New Engine, Car Updates, Bug Fixes, Lets Go


Hey Everyone,
This update fixes some bugs and adds a 2jz-style engine which can be bought from the junkyard and mounted in either the Diamondback or the Eagle(car). It can be found in the junkyard, but it's expensive and will come with a few random broken parts. Jimmy Junks won't be able to help you fix it, so you'll have to fix it yourself. But the good news is it should be about as powerful as the stock V8. Replacement parts can be found at New Age. The car's original generic engine now wears out over time, but you can buy complete generic engines at the junkyard for around $250 if you would rather use those in your car.
This update should work fine with your old saves, though you might need to recalibrate your mouse sensitivity settings this time. If you have an extremely old save it might be a good idea to start a new game if you notice any blatant anomalies.

Patch Notes:

Added a six cylinder 2jz style engine. This engine works in both the Diamondback and the car. The engine can be bought in the junkyard.
The car's default engine will now wear out over time.
Cheap replacement engines can be bought in the junkyard for around $250.
Auto parts store now has i6 replacement parts.
Jiggs Casey can now recover the i6 engine once it's bought.
Added a sheriff's office/jail. This is part of the next update.
Iron ore now gets destroyed if it falls out of the world.
Moved the i4 engine mount bolts on the diamondback to make them easier to see.
Fixed an issue with mouse sensitivity changing when viewing the menu for the fist time.
Fixed an issue with blackberries not saving properly.
Fixed 3D sound issues with vehicle engines.
Fixed an issue where car's oil level had an inverse effect on the car's power.
Fixed an issue which could cause some items to be thrown out of inventory on loading the game.
Fixed an issue with an Exit Vehicle tooltab appearing when vehicle hasn't been entered.
Fixed an issue with the Diamondback's interior being clean when first bought.
Fixed an issue where engines could come lose from the motor mounts without being unbolted.
Various terrain fixes and clean up.

I'll have another update for you soon which adds an antagonist character to the game and makes use of the Sheriff's station.

Thank You,
Keystone

Moonshine Expansion + Bugfixes


Hey Everyone,
Here's a quick summary of what this update does:

-An infuser module can be bought from Jiggs and attached to the moonshine distillery. It can be filled with various fruit items you can harvest from around the map. Infused moonshine gives a better payout. You can also save your game near the moonshine distillery.

-A more profitable way to sell moonshine and tobacco can be unlocked by completing Jake's original quest line, and then selling him a batch of high quality moonshine to initiate a new mission with him and another NPC.

-You might notice the Texas Hold'em NPCs are gone. Completing Jake's quest line will bring them back, along with some other things(can be overridden with debug menu).

-Important bug fixes to mission waypoints, items falling out of inventory on load, and several other issues you've reported to me.


Complete Update Notes:

-Added an orange tree, lime tree, and ambrosia tree for harvesting fruit. Many existing blackberry bushes can be harvested also.
-Added another NPC to assist with Jake's questline(voice credit Drae).
-Added a ceiling collider to prevent objects from launching out of the map(and causing weird side effects when they get too far away).
-Texas Holdem players are unlocked through Jake's questline(also added a debug menu override in the event you want to still play poker without completing Jake's questline).
-Fixed an issue where mission waypoint continuity could be broken if saving and reloading mid mission.
-Fixed an issue with some inventory items dropping in front of player when loading into game.
-Fixed an issue where Jake might not pay you for the vandalism mission.

Quality-of-Life Update

-Increased payout for logs.
-Lowered initial coolant level when buying truck from junkyard.
-Increased the distance in which you can throw trash bags.

-Decreased the amount of rain.
-Increased and staggered the HP of stock tires that come with the Diamondback.

Additions:
-Overhauled several tree models so far-away scenery looks better.
-Added an oil dipstick to V8 block.
-Added an oil dipstick to i4 block.
-Several UI formatting issues.

Fixes:
-Fixed an issue where the Diamondback's body would not get muddy in some situations.
-Fixed an issue where after completing a mission, a new mission would be labeled as tracked without showing a waypoint.
-Fixed a stamina issue when carrying a despawning heavy mission item to its destination.
-Fixed a head tracking issue with some NPCs.
-Fixed an issue where your money value could display fractions of a cent.

-Assorted small UI fixes.
