Dear Junkers! 🎄
On the occasion of Junkyard Christmas and the upcoming New Year, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being with me and with the game for so many years — through every update, every fix, and every new stage of development. Your support, patience, and involvement truly mean the world to me.
Thanks to you, Junkyard is still alive, growing, and gaining more and more character. Over this time, you’ve become more than just players to me — you’re a community that’s very close to my heart and one that motivates me every single day to keep going.
I also want you to know that even now — during the holiday season — I’m still working on the game, adding fixes and releasing hotfixes based on your reports. Thank you with all my heart for every report, every suggestion, and every piece of advice. It’s you who help make the game better and better. 🙏
I wish you peaceful, joyful, and warm holidays, full of rest, smiles, and good moments — both in front of the screen and away from it. 🎁
May the New Year bring you lots of health, happiness, fulfilled dreams, and plenty of positive energy. And from the Junkyard side — I promise there’s still a lot ahead: more updates, new content, and many surprises! 🚀
Thank you for being here. Without you, this game wouldn’t make sense.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 💛
Reworked the vehicle camera system for looking around from the third-person view — the camera speed has been increased by 100% at the players’ request, and camera input lag has been eliminated.
Fixed an issue where the Parcel purchase quest could become blocked if the player bought the parcel before the quest required it. The quest will now correctly detect prior completion.
Fixed a potential quest block related to vehicle Failures when no Failure was currently active. The Failure quest will now automatically complete if no Failure exists.
Fixed a Workstation purchase quest block that could occur if the player had already bought a Workstation in Area A. The game will now properly detect this and complete the quest.
Fixed a worker hiring quest block. The game now checks whether the player already has a worker hired in Area A and completes the quest accordingly.
Fixed a Goods Station purchase quest block. As with the Workstation, the quest will now auto-complete if the station was previously purchased.
Fixed a Goods purchase quest block. The game now checks the player’s current Goods inventory when the quest requires a purchase—if the Goods are already owned, the quest will be completed.
Fixed the Furnace tutorial display area. The tutorial trigger zone on the Parcel has been reduced, allowing players to freely access the Parcel Computer and enable the Parcel tutorial without interference.
Fixed the Mini Crusher tutorial display issue. Standing near the Mini Crusher now correctly triggers its own tutorial instead of the Furnace tutorial.
