Junkyard Simulator News

Hey, quick fixes for reported bugs. We have a bigger list and the next update will be before the weekend. Thank you very much for your feedback.

• Fixed blocker when purchasing Crusher for Quest. The player with the old save game had the correct Quest, but was still unable to purchase the Cruhser
  
  
• Fixed the Hammer hitting distance when destroying objects. Now you can hit an object from a distance
  
  
• Fixed completing optional tasks with delivering items with a pallet to the warehouse. The 1950 pickup truck did not include throwing objects into its bed
  
  
• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the player to see the character flying through the air when teleporting close to a Lot

Hello, scrappers! We are adding another change to our game, be sure to check out the bidding mechanics in the pawnshop - all suggestions are welcome.


As you can see, we are constantly updating our early access game.
We still have a few updates ahead of us, so we know you're waiting for more cars to be restored and the ability to drive them - we're working on it. We are also working on further optimization of the game code so that each of you can enjoy the game.


Hotfix list

• Fix Large truck - when we unlock the 24 slots the vehicle cannot move. Select another slot from the upgrade panel and the vehicle will return to normal operation
  
  
• Added bidding mechanics to sales in the Pawn Shop
  
  
• Changing the location of the quest "Quest 11 - Find an abandoned motel on Lucy's orders". Now the Gold Bar is in the trunk of the car and the Sculpture is in the motel room
  
  
• Changing the item that we have to deliver for "Quest 12 - At the end of one of the branches". Now instead of Sheet Metal there is an Engine Element
  
  
• Changing the minimum number of items required to complete "Quest 12 - At the end of one of the branches" when delivering items to the conveyor belt from 3 to 2
  
  
• Creating a passage for the player's character at the second entrance gate to the Large Scrapyard

• Changing the amount of money obtained in lockers. Now there is a 75% chance to get $5 to $55 and a 25% chance to get $75 to $110
  
  
• Fixed looking at the trunk when searching for a Gold Bar for Quest. Now, when looking at the trunk, we only see the [E] tooltip, and only after opening the trunk and looking at the Gold Bar item, we see the [LMB] tooltip with Quest subtitles
  
  
• Fixed [E] disappearing when looking at the trunk and moving the mouse left and right, at the height of the middle of the mask

• Fixed counting for items thrown onto the conveyor belt during the Scrap Collector's Bounty
