Our take on Junkyard Simulator
The store page presents a wide range of junkyard activities, from vehicle restoration to exploration and machinery, while also identifying the game as in development and mentioning future mechanics. That makes the current scope less definite than the activity list suggests.
What is Junkyard Simulator?
Junkyard Simulator puts players in charge of a junkyard, starting with limited resources and choosing how to make money.
Activities include processing metal with machinery, collecting scrap, restoring abandoned cars, renovating furniture and car parts, and selling recovered or repaired items at the Scrap Market. A tow truck can move abandoned vehicles for compression, while other vehicles support travel and junk transport. Exploration involves searching containers for randomly generated loot and finding hidden treasures. Players can also strip engines, operate conveyor belts, transfer junk, and take extra tasks from people. The game presents several routes through its junkyard economy, including selling large quantities of small items or repairing a vintage car.
