Hotfix for patch #10

Ashes of the Union · published · build 24224889

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.
