I figured I'd make a thread to chat about the game. I've recently gotten addicted to it, there's something just very weirdly satisfying about playing career mode and fixing people's PCs. There have been some fairly amusing bugs along the way, such as when I needed to replace a machine's broken hard drive (it had two) I removed both and reinstalled the good one, and it thought it was repaired. And of course there's the usual cable nonsense, which seems to intensify upon exiting and reloading a save: This PC naturally has cables sticking out the top and side though. Really not sure wtf happened here lol I can't wait until we start seeing motherboard sizes other than ATX, I want to build more stuff inside a Node 202 like I did in real life So what have you done in the game so far? Enjoying it? What do you want added next? Leave your thoughts below!

I never paid much attention to this game and didn’t even notice it was there. Still, I’m intrigued—if they keep the requirements manageable, you could run it on an old MacBook Air or similar device (anything that works). As long as it’s stable and realistic enough, it might serve as a helpful learning aid before people invest in hardware.

The more I observe this game, the stronger my desire becomes. I truly think I should purchase it.

I'll purchase it when the sale starts. It doesn't seem like it's worth $20, and I'm also attracted to Steam discounts.

Currently, I'm only achieving half the frame rate on my monitors at 1080Ti. However, I'm attempting to run it at 5760x1080 with 144hz at full settings.

It seems they should allow adjustments enough for users who require them.

Add an alternative in the game for checking when your setup fails, allowing players to receive consistent support and humor from the community

The point I make is that those without a powerful PC to run games must play it in order to understand how to create one, yet if you wanted a gaming PC for that purpose, it would undermine the goal.

Perhaps it isn't OS X compatible. They might develop a mac version named Mac Building Simulator. It seems the programming could be quick, just a couple of buttons.
