Hey guys! I’m on the lookout for a super-realistic building game where you can construct just about anything – from vehicles like cars and planes to intricate machines and elaborate buildings – all in a walkable 3D world. Kind of like a more detailed version of games such as Stormworks, Trailmakers, Scrap Mechanic, or Brick Rigs. Think of it like a CAD software but with real game physics!
Here’s what I’m dreaming of:
– **Extreme realism:** Every tiny detail should count, including wiring, resistors, and other components like gears and hydraulics.
– **Ultimate creative freedom:** I want to design complex vehicles and machinery with full control over mechanics and physics.
– **Realistic physics engine:** A game where everything behaves as it would in the real world.
– **Expansive sandbox:** A large, open-world 3D environment to experiment and play with my creations.
Games like Stormworks and Space Engineers are close, but they simplify too much. I’m looking for something that mirrors real life as much as possible. Is this just a future dream, or does such a game already exist?

Simpleplanes2 is expected to launch sometime this year. It might align with what you’re searching for.
I’m also on the lookout for a game like this. You might want to check out Kerbal Space Program in the meantime – it’s not exactly what you’re asking for, but it’s got a pretty decent balance of building and physics realism.
In reality, you might have to prioritize what you want most. Do you prefer the ability to walk around your creations, or a game that fully simulates every aspect of a motor’s performance? Games tend to focus on one or the other, but I’m not aware of a single one that nails both aspects.
