help GearCity FAQ

Can you design individual engines and car bodies in GearCity?

Yes, GearCity lets players design engines, chassis, gearboxes, and complete vehicle models rather than selecting only preset cars. Engineering choices affect performance, manufacturing cost, reliability, and how well a model fits its intended market.

What year does a GearCity campaign begin?

A full campaign can begin in 1900, near the birth of the commercial automobile industry. As decades pass, players must react to changing technology, consumer demand, wars, economic downturns, and new vehicle categories.

Is GearCity mainly a factory game or a business game?

It combines both, but corporate management is the larger challenge. Players control factories, branches, pricing, marketing, research, contracts, and finances while deciding which vehicles to build in each market.

How does GearCity differ from Automation?

GearCity emphasizes running a global automobile company across historical decades, including factories, dealerships, labor, and corporate finance. Automation places more emphasis on detailed engine and car engineering, with the optional BeamNG.drive export adding hands-on driving.
