What is Junkyard Simulator?
This early-access, single-player junkyard simulation takes place across an open map, where you start with little and work to make money. Explore on foot or in vehicles, collect and process scrap, tow and crush abandoned cars, and restore items in a workshop to sell.
For you if...
- +you like relaxed, self-directed work without time pressure
- +you enjoy exploring an open map for salvage
Not for you if...
- −you prefer tightly guided progression over open-ended tasks
- −you want a game focused entirely on car repair
