New Car Model

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
A brand new vehicle model has just arrived in the game: Off-Rider Trail.

Introduced in 1980, the Trail was a no-nonsense SUV built for drivers who needed more than just a road-going vehicle. With its sturdy construction, high ground clearance, and simple but effective suspension, it was designed to go where most cars wouldn’t dare. The interior focused on function rather than comfort, offering practical space for tools, gear, or weekend supplies. It wasn’t luxurious, but it was dependable - and that’s why it quickly earned the trust of farmers, outdoor explorers, and off-road enthusiasts.

Production ended in 1986, yet many Trail vehicles are still on the road today, often showing the marks of hard use and adventure. Known for its durability and go-anywhere attitude, the Trail gained a reputation as the SUV that simply didn’t give up - not in the wild, and not over time.

🚙 The vehicle is available from reputation level 6.

[h3]Remaining list of changes:[/h3]

Fixed an issue where new receptionist dialogue lines were not displayed before firing and rehiring an employee.
Improved the visual appearance of the Off-Rider Canyon trophy.
Fixed a bug causing hidden UI elements to appear after an employee performed an action.
Improved and optimized animations of the employee carrying packages.
Fixed tutorial texts displayed when playing with a controller.

Receptionist Update

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]

We added the new Receptionist feature: filling and emptying repair machines.
From the employee dialogue, you can now choose which tasks they perform and in what order.
For the parts repair task, you can set the minimum number of damaged parts in storage required to start the job.
Lower values mean more frequent trips. Consider this if another worker is currently dismantling cars.
This setting only affects moving parts from storage to a machine. The worker will automatically empty the machine once the repair is finished.
Machine settings are now unified. The repair percentage threshold applies to both machines.
This fixes the issue where workers emptied one machine and carried parts straight to the other.
We added a 20-second cooldown when you manually add or remove something from a machine.
After you interact with a machine, the worker will briefly wait before taking over. This prevents conflict with your actions.
When a machine finishes, the worker returns parts to storage. They become available to other workers, for example in the mechanical workshop.
