap out on uplinksFault domains and single points of failure that are computed, not painted onReachability chains from host to switch to demarc to uplink, gating every allocationEvery service split into a control plane and per-host data-plane agents; partition them and it goes headlessPower draw and wear modelling, so hardware ages and degrades instead of tripping a random death timerCapacity modelled as workload shapes fitting host shapes rather than a scalar barReputation as an asymmetric ledger, with a capacity-fit check before you ever signA deterministic engine: same seed, same run, every time, headless-testable and replay-stableFirst-person, hands-on - walk the floor, carry the hardware, run the cable. You're in the room, not hovering above it.Cabling as a hero mechanic - run every link by hand, with typed connectors, enforced reach and bend radius, and a live edge that carries traffic. Pull it and something goes dark. The way Factorio makes belts feel good.Customers as commitments - reputation earned slowly and lost in an instant, every signup a bet against the capacity you can see.A real cloud to run - VMs, storage, databases, Kubernetes, load balancers and functions, each with a control plane and data-plane agents on your hosts.A simulation that pushes back - ports, power, fault domains, spanning tree, oversubscription and BGP are the actual model.Emergent incidents - severity comes from real customer impact, not scripted labels.Readable for anyone, honest for the pros - one-key jargon toggle over the same systems, no manual required.Difficulty you control - live Easy/Standard/Hard that re-tunes everything, and hard scenarios that won't soften.Breadth of play - campaign, scenario variants, open sandbox, and drop-in community scenarios.Deterministic and mod-friendly - same seed, same run, plain-text scenario files.Game Screenshots Game TrailerSystem RequirementsMinimum RequirementsRecommended RequirementsOSWindows 10 64-bit (1909+)Windows 11 64-bitProcessorQuad-core โ Core i5-8400 / Ryzen 3 31006-core Intel Core i5 (10th gen+) or AMD Ryzen 5Memory8 GB RAM16 GB RAMGraphics4 GB VRAM, Direct3D 12 / Vulkan 1.2 - NVIDIA GTX 1650 / AMD RX 570 / Intel Arc A3806-8 GB VRAM - NVIDIA RTX 2060 / RTX 3060 / AMD RX 6600DirectXVersion 12Version 12Storage3 GB available space5 GB available spaceInstallation GuideNo Installation Needed: The game is pre-installed.
