Demo Update v1.1.0: Physics, Dumpster and Interface Polish

Dumpster Diving Simulator · published

Hello trash hunters!

A huge thank you to everyone who played the demo and sent us feedback. We read every single message, and this update fixes the issues you mentioned the most.

Item Physics and Truck Bed

  • Heavy items with complex shapes like sofas, chairs, tables and shelves now collide using their real shape. You can fit other items under a chair or into the gap next to a sofa.
  • Only items you place by hand get secured in the truck bed. Items you bump into while driving no longer stick to your vehicle.
  • Items that hang slightly over the edge of the bed no longer fall off on their own while driving.
  • Fixed shaking, launching and flipping when driving over or into items.
  • Fixed the pickup sliding out at the rear in corners as if it were on ice.
  • Pedestrians no longer walk through your parked vehicle, they walk around it.
  • Fixed pedestrians going back and forth at crosswalks.

Dumpsters

  • Fixed items getting stuck at the bottom or in the corner of a dumpster. If you can see the tip of an item, you can now click and take it.
  • Items that slip below the floor now return to the top of the pile automatically. No more "1 item left" that you can never find.
  • The dumpster screen now closes on its own once you find every item inside.
  • Fixed a bug where your character could not move after the dumpster screen closed.

Trash Bags

  • Two bags now merge when they touch, even if their total is over 10. The fuller bag is filled up to 10 and the rest stays in the other one. For example, bags with 9 and 5 items become 10 and 4.
  • While holding a bag, look at a bag on the ground and press to swap them. Dropping a full bag and grabbing a new one is now much easier.

Health Is Now Sickness

  • The Health bar is now called Sickness. Just like Fatigue and Hunger, it starts at 0 and rises as you dig through trash.
  • Showers still reduce sickness, but you now need to wait at least 8 in game hours between showers. Don't forget to visit the pharmacy for real treatment!

The Pickup in the Barn Quest

  • The battery, engine oil and tire pump now appear with a QUEST tag when you find them in the trash, so you instantly know you found the right part.
  • Quest parts no longer go into trash bags. They go straight into your inventory.
  • The battery that drops in front of the dumpster now has a purple QUEST tag above it, so you won't miss it anymore.

Other

  • All new texts have been added to all 13 supported languages.
  • Various small bug fixes and improvements.
