Full keybinding system

Hey, Junkers!👷🔧

Over the past four weeks, we've been working on implementing a full keybinding system 🔥
in our game. Many players requested the ability to fully customize controls, so we dedicated a significant amount of time to making it happen.

In addition, we've made some hotfixes. As always, we're eager to hear your feedback!😊🔥👀

Don’t forget to check out the new features and let us know what you think. Every comment is gold to us! ✨

🚨 The update is waiting for you. Let’s go, Junkers!👷

Full list of changes below! 👇


🛠️Creating a full keybind for the Character


🛠️Creating a full keybind for the Baler


🛠️Creating a full keybind for the Loader

🛠️Creating a full keybind for the Furnace


🛠️Creating a full keybind for the Mini Crusher

🛠️Creating a full keybind for the Vehicle mechanic

🛠️Creating a full keybind for the other mechanic

🛠️Adding the ability to remove a key if two keys are assigned to the same function

🛠️Adding hints to indicate which keys are duplicated. This allows the player to identify key conflicts while editing keybinds

🛠️Fixed the Tourer vehicle’s Rear Bumper restoration. Previously, the texture did not change during the process, despite the completion percentage increasing.


🛠️Implementing graphical improvements across the game related to keybinds. Now, all mechanics reflect the player's assigned key and display it during gameplay

🛠️Adding a reset to default keys on the first launch with full keybind to avoid issues with legacy key settings

🛠️Fixing missing translations in the Keybind tab


🛠️Add braking and rolling sounds when braking vehicles

🛠️Updating the content of keybind messages to make them more understandable for the player

🛠️Reworking the running mechanic to support both tapping and holding. Now, both options can be assigned to different keys simultaneously without having to choose one

🛠️Adjusting the position of the destructible wall in plot A. There was an issue with hitting the wall correctly with the hammer, even when crouching

🛠️Fixing a material bug for the trunks of vehicles transported using the Baler Loader


🛠️Adding a new system for displaying and selecting the camera in the Crusher and Loader mechanics. Now, players can see how many cameras are available, which one is currently selected, and the options they can choose from

Hotfix🛠️🚧Update v.3.3.20🚧🛠️

Hey, Junkers!
We've been working hard to squash bugs and refine gameplay based on your valuable feedback. This update includes several important fixes and improvements designed to enhance your overall experience. Let us know what you think! 😊

Full list of changes below! 👇

🛠️Added dynamic annotation text change when selecting an occupied button. The text changes depending on whether the player selected a button locked due to being permanently assigned to a mechanic or one occupied by another mechanic that must be released before use.

🛠️Corrected the location of one of the findable items for a Task received in the area next to Your Junkyard.

🛠️Improved optimization of Grinder Particles when working at Your Junkyard.

🛠️Fixed invisible collision issues occurring with some vehicles transported on a tow truck.


🛠️Adjusted the number of steps required to complete the Blue Car engine restoration. Now, after using the Sandblaster, the engine is fully restored.

🛠️Fixed the scaling of the Skill Reset Button when the text was too long in certain languages, such as French.

🛠️Fixed the Tourer vehicle’s Rear Bumper restoration. Previously, the texture did not change during the process, despite the completion percentage increasing.


🛠️Fixed the ability to assign numeric keypad keys (Num 0, Num 1, Num 2, etc.) in Keybind settings.

🛠️Fixed the display of the crouching prompt when interacting with low objects that can be destroyed with a hammer. Now, the prompt appears only when standing near the object and disappears when crouching, moving away, or looking at an object that does not require crouching.

🛠️Optimized the item collection mechanic at Your Junkyard.

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.

  • Added an option in Character Controls to choose whether sprinting with SHIFT works by holding the key or toggling it with a single press.

  • Adding a 3D item counter icon to the Conveyor Belt mechanics and changing the transported item limit to 25

Your experience in Junkyard Simulator will be even more comfortable and flexible! 🚀

Hotfix

  • Integrate Steam Cloud – now you can store your saves in the cloud and switch between computers. You also no longer need to worry about losing your game progress when reinstalling Windows.

  • Refine the suspension mechanics of vehicles when driving through mud, including greater slowing of the vehicle and increased resistance when passing through muddy terrain.

  • 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.
