[h2]๐Ÿ‘ทโ€โ™€๏ธ Hi Junkyard fans! ๐Ÿ‘ทโ€โ™‚๏ธ[/h2]
[h3]It was worth the wait โ€“ another major update for you! Check our trailer ๐ŸŽฅ and read news! Let's get started:
[/h3]
๐ŸŽฎ Gameplay

๐Ÿ”น Added Day and Hour System

๐Ÿ”น Time now flows in the game, and players can advance to the next day by ending the current

๐Ÿ”น day using the laptop.

๐Ÿ”น Added Level System
Players can earn experience and unlock new items in the laptop by performing various actions, including:
  • Selling items
  • Cleaning, sanding, and painting items
  • Completing contracts
  • Using machines

๐Ÿ”น Added License System

๐Ÿ”น Players can purchase licenses for specific items, allowing them to receive contracts for those items.

๐Ÿ”น Added Contract System
Players can now accept contracts for items produced with machines. Each contract has a limited time to complete. Completing a contract grants experience and its value, while overdue contracts result in a penalty. To pay a penalty and free up space in the loading zone, you must cancel the contract via the laptop.

๐Ÿ”น Added Loading Zone

๐Ÿ”น A new area where trucks arrive to pick up goods from contracts.

๐Ÿ”น Added new contract-related upgrades

๐Ÿ”น Added visual effects when the player cannot exit a vehicle

๐Ÿ”น Rotating wheel effect during vehicle driving and steering

๐Ÿ”น Added snow.

๐Ÿ”น Removed Scrap Point
It caused too fast and easy income. Instead, players can now receive contracts for Melted Block.
