New
- Added a scrap metal system. Unlock the scrap metal tech in the research tree, then while driving around the world you’ll find scrap at loot spots with a 5% chance. Use it to upgrade your vehicles — each level permanently adds HP and armor. Soviet recycling: today a UAZ body panel, tomorrow +5 armor for your heart on wheels.
Balance
- For the "Aerodynamic Tests" data, the max speed requirement was lowered from 100 to 50 km/h. Even the GAZ 69 can pretend to be a sports car now — just don’t say that out loud.
- Slightly increased grip on all surface types, because the GAZ 69 was handling like an iron.
- Disabled the rock generation system under the wheels. Light vibration of the wheels and chassis looks good when you’re flying over flat ground. But on rough terrain — with a swarm of hungry bugs behind you — it was just adding difficulty. The rocks went on a well-earned vacation. The bugs did not.
- Increased the DPS of the "Lavender" weapon. Smells like peace. Hits like a chainsaw.
Bugs
- Fixed explosive projectiles
- Fixed the "Lavender" projectile. It now hits where you’re aiming, not the neighboring time zone.
- Fixed bugs stretching upward on despawn. No more living chitin skyscrapers.
- Fixed the laser beam — it no longer passes through bugs
- The shotgun no longer applies impulse to a dead bug, reducing the chance of corpse spin mania. The free-spin merry-go-round is closed.
- Fixed a den bug where it wouldn’t react to the player. The den is no longer on mute.
- Fixed a bug comparing speed to the required value when earning speed data
- Fixed bugs with the popup panels that showed collected loot and data
- Fixed a bug with resetting colliders on trees you’d driven away from. Trees no longer hold a grudge from a distance.
