Can I Run NIMBY Rails?
NIMBY Rails is a simulation game from Weird and Wry, released in 2021. Weird and Wry both developed and published it. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Being 5 years old, it was built for the hardware of its day, so a current machine usually has headroom over the published figures. Workshop content is supported, so the published requirements describe the unmodded game only. Its Steam review count passes 2 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now. Progress follows the account through Steam Cloud rather than sitting on one disk.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in an open sandbox, moving through systems the player balances from above. Simulation heavy building games lean harder on the processor as the map fills, so late game performance rarely matches the opening hours. The view is in two dimensions. The publisher supplies 32 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why NIMBY Rails is demanding
NIMBY Rails needs 64 bit Windows. The install is small at roughly 28 GB, on an SSD. NIMBY Rails expects 16 GB of system memory. NIMBY Rails needs only 4 GB of video memory.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
