About this game
Build, cable, and grow a living data center from the ground up. Start with bare floors, buy racks, servers, and switches, then physically place and stack your hardware the way you want. Run Ethernet between ports to shape your network by hand and watch data spring to life: every customer’s traffic appears as colored packet-balls rolling along your cables, revealing bottlenecks, idle links, and beautifully tuned throughput at a glance.
Customers arrive with app requirements and capacity targets. It’s your job to connect enough servers to each customer app, balance load across racks and switches, and keep the data flowing. As you successfully process customer data you earn money to expand, XP to unlock more capable devices, and reputation to attract bigger, more demanding clients. Hardware ages, too—servers and switches have end-of-life and can break—so design for uptime: keep services reachable even if devices on the path die, swap out failing gear, and build redundancy with servers that can use multiple network connections.
Tinker for perfect layouts or move fast to hit deadlines; either way, this is a tactile builder where every cable matters and every improvement is visible. No complex command lines—just the satisfying click of ports, the hum of stacked servers, and a vibrant river of packets proving your design works, even under failure.
Key features
Hands-on data center building: buy racks, servers, and switches; stack hardware and route Ethernet by hand.
Visual networking: see packets as colored balls per customer, making flow, congestion, and capacity instantly readable.
Customer-driven goals: connect enough servers to each app to meet requirements and keep contracts running.
Progression that rewards good design: process data to earn money, gain XP to unlock new devices, and build reputation to attract new customers.
Reliability and maintenance: devices have lifespans and can fail—plan replacements, manage downtime risk, and keep services online.
Redundancy that matters: give servers redundant connections and create alternate paths so traffic stays reachable when a switch or link dies.
Evolve your layout: upgrade hardware, recable to remove bottlenecks, and scale your floor from scrappy beginnings to a bustling operation.
Immediate feedback: every placement, failure, connection, and upgrade changes how packets move—optimize by watching the network breathe.
Build it your way, wire it your way, and grow from a single rack to a reputation that attracts the biggest clients—all powered by a network you can literally see working, surviving hiccups and hardware end-of-life along the way.

1.1.9 - Design room and fixes
New: Design room - You can setup the rack as you want and save it, it will then show as item in the shop, and when you place it on the rackmount it will create the whole setup including cables(inside rack). It is 20% more expensive than if you place it yourself.New: Money reward for finishing Service requestsFix: improved code for displayed IOPS conversion (X999 issue)Fix: DENY VLAN check did not run on user created VLANs on routerFix: For Internet VLAN check the router VLAN was not translated correctly. And only the default customer VLAN was considered on the path.Fix: Shop is now dynamically resized based on the items inside. (When you had many mod items or custom racks you could not scroll down enough)Fix: ECMP broke the LACP logic from customer base to first switch (connection worked over multiple cables without LACP group)Fix: Loading save from within the Design room will make player exit the design roomRead full article on Community Announcements (Waseku)AnnouncementsOfficial
Fixes v1.1.8
Fix: items from shop now spawn only after clicking checkout - solves Coop issue where second player could pick up item.Fix: Evaluation for Network with Default DENY VLANs caused stutter.CoopFix: Wrong resolution in coop when inserting the router and firewall in the rackFix: Cables runned by more people at same time caused issuesFix: Authoritative push of economy from host (to make sure XP, money rep is always same for all players)Fix: Video tutorials are now turned offFix: LACP syncedFix: Container doors syncedFix: Objectives syncedFix: Labels syncedFix: EOL was running only on host, clients now runs the visual EOL part as wellRead full article on Community Announcements (Waseku)AnnouncementsOfficial
ECMP number of paths choice, VLAN DENY as default choice v1.1.7
New: Exposed number of ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path) paths in Pause menu->Other. Default is 16. Based on your setup you might want to either lower the number for faster evaluation or increase if you want/have more complex network with many equal paths between devices.New: Added option in Pause menu->Other to set network switches default VLAN policy to DENY. And button to move all VLANs on existing switches to DENY, if the DENY list is empty.New: VLAN ID shown in network switch configuration next to Server IPFix: VLAN ID in asset management correctly shown if routed with \ to hint this VLAN is from routerCoopFix: cabling check caused clients cable be rejected on host.Read full article on Community Announcements (Waseku)AnnouncementsOfficial
Evaluation real improvements, Co-op fixes, MacOS cloud sync v1.1.6
