First steps, clearer costs and protected offline progress

Hello everyone,

This update helps you get through your first deliveries and makes it clearer when your company earns money and which running costs apply.

Getting started

• New companies receive a skippable guide for their first three deliveries. It suggests suitable existing jobs at the vehicle's location and explains the delivery results.
• You can reopen the guide with “First Steps” above the map. After three deliveries, it leads to the existing company goals.
• New time controls show the pause status and the next fixed-cost payment. Use P or the pause button to take time to plan.
• Game time and costs pause while you read decision dialogs, settings, company views or the introductory guide.

Costs and offline progress

Job contribution and company profit are now explained more clearly: fuel, tolls and wear belong to the delivery; wages, depot operating costs and leasing are booked separately.

When loading a save, active trips and workshop work continue. The dispatcher may also continue work it can start immediately. Once no work remains and the dispatcher cannot immediately start a job, offline progress stops. The remaining idle time no longer generates costs. The cap remains 24 hours of offline simulation; normal costs still apply during work that is actually simulated. Manual pause applies to the current play session only.

Saving and controls

• Fixed an issue where changes made within ten seconds of a manual save could be lost when quitting.
• ESC closes the open decision dialog before opening the system menu.
• Existing saves remain compatible. Starting cash, prices, rewards and unlock thresholds are unchanged.

Thank you for your feedback! Please let us know where you still have questions when getting started.
