Update 1.2 has landed! Here is your 3rd free dose of content this year, The Muckingham Files. Take it away trailer:
Patch notes:
What’s included in the update?
The Muckingham Files will take you to never-before-seen places from the original universe of the base game, with new characters, locations and stories. Get to know more about your stomping ground and its inhabitants as the most in-demand power washer in town.
Remember the Mauka Aitu Desert? The place where you cleaned the ancient statue and monument, and that old steam train? Well, it’s not just full of aged relics but also home to some more advanced technology – namely a Solar Water Plant and a huge Satellite Dish. It’s down to you to dust off all that sand, for a satisfyingly sparkly finish.
You’ll be glad for a short reprieve to the lush green of Muckingham’s recreation ground, where a filthy Food Truck is spoiling the view. Once you’ve finished, it’ll be the shimmering centrepiece of the park.
The new Muckingham Files update comprise these three new jobs, but also a little tweak to some older bonus jobs…
Old Jobs get a New Story
Looking to brush up on local lore? The pre-existing bonus jobs have had new stories added that supplement (whilst not continuing) the main story – bringing them in line with this update and any future updates in the Muckingham universe.
