Hey, junkers!🛠️

Hotfix

• Fixed a potential issue with completing the restoration of the right and left front fenders for the Mercury vehicle.
  
  
• Added percentage completion information to the vehicle restoration graphic. Now, the overall percentage of the vehicle's completion is always visible, without needing to check each part individually to see the progress.
  
  
• Added a feature to hide information below the schematic on the vehicle restoration graphic. These details were confusing players by constantly showing 0% information, even when not focusing on any body parts.
  
  
• Improved particle effect transparency during item and vehicle cleaning with the brush, making it easier to see the area being cleaned.
  
  
• Improved particle effect transparency during painting with spray and paint gun for items and vehicles, making it easier to see the area being painted.
  
  
• Optimized the area between the Crusher and the Pawnshop, ensuring smoother vehicle movement through this zone.
  
  
• Fix the bouncing tow truck at the start of the game, as it can vibrate in the garage.
  
  
• Address areas where the player character gets stuck, based on screenshots provided by players.
  
  
• Adjust the floating boxes in the camper zone near Grandma's pawnshop.
  
  
• Fixed broken game saves with two vehicles overlapping on the Two-Column Lift. Now, after loading such a broken save, the problematic vehicle will be removed, allowing players to continue the restoration.

The next major update will focus on significantly improving the game’s performance, especially in areas traversed by vehicles, to ensure that loading new content in these zones doesn’t cause substantial FPS drops. Additionally, improvements will be made to the junkyard parcel area.

• Added a fix to the loading mechanic to ensure that players stuck with the Parcel Purchase Quest will have the quest marked as completed and can continue the storyline.

Thank You very much for being with us and giving us so much valuable feedback!

The game is constantly under development and improvement. There's still a lot ahead of us - we want to give you a great game at full launch. This is our goal

We are still working on improving the gamepad mechanics. Thank you for your feedback. We still need more time for subsequent iterations, the game was not made with the controller in mind (our mistake), but we want to do everything to make it work with it as best as we can. Most of the mechanics are already working, there are still bugs that we are fixing and we ask for your understanding and ofc feedback. We will make every effort to make it better. ːsteamhappyː
