Autonaut's Free 'Industrial Revolution' Expansion Out Now

The next free content update, Industrial Revolution, is out now for Autonauts on PC. As the name suggests, the additions to the game put a focus on coal powered machinery and the production of complex, automated railway networks. In addition to this, Steam Workshop support brings user-created scripts, upgrades, buildings and more to the experience. Check out the trailer above for a closer look.
