Car Factory Tycoon Beginner Guide
Complete starter walkthrough for new players setting up their first car factory.
Your First 10 Minutes
When you start Car Factory Tycoon, you begin with $10,000, an empty factory floor, and a tutorial overlay. Your first task is to place a Parts Shelf so workers can fetch parts. Click the Build button in the bottom toolbar, select Parts Shelf, and place it near the center of your factory floor.
Place Your First Car Stand
After the Parts Shelf, place a Car Stand. This is where vehicles are assembled. Place it within 2 to 3 tiles of your Parts Shelf. Close proximity reduces worker travel time significantly.
Start Production
Click on the Car Stand and select Model A Sedan from the designer menu. The game shows a 5-step production sequence: assemble frame, install engine, mount wheels, add interior, and final inspection.
Hire Your First Worker
Click the Workers button to open the hiring menu. Your first worker costs a daily salary of $200. Once hired, they automatically fetch parts and begin assembling your Model A.
Build a Parking Spot
Finished cars need somewhere to go. Place a Parking Spot using the Build menu. Once a car is fully assembled, workers move it to the nearest empty parking spot automatically.
Open Sales
Click Sales OPEN at the top of the screen to start accepting walk-in buyers. They browse your showroom and purchase parked cars at market price.
Tips for Success
Always keep your Parts Shelf stocked. Research the Fast Assembly upgrade as soon as possible, it reduces production time by 15 percent across all models.
