All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello entrepreneurs,

Preface:


This new update is truly amazing.
We had some new ideas for you to have even more fun with the game, fixed some bugs, made many improvements and brought a lot of new things!

We can consider that the Freight Simulator will become a new game in terms of immersion with this update that completely changed the game.

General notices:


* The functions of this new version are not compatible with previous saves and due to the lack of compatibility we strongly recommend that you start a new save game.
* All users will need to reset a new nickname to chat and participate in the online ranking.

Check out what we've updated in the game:

- Competitors

Now to sign contracts you will compete with other companies in the game.

With more than 25 competitors the game will be much more fun, with several new opportunities.

Whoever gets the biggest bargain takes the contract, may the best one win!

- New design to choose from & new design to view features

With this new design, it will be much easier to choose to manage all your items and employees.

We have also added a menu for you to see which employee, bucket or set is connected with the truck and the freight, allowed so that you can manage everything more easily.

- New images for buckets

Now the buckets have an image, and it is much easier to recognize them.

- Adding women & new characters

Due to a limitation in the initial algorithm of the game we were unable to add women at the launch of the game, we improved the algorithm and now women are also part of the game!

In addition to women, we also added new characters to the game with new names for employees.

We added a total of 100 possible characters in the game.

- Freight price will now be equated to cargo

Freight prices will now be based on the value of the cargo transported, tons and distance. Thus making the game more real and a little more fun.

- Rare cargoes & contracts

Now you may be lucky enough to find a rare cargo or contract every time new freight or contracts appear.

Rare freight and contracts give more money when transporting.

- New design icons

We redesigned some icons to make the game more beautiful.

- New mod tool, allows you to change things in the game


This tool is only available to users of the BETA version
A tool that allows you to change the names of employees, trucks and buckets.
Soon we will add more mods and a complete tool for you to develop your own mods.

- New achievements


We’ve also added new achievements for you.

We added a total of 11 new achievements.

Rebalancing

We had a great rebalancing throughout the game to make it a little more realistic, but always maintaining the essence of the game.

  • The KMs away from freight and contracts have been readjusted and can now reach up to 4,000KMs.
  • The number of KMs that a driver can travel has been increased significantly.
  • The tons of freight and contracts were readjusted to a maximum of 60T.
  • The best bucket will now be able to load up to 60T.
  • Prices for trucks and buckets were readjusted at the store.
  • Property prices/cost/profit have been readjusted.
  • Value of freight and contracts readjusted.
  • Adjusted employee salary and hiring rate.
  • Fuel price that used to cost F$ 50.00 per liter has been adjusted, each liter will now cost F$ 8.00, with a discount of F$ 0.20 for each level of gas station you own.
  • Interest on invested capital that was 0.50% was adjusted to 0.25%.

Optimizations

  • The garage has been optimized and some players who were experiencing lag problems will no longer have this problem.
  • Significant improvements in game response speed.

Bug fixes

  • Translation errors in some languages ​​have been corrected according to some suggestions from you.
  • Bug that the employee did not resign when satisfaction reached 0 has been fixed.
  • Bug that showed the driver was busy when attached to a truck that was not traveling has been fixed.
  • Bug that did not show the available sets on the freight screen and corrected contract.
  • Bug that was not updating the rankings fixed.

* The functions of this new version are not compatible with previous saves and due to the lack of compatibility we strongly recommend that you start a new save game. *

What we have to say

Many of these improvements were possible due to the ideas you have given, so we would like to thank all of you who have given us suggestions for improving the game.

The community is very important to us, we listen to everyone and we always try to adapt the game for everyone in the best possible way. If you have any suggestions, comment below.
