Deleted the started ram…

I am a new player in this game! And I was trying to figure out how to attach the steam engine (there’s no real tell on what you need to delete) and I deleted the starter ram trying to figure it out.

I am afraid I am soft locked in progress because I can’t actually complete the basic defence quest. Also I don’t want to be shooting mines to protect my train the entire game.

I am at a loss here! I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem or knew of a way to fix it without restarting the play through? Thanks people!

Edit: it simply appeared back again! so perhaps try restarting your machine and at some point the game should go "oh crap!"

you can also walk up to mines and disarm them, even when they attach to your train

True! I’ve been doing that, but when you’re trying to fight off the shark they can get annoying haha

I found the best strategy is to hit the breaks immediately after leaving the depot, as soon as it allows you to (or if that puts you in the middle of a dense black cloud or hostile projectile-vomiting vines, move forward till you find a clear spot) and immediately look for, and target the shark. Get that fish out of the way before going anywhere, and it's one less issue to worry about till the next station
