• Speed ​​up string loading when throwing boxes (plot) by 30-40%
  
• Get rid of these subtasks from Quest so the bug is "fixed":
  BUG: Quest 8 - 6/7 - Clean armchair and put down brush. - So I got the brush via pressing ALT and selecting it instead of picking up the brush in the world. I've sold the chair to the guy so now the mission is locked at "clean armchair and put down brush" - Great.
  
• Add a block on the ability to purchase vehicle auto renovation skills and items until it causes a blocker (i.e. after the blue vehicle quest). Players reported the problem.

  Quest 8 - Using stationary press
  Quest 9 - Win the Old Lady's trust - she runs an illegal pawnshop
  Quest 10 - Fast Travel
  Quest 11 - Find abandoned camp upon Lucy's instructions

• Fixed all problems caused by loading an older save with quests in the old order
  
• Fixed the possibility of a vehicle falling into the crusher in such a way that it would not be counted for processing at all
  

Added new Delivery mechanics for Lots:

The Delivery Area is a new section of the Lot available to the player who has completed 100% of all lots to have an order loop.


Deliveries involve receiving Items, Vehicles or Structures for processing using tools


Players receive the next delivery after 30 minutes when they finish processing the currently placed Items, Vehicles and Structures in the Delivery Area


The Delivery Area will allow you to expand your plot to 100%, thanks to the endless supply of raw materials that can be obtained.


Adding the Lost and Found Office


This is a special stand next to the Pawn Shop, where we can recover valuable items when they fall into the ground while exploring the game world.
