With the public release of the Automation Ellisbury Update, we’re starting another playthrough of the campaign mode. This time around, the theme is diametrically opposed to the nature of our HQ country - we’re building Kei Cars in Gasmea, where anything below 3L capacity is considered a small engine! Is this a viable niche? Will we be the only company not struggling with emissions? We shall find out in this series!

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.

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

Hrrmm, unfortunately, I have to agree with you xD I'll see if I can make that happen. Cheers!

@cnw5330 8 месяцев назад

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..

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

Exactly xD We're running 1/10th of the engine size at that point. Something tells me our company won't be very prestigious in Gasmea haha

@dustyfan22 8 месяцев назад

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

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

Plenty of episodes to watch already :) Enjoy!

@TopaT0pa 8 месяцев назад

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)

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

I'm looking forward to seeing how well we can deal with the emissions regulations :) really shouldn't be an issue as long as we keep to WLTP 1 xD more problematic will be any turbo beasts haha

@sirspoonyr 8 месяцев назад

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

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

Not going to do that this time around, but I think I'll do that again some time... so many remember fondly the adventures of Hans-Dieter Krause! :D

@Forgotten_performance 6 месяцев назад

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

@darkshine5 8 месяцев назад

660cc v8 in the 60's?

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

No, that's against the rules :) maximum capacity in the 60s is still 360cc! 1990 is 660cc

@TrojanOptimus 8 месяцев назад

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😂

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

To clarify: reliability itself isn't bugged and neither are the competitor reliability scores :) that has been verified correct. What isn't correct is how much reliability matters in the market demographics analysis, there it has about twice the effect it should have ´:D

@TrojanOptimus 8 месяцев назад

@@KillrobPlays yes yes, It was confusing when looking at the detailed stats page, I had like 80 reliability and the demographs said low reliability, I thought it was because I did the emission stuff wrong or something.😅

@swecreations 8 месяцев назад

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

@Dangaio 8 месяцев назад

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

@emmonsable 8 месяцев назад

"Yeah, we're the plus part"

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

That would have been a good name, with the plus being misused for all kinds of bonus features!

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

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

The numbers in the forecast look good, so I have my hopes up we'll see a sporty trim already in the second model :)

@MrHamof 8 месяцев назад

20:45 While everything you just said is true, this is a 16hp car. I'm honestly not sure it's fast enough to oversteer.

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

I appreciate the confidence you have in this car's handling and safety :D Just need a good amount of snow and you can powerslide this thing with at least 15 km/h xD

@PockyFiend 8 месяцев назад

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

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

Quite handy indeed, F-150 toy cars :)

@normiukkeli3739 8 месяцев назад

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

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

It is an SU carb :)

@normiukkeli3739 8 месяцев назад

Aaahh so its a variable venturi carb and the normal carb is a fixed venturi carb@@KillrobPlays

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

That is correct, yes! :)

@thecosmickid545 8 месяцев назад

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

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

It is a very contradictory concept for sure! :D

@jimmydesouza4375 6 месяцев назад

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.

@KillrobPlays 6 месяцев назад

@yahyaermaya7496 8 месяцев назад

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?

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

Kinda is and kinda isn't xD +15 or even +13 TP should be pretty much unreachable, but in sandbox it is. Certainly something to fix, +15 is supposed to be the maximum for everyone!

@thestig886 8 месяцев назад

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 😂)

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

Ohh yes, plenty of weirdness we can make happen with this! I wonder if we can make the Fruinians absolutely love us for our light sports cars in the 1970s :D Only to be killed in 1990 by the power limit regulation haha

@Davoda2 8 месяцев назад

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

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

I'm not good at it :) just takes me too long too ':D so I focus on where I can provide the most value.

Volkswagen T3- rear engine rwd van ;)

@xenoyparxi 8 месяцев назад

20:45 you can definitely just tune out stuff with rear toe-in. some production cars can easily have around 0.15 - 0.30 degrees of toe-in on the rear (well if you take them to wheel alignment), ranging from boring hatchbacks to sporty coupes lol

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, that's possible and not too punishing, but I think this one would have needed 0.5 front and rear with a square tire setup xD

@xenoyparxi 8 месяцев назад

@@KillrobPlays I've tried building a rear engine kei car thing with 64hp, and -1.5 camber and 0.35 toe-in on the rear (0s on the front) was enough to bring drivability down to understeer with a square tyre setup. It just doesn't have enough power lol Back in the day of bicycle tyres they also liked giving positive camber on the front to reduce oversteer, might reduce grip on the front that way also. I did give mine a 660cc boxer 4 so in theory it should give a lower centre of gravity as well lol

@ProfesjonalnyYoutuber 8 месяцев назад

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

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

Nah mate, takes me too long and the results are pretty crappy anyway. I'm all about the game mechanics, can't compete when it comes to design and I currently do not have the time for it either. :)

@msk5643 8 месяцев назад

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.

@msk5643 8 месяцев назад

Hi, it's me again. Oh my god the WAS6 in Fruinia is applied in 1976 and Twree-way Exhaust is developed in 1978. That means I need to have research into Exhaust or other way I just don't have time for incorporate Twree-way Exhaust in order to meet WAS6. Oh no this is HARRRRD if you don't know what you are doing :) .

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

Heyya! Hmm maybe I should do a tutorial on that :D It sure is hard when you don't know all the tricks. You don't need 3-way cats though... hint: try reduce compression by like 3 full points and see if that helps, also increase the timing margin slider. :)

@J4J0 8 месяцев назад

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

@Random-nf7qb 8 месяцев назад

I was hoping for more of the archanan career

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

That one will have to rest for now :) if I had more time I'd do both! The Gasmean Kei theme is stronger than the Archanan Tonk Utility, although that's neat too, especially with reliability being as important as it is right now.

@KillrobPlays 7 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! Glad the commentary is useful to you :) Enjoy!

@vitameat 8 месяцев назад

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.

@KillrobPlays 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, plenty of good bodies to choose from now in the early game :) Sure, 55 bore or anything around that revs to the moon xD it's not like other combinations that lead to that capacity don't!

@TopaT0pa 8 месяцев назад

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