Dear Junkers! 🔧😄

This update may look small on paper, but it addresses a number of highly visible problems and makes the overall experience much smoother and more intuitive.


🔧 What’s fixed & improved

♻️ Scrap & Stationary Press Improvements

We’ve resolved several issues related to one of your most-used machines:

  • Fixed invisible scrap piles when using the Stationary Press

  • Improved visibility of the scrap weight counter (both collected and processed values)

  • Fixed missing keybind hints while operating the Stationary Press

These changes should make the entire scrapping loop feel more responsive, readable, and reliable.


📘 Tutorial & Progression Fixes

We’ve tackled a blocking issue that could prevent players from progressing:

  • Fixed the Crusher tutorial getting stuck on the first step

  • Ensured proper progression flow so tutorials now complete as intended

No more confusion — tutorials should now guide you smoothly through mechanics.


🧭 UI & Visual Feedback Fixes

A number of visual bugs have been cleaned up to improve immersion and clarity:

  • Fixed the 3D widget following quest items held in hands

  • Fixed an issue where the fast travel board 3D icon could remain stuck on screen

  • Improved visibility of the vehicle assembly widget in the garage behind the workshop

These fixes reduce screen clutter and ensure UI elements behave consistently.


🎮 Graphics Settings Overhaul

We’ve reworked the graphics settings to make them simpler and more practical:

  • Reduced unnecessary or confusing options

  • Focused on the most important settings that actually impact visuals and performance

  • Made it easier to quickly achieve a good-looking and stable configuration

The goal here is simple: less tweaking, better results.


🙏 Thank you

Big thanks to everyone who reported these issues and shared feedback — it really helps us prioritize what matters most.

Your input directly led to these fixes 💛


More improvements, optimizations, and new features are already in the works — stay tuned! 🚀

We’re continuously working on improving both gameplay systems and localization quality.

Thank you for being part of the journey — more updates are coming! 🚀

The game is constantly being developed — I strongly recommend checking the integrity of the game files!


Massive junkyard hugs from your favorite rust whisperer —

Junkman Adrian 😎🛠️💛
