About This Game

Design the cars of your dreams, and build an automotive business empire with them! Choose to make cars that evoke excitement and set the imagination alight, or cars that are the literal wheels the world’s economy rolls upon; with Automation, the possibilities are limited only by your imagination!



Automation is an automotive design simulator, featuring vehicles and technologies from 1946 to 2020. Use Automation’s unparalleled engine and car design tools to create your perfect car, then build and market them to a car-hungry public in the Campaign Mode! Export your creations to BeamNG.drive (sold separately) with the one-click export tool and share them with others, or experience them for yourself on the road and on track!

Realise your dreams with one-of-a-kind car design tools.




In Automation, players use the comprehensive engine and car design tools to turn their ideas into reality; shape, cut, re-shape and adorn thousands of car bodies with a wide variety of lights, mouldings and other parts to achieve the style you want. Design the perfect engine to go in your car; whether it is a large, powerful V12 or a small, efficient inline-3, nearly all common engine layouts are possible!

Test your business skills by selling your designs in Campaign Mode.




Automation’s Campaign Mode starts in 1946, where players test their design skills in a deep simulation of the automotive industry. Build factories and equip them with the facilities and equipment they need, and research cutting-edge technologies to turn your fledgling company into a titan of the industry, by catering to the needs and desires of dynamically-simulated market demographics.

Export your cars to BeamNG.drive.




Export your creations to BeamNG.drive (sold separately) with Automation’s easy-to-use car exporter to drive, race and crash them yourself!

Compare your lap times against Automation's AI and your friends in BeamNG.drive with the co-developed Automation Test Track featured in both games, and share your creations in the BeamNG.drive Mod Repository.

Participate in Automation’s passionate and active community.




Automation has a large community of 3D modellers creating mod content for the game, with hundreds of free mods available on the Steam Workshop, and more being added every day.

This isn't you're typical game, its just a car building simulator, and pairs amazingly with BeamNG drive, where you can port over you're creations to drive them. the game is still in beta, but it has been for many years now, don't expect that to change anytime soon. there are some quirky bugs/features too, some mechanics are not perfectly ironed out, and the engines don't really sound differnt from one another. for example, a 4.0 liter V8 might just sound like a smaller 5.0 liter V8, despite having a different set of heads, exhaust setup, or whatnot. one of my biggest gripes is the supercharger whine, ALL superchargers, regardless of their setup/type sound the same, and have an annoying whine that cant be changed. Don't get me wrong, i absolutely LOVE a good supercharger whine, like that on a hellcat IRL, but the whines in this game are annoying, and kill my vibe.

I absolutely love this game. Ever since I started sketching my own cars quite a while ago, I’ve been looking for something like this: a relatively easy way to create my own cars—not just in 2D, but also in 3D—and engineer them with a lot of detail. If you’re either too lazy or just not smart enough to learn Blender and study engineering (or both, like me), this is exactly what you’ve been looking for. I mean, yes, you can’t make a car that is 100% your own—unless you create a completely custom body using 3D elements provided in mods or just the base game—but still. Every time I open Automation, it’s a great experience, getting to work on a project. That said, there are some bad things about this game, and sometimes even about its community as well. The campaign mode is very complicated. It’s pretty realistic, but since there are basically no tutorials, many people (myself included) believe it’s too complex for a normal person (who just wants to have some fun and s...

Test track reliability requirements are stupid. Been a fan of the game for years but this is dumb. Why does my car with no error messages not meet the reliability requirements? Stupid

Do YOU want to feel like a scummy 1980's american car megacorp? Do YOU want to build machines that are unsafe for the road and shouldnt be allowed even near asphalt? If you said "Why would i possibly think that...?" Buy this game!
