Steam City

With steam power came a new height of entrepreneurship. Hobbyists from all background, most of them patroned artists and inventors, began tinkering with steam engines and hand crafted parts of copper and brass to create inventions for every need and want. For many, their artistic background had a major showing in their inventions which bore beautiful curves and details throughout their design. These inventions however did not keep them from filling their city with extravagant buildings, gardens, and parks. The hiss of old steam valves still releasing pressure from boilers is ambient noise to many parts of the city, in some areas such as the manufacturing street it is in fact a danger. Here workers slaved through soot covered roads between tinkering workshops manufacturing the most common steampowered machines for their employers.

Light Sources
Light, fed by lines of natural gas, cast a warm glow on the streets and the insides of some buildings throughout the city. Other areas lie in the darkness having been lit in the past by candles or hand carried lanterns.

Power Source
Coal was burned to create steam in massive boilers which would eventually rotate an engine shaft to automate the various mechanism throughout the city. Because of this coal soot still sits on the abandoned buildings in many districts, especially those near major worshops.

Hazards
When the city was abandoned, coal depots were left un-attended. When the Reclamation machine broke the surface it shattered this depots clashing metals ignited the resulting coal dust, causing explosions and igniting many fires. This resulted in many boilers and steam pipes becoming re-pressurized as the fires reheat the water within. The disturbance seemingly brought the city back to life as many of the old machines began working again as if they hadn't ever been stopped. Spaz must must avoid high pressure steam jets, steam powered pistons, massive machinery, and the many inventions of the past that are once again running.

Water
Old water tanks and burst boilers still hold plenty of water along with many pools of water that can be found scattered through the city and its gardens. Water found dripping from broken pipes is also a common site after the Reclamation Machine's crash.
