These components are naturally strung together by the game’s goals, made to be user-friendly and intuitive to use. In game, time advances at the pace the player chooses and pauses automatically for events and occurrences.Īutomation is comprised of three major game components - the Engine Designer, the Car Designer and the Company Manager. The player’s tasks are to design engines and cars, to manage factories, production, Research and Development, as well as advertising campaigns. All types of car manufacturers can be led to success if managed properly building the right image over the years is key.

Steam Early Access Trailer (Published on but were able to merely scratch the surface. ![]() It is you who designs everything from the very core that is the engine, over the chassis, to the suspension and the car's looks. Automation is currently in active beta, so it is functional (with occasional errors) and is improving day by day.Automation is a car company tycoon game in which you design and build cars from scratch. The game is very open and there are a ton of free add-ons available that expand the selection of body styles and design elements that are available to you. At the end of this you can simulate how the car will perform on some standard test tracks (one of which is the Top Gear Airfield track). Returning to the car, you can also modify stuff like transmission types, gear-ratios, tires, interior trim level, safety features and so on. You can tune the engines for the desired application (high-revving powerhorse / frugal commuter / off-road) by modifying stuff like compression ratios, cam profiles, fuel system, intakes and exhaust etc. You choose the engine materials (iron, Alu, AlSi) and technologies (DOHC, VVL), bore, stroke and so on. Currently only I4, I6, V6, V8 & V12 engines are available, but more are on the way. You can design engines as part of the car design or separately. You can modify the standard bodies using the mouse to stretch, pinch and otherwise mould it to your liking. From that point on, you move into the nitty-gritty of designing your car - the chassis type (ladder/monocoque), front suspension, rear suspension, engine location (FF, FR, MR etc). Once you've selected the start year, you can then proceed with choosing a platform (sedan, sports, SUV etc.) and then choosing the specific body-style within the platform (2-door, hatchback, pickup etc.). The technologies available to you will depend on your start year - don't expect to design 10,000 rpm V12 DOHC with fuel injection in 1940. The start year can range from 1940 (classic cars) to 2020 (future cars). You start the game by first choosing the start year for the design. On the other hand, if you want a more fun car, here's my hot-hatch design with a 1.4L 220hp turbocharged straight-4 which does very well against the Ford Focus ST. In fact, you can't drive the cars at all.Īutomation is more like a sandbox environment where you design engines and cars to specs that you like.įor example, here's my design that I call the HK ("Huayra Killer" ) which is an all-out hypercar with a 5.0L 827hp V12 and goes around the Top Gear track in 1:09.77. Unlike most other car games out there, the focus here is less on driving the cars and more about designing them. ![]() I'm a bit surprised that one of my favourite games is not here - " Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game".
