🧰Hotfix – Gameplay Polish, Quest Clarity & Tutorial Fixes!🧰

Dear Junkers! ✨

Welcome to the New Year 2026! Many of you asked for these fixes — and for you, dear Junkers… we always try to go the extra mile. ❤️
That’s why the hotfix is already live.

Thank you for being with us, for your patience, feedback, and constant support. Even right at the end of the year, we’re still polishing the game and responding to your reports.

We wish you a great start to the New Year and plenty of energy for everything ahead — both in real life and in the Junkyard!
And now… it’s update time 🚀

Full Hotfix Details

⚙️ Hangar Vehicle Sale Freeze Fix

• Fixed a critical issue where the game could become stuck on the “Do you want to sell this vehicle?” confirmation screen when selling a car from the Hangar in Story Mode.

• Resolved a bug where the Yes / No selection UI would stop responding, leaving the confirmation window permanently visible while the player could still move the camera or character.

• This issue occurred consistently on some devices (including Lenovo Legion Go S) and required restarting the game — it has now been fully addressed.

• Improved input handling and UI state cleanup to ensure the confirmation dialog always properly closes after a selection or timeout.

⚙️ Gameplay & Machines

• Added smooth acceleration to the Crusher while moving the machine. When holding a movement direction, the Crusher now gradually accelerates up to a defined speed, and smoothly slows down after releasing the input.

🗺️ Fast Travel & World Interaction

• Fixed an issue where the Fast Travel Board could lose the interaction widget (Press E), even though the player was standing within the valid activation area.

📜 Quest Fixes & Clarity

• Updated the in-world quest description for Quest 4 related to renovating 2 items.
  The misleading text “Renovated items” has been replaced with the correct instruction “Renovate items”.

• Fixed the objective location marker for the renovate 2 items quest.
  Previously, the marker incorrectly pointed to a storage container instead of the renovation workstation where the items were actually located.

📘 Tutorial Improvements

• Unified the wording of “Tow Truck” in the wreck-loading tutorial so all languages now use the same, consistent term already used throughout the game.

• Fixed a missing space between the [LMB] key hint and the following sentence on page 3 of the vehicle tutorial, improving readability.

Thanks so much for your support and help in developing the game — you are the best Junkmen we know!
