Homelab Infrastructure, Simulated Properly

This version is a prototype. There is many unconnected functionality. This is for proof of concept. Stay tuned for the newly ported Unity version. Follow the development on reddit. r/SiliconPirates
I've set the start balance at 5k and all simulation setting such as wattage use, earned crypto are all set either ridiculously high or low on purpose. Any � you see, are image placeholders. You'll have to wait for the Unity version for the real game play : )

I adjusted the ad-revenue popups. All Play buttons are now popup-free. The top navigation links will open a popup to support development, except for Play and Contact, which remain clean.

Core Systems

• Realistic rack power distribution (PDUs, UPS, grid limits)
• Layered networking (routers, switches, DHCP, ISP uplink)
• NAS-backed services with storage growth and failure states
• Terminal-driven control and automation
• Economy system tied to uptime and configuration quality
• Thermal and fault modeling

In-Game Screenshots

These screenshots are taken directly from the active development build. Everything shown, power draw, device state, networking, terminals, LEDs, and failure conditions, is simulated in real time.

This is not a cinematic mock-up or static UI. What you see reflects actual game state, configuration choices, and system behavior as it exists in the current build.

Real clips from the active development build. These are not trailers, this is live simulated state. Click any panel to open full playback.

AI Information / Transparency

One thing that I didn’t think about at first was AI transparency. It’s the new reality, and people (rightfully) want to know if they’re consuming a human creation or AI slop.

I’m a solo dev, so I use AI as a tool, mostly for speed, clarity, and debugging. I’m a 2D artist, but full-on eye-catching game banners aren’t my strongest area, so AI helps me prototype and iterate. I also use AI for math. I hate math.

Service Manuals

Every device in Silicon Pirates ships with internal-style documentation. Learn how systems behave, fail, and recover, just like a real lab.

Community & Feedback

Silicon Pirates is actively developed. If you're having any issues, big or small, please let me know. Player feedback directly shapes systems, devices, and mechanics.

Support Development

Silicon Pirates is built like a real lab: power, networking, storage, failure states, recovery, and terminal workflows that actually change state. That level of simulation takes time, testing, assets, and infrastructure, and I’m building it independently.

If you want to help push this project forward, your support directly funds development hours, device art/skins, sound, hosting, and the “quality pass” work that makes everything feel like a real rack environment, not just a menu.
