OK, after trying out a lot of the already implemented mechanics, I wanna share my feedback as well. Let me start with a confession: I can't remember having bought an Early Access game before. And I'm almost 9 years on Steam. And I usually only ever buy at 80+ % discount, due to my fantastic superpower called "patience". ;-) So why have I bought this game despite being in EA and at a discount I'd usually just skip over? Because of the dev and his style of response. THAT he responds that much is already extraordinary, but I'm way more impressed with the coolness and lightheartedness and not taking things personal even though some reviews are written in an insulting way. That gives me tremendous hope for the future of the game and I want to use the power of my wallet to appreciate and support this style of behavior. On the technical side I don't have issues with the game so far. Little things only, inconveniences, nothing game-breaking (like I've assembled the first own car and I can't find it anywhere). Content-wise there's A LOT of things to do in this game, in a variety I've not seen before yet, so looking forward for the changes to come. The only thing I'd like to see an improvement on - if I could wish for something - would be for the restoration part where you have to hold the mouse button for extended periods of time (for cleaning, polishing, painting, etc.). I've started with computers in 1991 and I'm playing a lot and I'm working on a computer the whole day, but I've never had issues with my arm muscles/tendons, but this made them hurt badly, so I had to pause for a while. I'd highly appreciate some kind of "button locking mechanism", but that's basically my only complaint. Thanks for this wonderful experience, I had a lot of fun so far and I'm exited for what you still have in your quiver.

Been watching this game develop too, for some years. In beginning it was mess , horrible performance and not too much content. But developer has been working heavily on it. Now it's actually running smooth. And there are plenty of activities. So if you see older negative reviews, just ignore them. This game is all about junk. Collect junk from all over map, then sell as materials. That of course involved breaking down junk into smaller pieces with heavy machinery. And towing junk cars and turning em into metal squares. Sometimes junk is not just junk. Some parts can be renovated and sold. Some cars too, can be fixed. Whatever you find, junk or treasures, they can both be turned to cash.

Junkyard Simulator is one of my "Don't Uninstall" games that gets hotfixes, updates, and additional features added to the game fairly often. I've never been disappointed with this game, but when I get pulled into another game from my library, Junkyard Simulator is a great fallback for causal gaming. ...and when I come back there's often a new feature added or its easier to do something in the game than when a last played a few days ago. I truly appreciate the solid dev support with programming, tweaking, and responding to feedback. This demonstrates to me that this is a Passion Project for them! For dev support and the ease of jumping back into gameplay after being away from it for a while ... I'd categorise this game alongside Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 and No Man's Sky. Hardspace Shipbreaker hasn't seen much dev activity for a while since it went 1.0 release, but otherwise I'd also put it alongside these titles. Very easy to return to and addictive while playing. After a long day at work, I don't always want an adrenaline-fueled challenge...sometimes I need an enjoyable experience and an easier win. It feels like fun instead of a grind when I'm cruising around the open world in Junkyard Simulator looking for the specific metals and materials I need to unlock my Steam Achievements as well as to make quest deliveries. It's good that you can follow the storyline guide missions as well as just doing your own thing and exploring ... while breaking stuff! Whether you like the small-scale hands-on of running around with your sledgehammer picking up salvage by hand, or medium scale of clearing out a storage locker full of random treasures & junk to scrap, or large scale where you tow & feed cars into scrap machines or can pick up with the giant electromagnet crane to dump into the compactor ... this game has a lot of ways to get you earning money in the game. The expansion (not a paid DLC ... an actual expansion they released) gives you your own scrapyard you can run and expand on your own that generates passive income while you're out doing everything else I mentioned. There's also renovating and refurbishing that can earn you collectable cars (by finding a scrap junker car and lovingly rebuilding it piece by piece) or you can increase the value of certain items for sale to collector NPCs in the game. Have fun! Give it a try ... and if it's not 100% hitting all your expectations, then just sit tight since the devs continue to work on it until it is meeting community expectations! Seriously, give it a try!
