[h2]Hey Car Dealers![/h2]
The update is just around the corner! We're putting on the final touches and running the last tests on our side - and at the beginning of next week, it will be in your hands!

In today’s devlog, we wanted to summarize how the online shop and delivery system work - some of which we've already teased in previous posts.

[h3]🖥️ New App on Your Office PC[/h3]
A new app will appear on the computer:



[h3]🛒 24/7 Shopping with Delivery[/h3]
Plan your purchases wisely! Unlike the physical store, the online shop and delivery system are available 24/7, but the delivery fee is $500.
Each order can contain up to 100 items.

[h3]🚚 Track Your Delivery[/h3]
Once you place an order, a delivery truck will head your way.
A pin will appear on your screen showing its current location:



[h3]🚧 Watch Out for Traffic Jams[/h3]
The truck might get stuck in traffic, so make sure you haven’t blocked the road.
If there are traffic issues beyond your control, you can use the "Reset traffic" option in the pause menu.

[h3]📦 Receiving the Package[/h3]
When the truck arrives, you’ll get a notification on your HUD.
Interact with the trailer - once the doors are open, you’ll have access to the packages.
You can pick them up and move them around freely.
With a package in hand, you can enter item transfer mode to move items from the package into your inventory.
If you're holding a package and interact with the storage room, you can transfer its contents directly to storage.

In today's devlog, we want to tell you a bit more about a new feature you'll be seeing soon in the game.
Yesterday's entry gave you a sneak peek of the parts ordering app, and today we're introducing the delivery system.

Unlike the in-person store, the online parts shop is open 24/7 and offers express delivery.
The cost of such an order is $500, so it’s a good idea to plan your purchases carefully to avoid overspending 🙂

Once you place an order, a courier heads your way.
They’ll stop in front of your workshop and wait for you to collect your packages.
All you have to do is interact with the boxes - this will activate the carrying mode, which you might already know from moving the radio or the ladder.



You can:

• place the package anywhere in your workshop,
  
• unpack items directly into your inventory,
  
• or unpack directly into your storage.
  

To unpack directly into storage, enter the storage room while holding the package and press the same button used to transfer items to your inventory.
The difference is that, while in the storage area, the UI will automatically detect the context and switch to unpacking into storage.

[h3]Patch notes:[/h3]

• Changed the way dates are displayed in the mail app – this applies only to new messages, existing ones will keep the old format
  
• Fixed a bug where junkyard-related emails did not show the date of receipt
  
• Fixed minor display issues with road rendering
  
• Fixed an issue where the fuel cap on the Cavallaro 280g model was misaligned in repair/wash zones
  
• Fixed a bug that caused banking app transactions to duplicate during autosaves
  
• Restored proper functioning of photos in the classifieds app
  
• Fixed a bug with junkyard pins on the minimap – after loading a save, they now correctly display as junk pins instead of owned vehicle markers

Additionally, today we want to reveal the first details of the upcoming online store update.

As we mentioned earlier, we’re working on adding the ability to purchase car parts via the in-game computer app. You’ll be able to buy new car parts with delivery to your yard. In one of the previous devlogs, we showed you where to find the Car Part Mart app icon on the screen, and today we’re showing how the app looks when opened.



The app includes resource filtering and a clear, user-friendly shopping cart. Choose your products carefully - each delivery comes with a transport fee.
