Junkyard Truck version 1.5



Hey Everyone,
Today's update is Part One of a two-part update. TL;DR: Added some trailers, added a mission board which generates random missions, fixed some bugs.

-Randomly generated missions can be obtained on the notice board on the side of the gas station. If you don't like the mission you were given, you can always generate a new one.

-Reminder: Track missions and view mission details using the missions menu(Esc>Missions)

-Added a large container trailer for hauling large volumes of junk and other items.

-Added a large flatbed trailer for extremely heavy items which cannot be picked up. To transport these items, pull the flatbed trailer near them and interact with the object.

-Added recovery options for all trailers. They will recover to a spot within the town.

-Cuttable trees are now on a real-time respawn timer and cannot be regenerated by reloading.

-Junk engines found in abandoned cars no longer regenerate junk on reload.

-Manually carrying abnormally large or heavy objects long distances will drain your hydration and slow your movement speed.

-Dentside now responds more realistically to mud.

-Increased transparency of Dentside windshield.

-Fixed an issue where the jerry can could have a problem filling up the Dentside pickup.

-Fixed a visual issue where the Dentside pickup was not bending grass blades.

-Fixed an issue where you could save on a payphone while still sitting in your vehicle.

-Improved the payphone save interface.

-Fixed an issue where some shrubs appeared black and without texture.

-Decreased frequency of random loot spawns.

-Fixed a Steam integration issue where Junkyard Truck may appear to still be running in Steam after quitting.

-Several insignificant bug fixes not worth mentioning.

The second part of this update is nearly done and should not take much longer. The second part will make use of the unused room in the auto parts store.
Thanks
Keystone

Compound Turbo, 18V Battery for Golf Cart, Performance & Bug Fixes



If you moved your V8 to the Dentside pickup, I don't want to leave you with a mediocre four cylinder engine for the Diamondback. Now you can add a compound turbo system to your four cylinder engine to make it worthwhile again. Remove the air filter from your turbocharger, attach a compound pipe, attach a large turbo, add a secondary compound pipe, and add an air filter to the larger turbo. You can also find a rare 18v battery in the junkyard which only works with the golf cart. System performance issues with the Dentside pickup have also been addressed.

-Added a compound turbo kit for 4 cylinder engine.
-Added compound turbo parts to auto parts store.
-Added an 18v battery to the junkyard which can be used in the golf cart to improve speed.
-Added bucket #3 to Jiggs' recovery menu.
-Increased reverse speed of golf cart.
-Fixed a performance issue where Dentside would lag when transporting heavy objects.
-Fixed an issue where pickaxes would not despawn after being used.
-Fixed an issue with the pyramid trophy not saving.
-Fixed an issue where trophies could become invisible if moved too far from the race booth.
-Fixed an issue where welding wire would not save its location.

More Fixes

I'll keep trying to fix things you send my way:

-Added a trash bin to both houses for discarding spent objects. This will eventually generate a trash bag if enough items are thrown away.
-Added an oil dipstick to car(other engines will have one shortly).
-Fix to F100's front an rear differential gear bolts being difficult to turn.
-Additional fixes to prevent wheels from getting stuck on vehicles.
-F100 towing is now unlocked once you've gotten the truck to both run and move.
-Fixed issue with empty moonshine crates being too graphically intensive.
-Tires that reach low durability will explode and eventually rip off of the wheel. If you've had the same wheels for a long time in your current save, they likely have little durability left.
-Fixed a physics issue caused by crouching under a vehicle and being able to stand back up.
-Fixed an issue where the winch could be attached from extremely far away.
-Fixed an issue where a fallen tree audio could get stuck in a loop.
-Fixed an issue where empty rims would calculate traction incorrectly.
-Fixed an issue where vehicle reverse noise was not working.
-Fixed a visually glitched cuttable tree near the forge.
-Fixed an undetachable wheel issue a lot of players had after experimental.
-Fixed Dentside paintjob reverting back to a rusted texture.
-Adjusted Dentside speedometer.
-Moved problematic Dentside spawn location at second house.
-Added a grinding noise when driving on rims.
-Added a noise when driving on a flat tire.

Junkyard Truck still has a ways to go with bug fixes and new content. I'll keep working hard to make sure everything gets addressed.
Junkyard Truck has a discord https://discord.gg/zbSqEqU4Jc and I try to fix everything that's reported here. I implement a lot of ideas and suggestions from the polls and feedback I get. I'll respond to all the direct messages I get here.
Thank You.

Custom controls, Logitech wheel support, optimization, etc

Hey Everyone, it's me, Keystone Knight, the worst programmer on Planet Earth. Today I have a few things you've been asking for:

-Controls overhauled to be customizable.
-Logitech wheel/pedal support, including force feedback on suspension/collisions and rough terrains.
-An ATM in the gas station for depositing extra money rolls. This will become necessary later when you encounter items which cost more than the maximum amount you can carry in your inventory.
-Misc optimization work.
-Lots of terrain changes which won't make sense until later.
-Reduced moonlight intensity.
-Added proper brake controls to 250F.
-Added proper brake controls to Eagle(car).
-Addressed a clicking noise in 250F's engine loop.
-Reduced engine noise of 250F.

Additional notes:
-If your dirt bike stops running make sure you fill it up with gas ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

-I'll continue to make wheel support better as I receive more feedback.

-If you're like me and don't care about controls, don't worry, the next update will have randomly generated missions, where no mission is the same.

I hope you all have a great weekend!
