I will admit right now, I love cars and I know how to do the basics plus, but playing this game I've realized how little I know about how every component works. I was wondering if there was any more specific tutorial? I've been trying to figure out the proper combinations, but for the most part there are certain components that I haven't quite figured out what other pieces are affected by and how they are affected. It would also be nice to see the full statistics on what each part does. I know that would be unfair to release the entire stats of all the parts and then just have people punch the numbers in and find the best combo, but it would be nice to see percent change on each area that the part affects in-game.

Nice idea, but pretty much impossible to do for most parts...
Automation is a game of emergent behavior. Parts do have stats, but how they work together we have very limited control over.
There is almost no "if this slider is at 50%, and that one at 80%, then BLA". Or well, there is partially, but even with the limited
content there is right now, the combinations are practically endless if you don't go to extremes. What stuff does already is said
in the game, the rest is up to the player's brain to work out. We definitely don't try hiding anything useful from the player.

Okay, that makes sense. I'll go through the walkthrough that's currently on the game a little more thoroughly, hopefully I'll get a little better as I play more. Thanks for the quick response too! I don't think I've ever had a game forum where the developers are as in-touch with the players as you guys are!
