Automation - Gasmean Kei Cars Ep01 [LCV4.3 Ellisbury Update]

Omg thank you for mentioning the reliability bug, it was driving me crazy for a few days, I was sure I was doing something wrong😂

Comment for algorithm.

Can't wait to see how many Gasmeans will buy a car for their kids to drive on their property! :)

I'm pretty sure with the new engine variant first page you can make a 150cc i3

You know, I can't wait for the day the company makes its first Kei SUV. Because why not? Maybe the Gasmeans would like it.

oh my..
imagine going with an actual kei car in the 1970s against a typical American Gasmean "compact" car of that era.. that has 2.5m wheelbase, its engine hood takes up just shy of half the car's length. comes with a 3.6L I6 standard and has a 5L V8 as a possible option..

Loving this so far!

Honestly, there's a good opportunity to even try out offroad kei cars.🤣It sounds even more ridiculous than what I suggested in your last video.

this is gonna be fun seeing how the market will react when the tit's are for sale for the world to se

Kinda fun watching Killrob make a Nash Metropolitan without realizing it. Missed opportunity though: company name coulda been something like "Lawn Care Plus"

What kind of irl carburator is the eco carb supposed to represent?

660cc v8 in the 60's?

Let's hope you grow quickly, I'd love to see the Spochty Kei car.

One could compare it to a bag of holding, but one could also just say clown car 😂

Awesome to see another Automation lets play. So much has changed since I played properly last. Thanks for bringing me back up to speed. I love the constraints of this lets play.
Thanks Killrob!

That’s a perfekt scenario. Kei-Trucks, -Vans, -Off-roader, -Roadster and Sportscars. Looking forward to more. Keep in mind that you have pretty low power, so try to use a 4-Speed and a shorter 1.Gear. Yours are pretty long to start with (literally speaking 😂)

I was hoping for more of the archanan career

If my tech pool plus country tech pool is above +15 then I try to ai generate a car, the ai can do +16 or +17, but I can't do that manually. Is this a bug?

Commenting for support

Hi Killrob, I want to ask you: could you please make tutorial about WES. In my campain I banckrupted because of emissions fees and I am unable to comply with WES6. My company was in Fruinia.

Gasmean Kei Cars? Amazing!! That's like Fruinian landyachts :D
that would be hard in 4.3 - even harder than ever!

nice challenge, good Gameplay!

prettyy cool but... i would love to see you designing cars ;c

by the way - my Boxer Only Sports Car Factory in Fruinia is still alive and well in the 70s. After your tip I invested heavily into Fuel and Exhaust R&D, so at the moment I have emission credit free, 1976 will change things though. Class 6 will be tricky, Class 5 worked nicely with 2-way cats (so looking forward to 3-way)

I'm really liking the new bodies added for the 40s...a 55 bore and the 50 stroke gives 356cc
for an oversquare, more rev-friendly engine.

Great video; I'm just a bit sad that you didn't design exterior and a BeamNG export.

Great series as always, Kei cars are beautiful vehicles and I'm excited to see where this goes. However, a question I have is, will you ever roleplay a character, like you did for the SuperEco letsplay with Hand-Dieter Krause? For me, that propelled the series from great letsplay to something I went back and watched every year

My excitement is immeasurable, glad to see this game back.

I'm not gonna lie my American brain almost exploded and failed to comprehend what a Gasmean Kei car would even be.

10 minute talking not even start game yet

Actually, kei cars, or more commonly, kei trucks, are becoming popular in America.

Just an FYI but they definitely do exceed 47 kW in the most powerful models, they are just "rated" as such

Wooo smol cars

Volkswagen T3- rear engine rwd van ;)

I love watching you design engines. I'm learning so much! 😁 I love the commentary on the real life reasons (spot heating 😍) why problems in the engine are happening. Your understanding is great and the depth of knowledge you show is appreciated! ❤

You don't want to make a car shaped bag of holding. There's no air in there. It's one of those things that trips new players up.

A bug in the game just cost me my career. Once you hit the mid 70s and need to swap to unleaded, if you don't change the Ron/grade of fuel after it doesn't count the change of leaded to unleaded. So as I left one engine on super fuel it didn't count the change to unleaded and i got smashed with fines even though it showed as unleaded selected. Where this engine was in a few different cars the costs tanked me instantly
