Dear Junkers! 🎄✨
We know we already shared holiday wishes with you last week — but hey, it’s Christmas and New Year time, so why not wish you all the best once again! 😊
Thank you for being with us, for your patience, feedback, and constant support. As we move toward the New Year, we’re still polishing the game and delivering hotfixes based directly on your reports.
Wishing you calm holidays, a great start to the New Year, and plenty of energy for everything ahead — both in real life and in Junkyard!
Now, let’s get to the update. 🚀
Reworked Parcel Quest safeguards. If the player completed Parcel-related actions earlier than required by the quest, the Parcel Quest will no longer break or be skipped. Quest progress is now validated against the actual Parcel state (e.g. Parcel already purchased → Parcel purchase step completed).
Secured Parcel purchasing in Story Mode. Players can no longer buy the Parcel before the appropriate quest step becomes active.
Fixed a potential game block when entering a vehicle while opening the Backpack at the same time [B].
Fixed the sentence order in the tutorial explaining resource acquisition for the Stationary Crusher.
Added guidance arrows for the Current Quest Objective tutorial.
Added a new page to the Current Quest Objective tutorial, reminding players about the minimap, 3D markers, compass, and quest icon on the Large Map.
Fixed an issue where paintable walls could appear on the Parcel without textures.
Improved hint visibility when using the Parcel Computer:
Tab hint now animates to an orange color.
Arrow hint now animates to an orange color.
Added a tutorial for picking up items during the trash-cleaning quest.
Fixed an excessively large trigger range for hammer-destroyed item tutorials, which could block other expected tutorials from appearing.
Added a new tutorial for Fast Travel Boards.
Added a new tutorial for the Upgrade Station.
Added a new tutorial explaining the Backpack mechanics.
Added a tutorial prompt when standing near the Bluecar vehicle found in the world.
Fixed a typo in a new tutorial:
“Two-Post Lift” → “Two-Column Lift” to avoid confusion with other machines.
Improved the Upgrade Station tutorial so that, during the Tow Truck upgrade quest, the tutorial is visible from a greater distance rather than only at very close range.
Unified the Tow Truck naming in the new tutorial to match existing language consistency.
Added a tutorial for quests requiring selling resources on the market using the tablet. Pressing [T] now explains the selling process in more detail.
Added a proper tutorial after pressing [T] during the Cart Reset quest, fixing player progression issues caused by misunderstanding the mechanic.
Added a tutorial after pressing [T] while standing near a wreck intended for Tow Truck transport, explaining both wreck mechanics and Tow Truck usage.
We’re getting a ton of feedback from you — thank you so much for that!
Thanks so much for your support and help in developing the game — you are the best Junkmen we know!
