How it feels

A calm, methodical first-person simulation where you sort scrap, restore items, and gradually grow a junkyard empire.

What players say

Players enjoy the addictive loop of scrapping, renovating, and selling, but many say the economy needs balancing and worker AI is broken. A late February 2026 update fixed a travel freeze, though some still report the game feels like an early beta.
