Economy Update
[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
A big economy update is here, preparing the game for the upcoming Up 2 You DLC. This is another step in developing systems that will support new mechanical parts and even deeper gameplay in the future.
[h3]What has changed?[/h3]
1. Parts now directly affect vehicle value
From now on, the price of parts directly translates into the value of the car.
Part value = base price × durability.
This makes the calculations clearer and more intuitive.
2. Labor now matters
Your work is now also included in the vehicle’s price.
Each part replacement has a service cost that increases the vehicle’s value.
Service cost scales with the value of the car.
Better car = higher labor value.
3. Better balancing between vehicle tiers
The same part can appear in both early-tier and late-tier vehicles.
From now on, labor cost balances the difference and better reflects the class of the vehicle.
[h3]What about profits?[/h3]
The changes have been thoroughly tested across multiple scenarios.
That’s why it’s worth checking your current listings and making sure the prices are still attractive to customers.
Some vehicles listed on the marketplace may now have a lower price than before the update.
This creates a clearer, more scalable, and future-proof economy system.

[h3]What about profits?[/h3]
The changes have been thoroughly tested across multiple scenarios.
- The average profit per vehicle has not changed.
- However, market values have been adjusted.
That’s why it’s worth checking your current listings and making sure the prices are still attractive to customers.
Some vehicles listed on the marketplace may now have a lower price than before the update.
This creates a clearer, more scalable, and future-proof economy system.
[h3]Other changes:[/h3]
- Improved transporter behavior on uneven terrain
- Improved vehicle mass and center of gravity
