Scrap runs and lucky finds
You leave the yard for abandoned spots packed with junk, load up old vehicles, furniture, and bags of scrap, then haul it all home. Every trip is a small gamble. You might find cash, rare parts, or precious materials tucked in the piles, or just a truck full of low-value trash. Back at the yard, you decide what gets crushed, what gets sorted, and what is worth saving.
Crushers, sorters, and second chances
Processing is the core work. You feed scrap through crushers and recycling machines, sort materials, and set up a production chain that turns junk into sellable resources. The nicer stuff skips the crusher. You repair rusty cars and worn furniture, clean them up, and sell them for more. Running the crane and watching a car fold down into a bale never quite gets old.
From messy yard to junk empire
Money goes straight back into the business. You unlock new zones and work areas, buy and upgrade machines, improve your skills, and automate the steps you used to do by hand. Mysterious containers and unknown shipments add risk: pay up and you might pull something rare, or something worthless. What starts as an empty lot slowly becomes a loud, clanking, fully optimized operation.
Good to know before you start?
Can you play it solo at your own pace?
Yes. It is a single-player yard sim, and the loop is built around working at your own speed: collect, process, restore, sell, then reinvest. There is no pressure to rush, which suits sim fans who like calm, repetitive work with steady progression.
What do you actually operate?
Cranes, car crushers, and recycling and processing machines. Each one handles a different step, from moving heavy scrap to breaking it down into resources, so your profit depends on using the right tool and keeping the workflow tidy.
Are the mystery containers worth it?
They are a gamble by design. A paid container or shipment can hold rare items and useful resources, or plain junk that barely covers the cost. Buy them when you can afford a dud, not when every dollar is earmarked for upgrades.
