Junkyard Simulator News

Hey, Junkers!👷🔧

Thanks to your feedback, we’ve made key improvements and fixes to the game. We're continuously working on enhancing the overall experience, and our next update is well on its way! 🚀

Most of the changes are already in place, but we need a bit more time to polish everything. Thanks for your patience and support! 😊


Hotfix list:

🛠️Reworking the leveling system. Now it’s easier to gain levels above Level 10, as the required XP for leveling up from Level 10 onwards is the same for all higher levels and is set at 25,000 XP.

🛠️Added a fix that, upon loading a save with a Level above 10, will properly recalculate the player's total XP and adjust the current Level accordingly, ensuring that players who leveled up under the previous system are not at a disadvantage.


🛠️Fixed a Fatal Error when using the Furnace Machine and Mini Crusher.

🛠️Fixed tool upgrades in the Upgrade Station. Now, Level 3 upgrades cannot be purchased before Level 2 has been bought.


🛠️Improving the driving mechanics of the pickup and SUV, enhancing traction and cornering behavior.

Hey, Junkers!👷🔧

🛠️Adding hints for the delivery time of the first raw material crate during the Parcel Renovation task.

🛠️Now, during gameplay, the nearest object that can be processed is indicated with an arrow.


🛠️Now, when a crate is created and placed on the ground, the arrow indicator will show that it needs to be picked up.

🛠️When holding a crate, the raw material box to which it should be delivered is indicated with an arrow.

🛠️After completing the entire process, including placing the crate into the raw material box, a message appears confirming that the mechanic has been learned.


🛠️Tab highlight adjustment when using the personal parcel computer.
Now, the selected tab remains highlighted at all times, even after being selected.

🛠️Crane mechanics change for the engine.
Now, during the engine removal task, the engine is no longer moved manually. Instead, the crane transports it to its designated location.

🛠️Fix for the LMB key display position when selecting vehicles in the tow truck mechanic.
The key icon is now perfectly centered.

🛠️Fix for a possible Fatal Error during automatic processing in the Furnace and MiniCrusher mechanics.

🛠️Fix for an invisible collision at the engine crane location when it is not yet visible at the engine removal station

🛠️Fix for a quest blockage that occurred when the player saved the game during the crane animation moving the engine.


🛠️Fix player-reported bugs – instance loading in the Pawnshop area.

🛠️Fix player-reported bugs – in the Windmill area.

🛠️Added a "Follow PlayWay" button to the main menu – we encourage those interested to check out our publisher's game suggestions and our fellow developers' projects.

Hey, Junkers!👷🔧

We know there have been a lot of gamepad updates lately, but we're making sure controller support works as smoothly as possible! 🎮

Thanks to your feedback, we’ve fixed key mechanics and addressed other issues as well. At this point, we haven’t received any more reports about controller issues, so we’re shifting our focus back to the next big game update. 🚀

Most fixes are in place, but we’ll need a bit more time—until Tuesday next week. We appreciate your patience and support! 😊

Hotfix list:

🛠️Fixed the issue where the cursor remained on the screen after exiting the Blue Car renovation mechanic when playing with a gamepad.

🛠️Adjusted the height of the resource processing information table in the Stationary Press to prevent it from overlapping with other UI elements.



🛠️Fixed the occasional malfunction of the button used to switch between the Scrap Loader and the Car Baler when playing with a gamepad.

🛠️Resolved the issue with the camera mechanics when looking around in a vehicle located near the fast travel point in the center of the Large Junkyard.

🛠️Fixed the button that triggers automatic vehicle processing in the Scrap Loader and Car Baler when playing with a gamepad.


🛠️During work in the minicrusher, the culldistance at a certain angle hides the high-voltage pole.

🛠️Gamepad fixes - Crouching does not work when the blue car is on the lift.

🛠️Gamepad fixes - Exiting the vehicle restoration mechanic leaves the character in a crouching position.

🛠️Gamepad fixes - Camera zoom does not work in the vehicle restoration mechanic, and after exiting, it also breaks zooming in vehicles.

🛠️Gamepad fixes - At the start of the game and on the slot selection screen, it is impossible to scroll down with the gamepad and select any of the saves; only Story, Sandbox, and X for closing can be selected.

Dear players! ❤️

You’re probably tired of all the gamepad updates, but as you know, the last keybind changes caused some issues with controller support. We want to make sure that even partial controller support works as smoothly as possible! 🎮

We’ve received a lot of valuable feedback from you about key mechanics not working properly, so we’re doing our best to fix everything. We believe that most issues are already resolved, but we still need a bit more time – until Tuesday next week.

So please be patient and understanding – there might be one or two more updates for the controller. Thank you for your support and for being with us! 😊🚀

🛠️Fixing the disappearance of the mouse cursor while pointing at components during disassembly when using a gamepad. Now, the cursor remains visible at all times—previously, it would disappear when not pointing at any component
