Automation then checks with Steam which mods are Installed and Subscribed to, and moves those to Steam\steamapps\common\Automation\GameData


I was looking at previous versions of the Steam\steamapps\common\Automation\GameData folder. There is one weird thing though, earlier in the same day, maybe a 2-3 hrs earlier before I discovered that my fixtures were missing, I was finishing a design on a car and I had all of my fixtures from the steam workshop. There is one thing though. Before I discovered my steam workshop mods missing my old pc (2009 old) overheated, shut everything down and somehow may of deleted the steam fixtures when I was playing a completely different game that is also on steam.

Edit: I have manage to fix it properly by deleting everything I copyed over from the previous version of the gamedata folder aswell as deleting all the folders from here: Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\293760 and finaly validating the game cache and letting the game download the steam workshop mods once again. After loading up the game once, all the files are where they should be (Steam\steamapps\common\Automation\GameData). Thankyou for your help in trying to fix my issue. :D

Re: Open Beta [B150918]

I occasionally have a problem putting on fixtures, such as handles and tail lights.

What I do is select one handle/taillight and place it, then select another and it changes the first one, if it even allows me to select a new one.

Re: Open Beta [B150918]

for the no mods issue it happened to me before aswell, nothing got them to download but one day they did without reason, i think i signed into steam offline once while it was happening but i doubt that was the fix

Hey Killrob, I don't get you. What are you meaning with Game Save Path?

When I want to startup the game from Steam I get the choiche of two options(See my 1th picture):
- Automation - Play The Car Company Tycoon Game
- Play Automation - No Option Menu

When I choose the first option: The game does startup(processes Windows task manager), but doesn't show at my screen(2nd picture).

Then I choose the second option, first it shows the Windows Command Prompt(picture from the previous post). Where I have to press a random key, the game startup in windowed screen(see 3th picture).
When I am in the game, I get lots of lua errors (4th picture).

Re: Open Beta [B150918]

I was messing around with my rear-engined coupe from Conedodger240's last competition, and I noticed a problem with the headers in the car:

The error doesn't show up in the Engine Designer:

...so I'm guessing it's related to the car being rear-engined.

Looks like the turned the engine around, and forgot to check that the headers got to the correct place.
