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.
