Title: The Ultimate Automotive Design & Business Simulator
Unlike pure car builders, Automation challenges you to sell these machines to a simulated population.
Version 4.2.13 is part of the "Lightweight" campaign series—a precursor to the much-anticipated "Kei" and full campaign updates. While the full, decades-spanning campaign mode is still in development, this version offers a robust "Lite" campaign that takes players from the post-war era to the modern day.
The historical context is vital. As the years progress in-game, the technology available to you evolves. Safety regulations tighten, emission standards become stricter, and consumer tastes shift. Navigating the oil crisis of the 1970s requires a completely different strategy than the horsepower wars of the 1960s. It forces the player to adapt, scrap successful designs, and innovate.
Automation - The Car Company Tycoon Game v4.2.13 is a mature, stable, and deeply satisfying iteration of a game that has been in Early Access for nearly a decade. It finally feels "feature complete" in the tycoon sense, while the sandbox mode remains limitless.
The update’s focus on factory automation mechanics and BeamNG physics parity closes the last major gaps in the gameplay loop. You no longer feel like you are guessing whether a car is good; the game shows you exactly why it fails, down to the specific harmonic vibration in the driveshaft.
If you have ever looked at a car and thought, "I could design a better suspension," stop thinking. Buy v4.2.13. Just be prepared to lose 200 hours to a virtual company that only exists to build a mid-engined V10 prototype that ultimately bankrupts you. It is glorious.
System Requirements (V4.2.13 Update):
Where to Buy: Available on Steam as a standalone title. Note that the BeamNG.drive exporter requires ownership of the base BeamNG.drive game on the same PC.
This version of Automation - The Car Company Tycoon Game is part of the "Supercharger" update cycle, which brought significant overhauls to the game’s core engine and mechanics. Here are the key highlights and context for version Engine & Graphics: This era of updates focused on the transition to Unreal Engine 4.27
, which improved stability and paved the way for more complex car body deformations and better lighting. Forced Induction Revamp:
A major part of the 4.2 series was the "Supercharger" update, which finally integrated functional superchargers (Centrifugal, Roots, and Twin-screw) alongside a more realistic turbocharger simulation. Campaign Mechanics: This version refined the Lite Campaign V3
, including more nuanced market demands and better feedback on why your cars are (or aren't) selling in specific regions like Gasmea or Fruinia. BeamNG.drive Export:
