About
Start from nothing and build your own junkyard empire in a realistic first-person simulation of recycling, restoration, and business management.
In Junkyard Builder, you take over a run-down scrapyard and turn it into a thriving industrial operation. Search for valuable items, process materials, restore forgotten treasures, and grow your business step by step. Every piece of junk has potential — if you know how to use it.
Your journey begins with a small, neglected yard and limited tools. Explore, collect, and process scrap to generate income, then reinvest your earnings into better equipment and upgrades.
Turn worthless junk into valuable resources and build a self-sustaining business driven by smart decisions and efficient workflows.
Leave your yard and venture into diverse locations filled with abandoned items and hidden opportunities. Each trip can reward you with:
Old vehicles waiting to be salvaged
Furniture ready for restoration
Hidden valuables like cash, rare items, or precious materials
Every expedition is a gamble — will you strike gold or come back empty-handed?
Processing scrap is at the heart of your operation. Sort materials, use specialized machines, and optimize your production chain to maximize profits.
As you progress, unlock advanced equipment and automation systems that will transform your scrapyard into an efficient industrial powerhouse.
Not everything belongs in the crusher. Many items can be repaired, upgraded, and sold for a higher price.
Bring damaged objects back to life — from rusty cars to worn-out furniture — and turn them into valuable products that boost your income.
Take risks by investing in mysterious containers and unknown shipments. Inside, you might find:
Rare and valuable items
Unique resources
Or completely useless junk
It’s a system that adds unpredictability and excitement to your progression.
Operate a variety of heavy machinery and tools, including:
Cranes
Car crushers
Recycling and processing machines
Each device plays a key role in your workflow and requires proper use to maximize efficiency.
Expand your scrapyard and grow your business:
Unlock new zones and working areas
Purchase and upgrade machines
Improve your skills and efficiency
Automate key processes
What starts as a small operation can evolve into a large-scale, fully optimized recycling empire.

Шикарная игра, я бы поставил 4 звёзд, было бы 5 если бы графику чуть подтянули, а так в принципе топовая игрушка мне понравилось копошиться в мусоре. 👍👍👍

Abwechslungsreich. Möbel waschen, neu lackieren. Falls mal Türen vom gleichen Schrank fehlen, kann man die wechseln. (also von 2 mach eins). Dann die anderen Sachen alle recyceln macht viel Spaß. Rundum ein gelungenes Spiel.
:)
The only thing I disliked is the autoload feature on the cart. I wish it would only autoload from the front of the cart, and not the sides when you walk past other items. I would recommend this to anyone who likes simulator games.
I love this game, it's not much different than any other (enter simulation situation and you do that job) game, but I like the way this one has been implimented. I do hope that there will be more places to visit in future. I'm also REALLY hoping the lighting situation on site will get some love. Fair enough if areas you visit don't have much lighting, but at base - Vehicles, Crane, Machines - Plus a bigger and better flashlight to upgrade would be fantastic. I think that's my only gripe at the moment. But as that stands, I really enjoy this game. Just needs a few tweaks right now and I'd be happy to wait for more content if that's in the plan. Well done Dev's Edit: Please fix the Cranes magnet, I will have the magnet over a pile of scrap, and a 100kg block will fly across the map and attach to the magnet, ruining all my piles. This was painful, going to stop playing until the next update. This kinda put a bad taste in my mouth, especially as it was recently full released. Still love the game.
