Junkyard Simulator News

Hey, junkers!🛠️
We've been hard at work squashing bugs and making gameplay smoother based on your feedback. This update brings important fixes to vehicle physics, keybinding improvements, and new control customization options! 💡

Check out the full list of changes below and let us know what you think! 👇

Hotfix

• Changed AZERTY key functionality in the Keybinds tab. Now, clicking one of the AZERTY buttons applies the layout to all game mechanics.
  
  
• Fixed a bug where key labels were not refreshing after switching to AZERTY. Previously, players had to switch tabs or close and reopen the Keybinds tab to refresh the key labels.
  
  
• Added a special option for Character Controls: now it's possible to move forward using RMB.
  
  
• Reworked all mechanics that required changes for the Move Forward on RMB option.
  
  
• Added an option in Character Controls to choose whether sprinting with SHIFT works by holding the key or toggling it with a single press.
  
  
• Fixed Crusher sounds. After rebinding keys to a custom setup, sounds often wouldn't play when using directional inputs for the Crusher.
  
  
• Fixed a bug that could cause button press sounds from the Conveyor Panel to play even when standing far away from the conveyor.
  
  
• Adding a 3D item counter icon to the Conveyor Belt mechanics and changing the transported item limit to 25
  
  
• Fix the vehicle physics bug reported by the player, including bouncing, getting stuck in the air, launching above the level, and other similar issues for all vehicles in the game.
  
  
• Fixed objects like fire hydrants falling out of the Resource Exchange Cage when removing items from the backpack.
  
  
• Fixed the current Task being canceled after opening the Tool Wheel [Left Alt].
