Some engine part suggestions
Posted: Fri Mar 18, 2016 1:46 pm
I've owned and played Automation for quite some time now, and I find it's a wonderful game. And although it's still in early development, I understand more stuff is due to be added, which is the whole reason of this suggestions sub-forum (right?). One thing I've been quite disappointed about is the exclusion of superchargers to date. I know that some previous threads have been created about it, but I find it would create much more diversity in terms of engine styles, power, design, etc. For the inclusion of superchargers, I would see the need for an option to select gear ratio, i.e. crank gear to charger gear. I would also think different styles supercharger would be a good inclusion, like roots, centrifugal, etc.
Continuing on from the 'different style' type of thing, where's the love for twin-scroll turbos? Or variable geometry? Or single turbo on v8 and v6? These variations I see would also add some nice design options for different cars in different economy's or targeted brackets.
And one other thing I've thought of - boost by gear/speed. Specifically for tuning the engine once it's in a car (i.e. dyno tuning - another thing that I see should be added as engine performance changes when it's popped into a car), so you could slowly ramp up boost for better grip, constant(-ish) acceleration among other things.
Just some suggestions I think would be great inclusions into the game.
Also, first post!
