What is Junkyard Builder?

You take over a neglected scrapyard in this first-person business simulation. You travel to other locations for scrap, sort and process it with machines, repair vehicles and furniture for sale, and use the earnings to expand the yard and automate work.

For you if...

+you like low-pressure, hands-on resource management
+you enjoy gradually upgrading equipment and expanding a worksite

Not for you if...

−you prefer fast-paced challenges over methodical sorting
−you want varied objectives rather than repeated scavenging trips

What players say

74% of 256 reviews are positive
