This paper analyzes Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game as a high-fidelity simulation of the automotive industry. It focuses on the game's two primary pillars: the , which utilizes real-world engineering constraints, and the Grand Campaign , which simulates global market dynamics, consumer demographics, and industrial logistics from 1946 into the near future. 1. Introduction: The Simulation Philosophy

Automation serves as an educational tool for understanding the complexity of the automotive world. By archiving the evolution of car technology over 70 years, it highlights the shift from raw mechanical power to digital efficiency and globalized logistics.

: Players must design production lines. Large-scale "Mass Production" reduces unit costs but requires massive upfront capital, simulating the economies of scale inherent in the 20th-century auto industry. 4. The "BeamNG.drive" Integration This paper analyzes Automation: The Car Company Tycoon

: Players must manage variables such as thermal efficiency, octane requirements, and material stresses. For instance, choosing forged internals allows for higher RPMs but increases production costs and engineering time. and material stresses.

A unique feature of Automation is its export functionality to BeamNG.drive. This allows players to "test-drive" their creations in a soft-body physics environment. This bridge between a tycoon simulator and a driving simulator provides a feedback loop where engineering flaws (like poor weight distribution or brake fade) are physically manifested. 5. Conclusion

The depth of the simulation is rooted in its physics-based calculations.
