After making an engine so big it doesnt fit in a bus and then driving it around in BeamNG i have to say automation is quite a game
so this game was hard to put down for review. im settling on negative. now let me be clear: it is a fun way to build a basic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but the game is fundamentally a 3d editor for beamng. it tries to be more, clearly, but it doesnt hit the mark for anything else. it has great shell editing, but internal editing is broken, your car can sometimes freak out, and while setting up your engine and car design can be fun, what it fundamentally is, is "make number on engine not mean boom, somehow know what size engine bay you have through magic, tack on random junk until you like the look, run it in 2d track, then export to beamng" because thats all there is to my knowledge there is no way to make a custom shell, the year system is cooked, and it just feels...dated if you really like making your own designs this is your game if you like engineering this aint it if you want to hear an engine sing this is your game if you want to hear it sing while driving the car this aint it
Lacking real goals on it's own and the campaign isn't super enticing, but the devs are adding a lot pretty regularly. You better have Beam.NG Drive with this game. The two as a pair are inseparable IMO. Build the cars in Automation, export to Beam and drive them around. One gives a purpose to the other and vice versa.
cool design and engineering game, has a bit of a learning curve but is tons of fun once you learn (personally use it mostly to build vehichles to export to beamng.drive
знаете, отличная игра - все максимально понятно, быстро настраивается, карьера не для меня но простой редактор на 10/10. Раздражает лишь одно, чтобы сделать интерьер в машине нужно продать душу дьяволу, потому что настолько неудобное и настолько интуитивно непонятное управление это отдельная пытка, скорее всего навык придет с опытом, но я со своими 15 часами чуть монитор не разбил когда кресло вылезло из машины
jogo maravilhoso, entrega tudo e mais um pouco, ponto negativo: muito caro
*IF YOU ARE A NEW PLAYER READ THIS* I recently also bought this game and I played it for the first time but I thought I had an issue with objects and fixtures snapping into or out of place and not being able to do interior work but I just didn't see the 3d moving mode, if you also had the same problem it's on the bar of buttons in the middle of screen on the right side. Do not refund this game if you haven't fully found all the features you think it may be missing.
cool game if you are into building cars, or want to know a little bit more about car design,
made a 14L turbo I6 OHV and it became a particle accelerator 10/10 would recommend
