Could you build this?

No Re-implementing a complete, complex 3D simulation engine (OMSI 2) in Rust with exact behavioral compatibility for thousands of legacy mods, vehicle physics, and scripting engines is a massive systems-engineering undertaking.

What it would actually take: Requires architecting a full modern 3D simulation engine in Rust using wgpu, custom multithreaded tile streaming, and collision detection systems. The hardest part is reverse-engineering OMSI 2's proprietary scripting language, legacy file formats, pneumatic/electrical vehicle physics models, and bus schedule AI to achieve bug-for-bug behavioral parity.
