UPDATE #14 - AVAILABLE IN BETA BRANCH!
Hello, Drivers! ːsteamhappyː
UPDATE #14 BETA is now available in beta branch!
The previous cars - Farmer, Wrangel and Cobra - have returned to the game - they can now be found traveling around the world. As soon as you find any of these cars, they will be permanently added to your parking lot in the starting location. The economy in the game has been globally revised - it was very strange that in the desert some paint costs more than water. Prices for items are still in the process of being balanced. The character needs system has been changed, it will be more difficult to play on the standard difficulty setting, but you can always customize the game for yourself. This system is also in the balancing stage. Car tuning has been slightly expanded - side mirrors have been added that can be installed on car doors. Like other items, they can also be found in places of interest. A small bonus - a trash can has started working in the starting garage (it is next to the sofa) - by placing unnecessary trash in it and closing the lid, it will be removed from the game. Even in the post-apocalyptic world, you can now keep things clean!)
IMPORTANT!
When loading a previous save, items in the shops will not appear. You need to reload the world - either drive through the next tunnel, or (if you are at the starting location) press the "return home" button in the pause menu. You need to do this once, the world will reload and the shops will work as they should.
