FUMES news & patch notes

ONLINE CO-OP IS HERE!

• Invite as many friends as your PC can handle (Steam allows up to 250, but you need NASA PC for that many).

• We designed gameplay for 1-6 drivers, but game will try to scale with more people.

• All your progress is shared between co-op and single player.

• Friendly fire option for annoying your friends.

• Progress through the whole game together (except intro and the last boss for now).

What to do if I need more friends?

We got you covered - join our Discord server to meet more fume guzzlers, share your skins and lobby codes: JOIN FUMES DISCORD SERVER

CO-OP development

We will keep improving, fixing and tweaking co-op with every update. Some things like last boss fight are not done, some things like vines are not yet synchronized over network.

Adding CO-OP required changing over 1200 files in the project, so expect certain amount of jank and bugs. As a tiny team of 3 people we couldn't test and fix all of them, but we are on it!

SULFUR x FUMES bundle

Together with Perfect Random with created a new bundle SULFUR x FUMES!

SULFUR just got a major update and it's on a juicy discount too, so check it out!

Also, check out this art of Telia made by our artist Zer0Frost:

FUMES team developer page

Other news is that we finally created a developer fanpage on Steam. Fun fact - Steam didn't allow to name it "FUMES team", because it contains "S team", so we went with "FUMES devs & friends" which tbh makes sense, because we are not a proper studio, we are a bunch of friends making games!

LINK: FUMES devs & friends

Roadmap and store page refresh

We refreshed FUMES roadmap, you can check it in the game or on our store page. Also, we added a ton of juicy GIFs on our store page to hypnotize people into buying our game.

OTHER CHANGES

Goal for this update was to add co-op (and plenty of new bugs with it), but we managed to squezze in a few new things and some tweaks too.

New suspensions

We added 6 new suspensions, including some missing ones for Caro, Unitrack and Warhorse and a brand new suspension for Warthog - Bulldog:

Brand new ramp

So all THPS fans out there can gain some extra air time!

Knockbacks rework WIP

We reworked and rebalanced weapon knockback. This was needed, because launching your friends with triple Mortar.NG can be quite addictive. Also, we are experimenting with a rocket jumping mechanic.

This is a very rough change and we will keep improving it based on your feedback.

Billboards

We added billboards with other indie games made by our close friends. Most of these games can be found in our bundles. These billboards can be destroyed, but only by flying through them. Thankfully, it turns out that someone placed some ramps near them.

If you are not a fan of such "ads" feel free to disable them in accessibility settings:

Two new achievements

• Better Together - join or create a lobby (just creating lobby will do if you don't want to play with others).

• Ad Block - smash a billboard.

To be honest we ran out o time to test these properly, hope they will work fine :D

Other changes and tweaks

• Removed excessive cutscenes from boss fights.

• Unitrack fenders added as togglable parts.

• Bizon fenders front and rear togglabe parts separated.

• Added automatic hiding of parts that are overlapping with suspensions.

• Bizon Digger and SixFoot suspensions width tweaks.

• Sabbath front hardpoints tweaks.

• Sabbath and Warthog Rover suspensions tweaks.

• Inhalers added to bossfights.

• Inhalers healing range and value tweaks.

• Intermission waves in skirmishes added.

• Triple overkill difficulty tweaks.

• Treadarius ram damage tweaks.

• Expirator intro boss hp buff.

• Flakwagon (Madd Cutts) bossfight difficulty tweaks.

• Sabbath steiger skirmish difficulty tweaks.

• Caro, Unitrack, Warhorse melee enemies added.

• Made the game run in the background when alt-tabbed etc. (needed for co-op).

• Rework of endgame activities selection.

• Some minor tweaks to enemies behaviour.

• Harvesters spawning improvements.

• Improved saves compatibility in demo and full game.

• Improvements of completed boss fight display in progress tab.

• Apparently infamous Bowie Knife racer infected FUMES world.

Fixes

• Sabbath enemies spawning fix.

• Performance can be finicky in both co-op and single-player.

• And many more in co-op... but this post is already too long :(

Most of above changes, except CO-OP, will be added to the demo soon!

As always, thank you all for your overwhelming support!

Hello scrappers!

FUMES is getting the most requested feature ever - CO-OP on July 16th.

Thank you for all your support! <3

Get wrecked together... soon!

Yoo, we are working on a few different things and we wanted to share some of them.

Also FUMES is currently 30% off, enjoy!

COOP mode

FUMES devs 30 seconds after entering coop for the first time (collisions testing).

This is not an official announcement yet, however we would like to share progress that we made with FUMES COOP.

It will be based on lobbies created by you and your Steam friends. You will be able to join a host game and progress it together. All loot and progress made together will be kept in your single player playthrough.

Max players count

We are designing coop in a way that there is no strict players limit (besides Steams maximum which is ~250), but we aim to make the game perform well and be fun up to ~6 players. More than that will be technically possible, but we can't guarantee that your PC won't explode and game will be fun and balanced.

For example we are bumping amount of enemies for coop, but we have to keep it in sane limits for performance reasons, so that's why playing with a lot of friends might throw game balance out of the window :D

How does our networking work?

It's based on a hybrid approach that mixes server and peer to peer approaches. All damage is also client authoritative, which means that combat should feel quite responsive.

So far, since last update, 602 game files were either changed, moved or deleted. This shows how much we need to modify the game to make coop work and we are still far away from finishing it. Basically, every feature need to be modified to make it synchronize over the network. Also, such amount of changes means that most likely we will introduce a record breaking amount of new bugs (:

City biome

We are also working on a new biome - city. Every building can be destructed. To make it work we created a new destruction tech that lets you chop away parts of the buildings or drive through them and collapse parts of them if chunks below them will be destroyed. On top of that, larger bosses can drive through them causing extreme mayhem (and a lag spike for now).

This tech is designed from the ground up with performance in mind, which is the biggest challenge since there are hundreds of these buildings in the city. This is still early work-in-progress, but so far it performs quite well and just slightly worse than some of the other game areas.

Thank you for your support. We will share more details about coop soon (tm)!

Hello Scrappers!

Patch v0.171 is out!

Thank you for all your feedback, it's helping us a lot with tweaks of the recent update :heart:

We will keep improving combat in upcoming updates and this patch is a first batch of these changes.

Fixes

• Fix for incorrect range of damage stat bars.

• Textures fixes on some wheels.

• Fixed one duplicated gaterun issue.

• Inhalers not spawning in convoy activities fix - there's at least 50% chance to to spawn Inhaler in wave.

• Hitch-hikers visuals tweaks.

• Fix for a small quit button hitbox, so you can exit the game more easily :(

Improvements

• Improvement to props crushing by bosses.

• Increased duration of most weather types.

• Increase of enemy healing range.

• Player healing tweaks.

• Pounder tweaks.

• Various weapons armor dmg tweaks (Pyreblitz included!).

• Hitch-hikers enemies spawning adjustments.

• Draken bossfight difficulty tweak.

Thank you for all your support, feedback and bug reports! <3

FUMES team

Hello!

New update is here and the game is 30% off right now!

So what's new?

Inhalers - a new, healing enemy type

They carry a tank full of flavorful fumes and will heal your ride when you take them out, but watch out - they will also heal nearby enemies.

This method of healing replaces old, automatic healing mechanic, but it's not present in a whole game yet - we will integrate it more in next updates, we need your feedback first.

Hitch-hikers - a new, armored enemy type

They are covered with overgrown things that will absorb all damage before you take the whole armor out. Each weapon peels armor with a different strength based on a new armor damage stat.

Armor damage weapon stat

All weapons have an armor damage stat now. This might require more caution, decisions and variety when choosing your loadouts.

Loading the game with previous saves will estimate this new stat on your already owned weapons to preserve their class, so you won't have to upgrade them again.

4 new stickers

New freeroamers with Sabbath, Caro, Warhorse and Unitrack bodies

Improvements

• Minescrap damage buff.

• Jook follower enemy HP increase.

• HP refill values buffed for some bodies.

• Bizon nitro values tweaks.

• Difficulty tweaks related to Inhalers and Hitch-hikers.

Fixes

• Fixed incorrect size and filtering on one rim texture.

• Correction of offsets on some Caro and Bizon suspensions.

• Minor improvements of translations.

Known issues related to this update

• Damage stats bars range is not correct.

• Difficulty might be all over the place (we need your feedback lol).

Behind the scenes changes

• Rework of world seed logic that will allow better integration of gameplay and world generation.

• We are working on a new city biome that will feature new, dynamic destruction system for all buildings in it.

• We started creating new system that will let us cover the world with overgrown vines.

• Project clean up here and there.

Thank you for all your support and feedback, we wouldn't be able to keep working on the game without you!

Hey guys!

We fixed few things that slipped in the last update:

• Fixed Triple Overkill loot.

• Fixed possibility to insta-kill boss on transition second stage.

• Fixed Draken steiger name.

• Fixed Surgeon Sorrow boss fight required before Draken boss fight.

Thank you for all your support, feedback and bug reports! <3

FUMES team

Hello Scrappers, new FUMES update is here!

In the recent months we were quite busy prototyping coop mode. We still can't promise it will happen - we have to make sure that we can solve both gameplay and technical challenges first, but we are on it! Despite sinking our teeth into coop, we spent the rest of our time on this update, hope you will enjoy!

Also, enjoy -30% discount!

A new car - Sabbath

A new car means a new boss: Draken

Extras and Triple Overkill challenge

FUMES team

It's time. Merry Christmas Scrappers and happy WINTER SALE!

Update v0.15 contains:

New boss - Overseer Treadarius!

New Overseer rank boss is here. No spoilers, just try it and let it crush you! (and let us know if we overdid the difficulty)

If you played through the whole game already this update will set this boss as the next one, but you won't lose any progress.

Progress reset button

BUT if you would like to play through the whole game again while using all of your collected toys - now you can. We added a button in progress tab that will reset bosses progress, but your inventory/cars will remain intact, so it's a bit like "new game+" mode in some games.

Also, we made progress panel a bit more useful. This is still not what's intended for the final game, but we are getting there.

Wheels customization

Over 20 wheels are available which are combinations of hand painted rims and tires.

You can get them in the same ways like other parts and equip them in Suspensions tab. For now they don't have any stats, but we are looking into incorporating grip stats on them in the future. Wheels customization is available in the demo too, but it's limited to a few wheels.

Puncturing tires

We added often requested ability to puncture tires to most enemies. This will make them a bit slower and easier to hit.

Changes to second phases of boss fights

We know many of you were not happy with bosses regenerating health in second phases, so we got rid of that, although they will get more angry and more resilient after certain amount of damage.

We added 20 new skins!

Your skins on free roamers

Often requested feature - free roaming cars will now use your custom and imported skins from time to time.

Rise and shine

Night sky shader was reworked. Now it features more stars then ever with a weirdly tinted band of a galactic dust. Also, stars are looking correct when zooming in in photo mode.

Christmas easter egg

From now on the game will light up a bit during Christmas time. We added it today and run out of time to add an option to turn it off, but if you feel like Grinch today you can change the date on your PC to be before 22.12 and restart the game.

Other additions

• Added 8 new enemies (including some with MortarNG and some newest cars).

• Added dust storms nearby Twister anomalies.

• Re-added old "Major" Jook boss to endgame bosses.

• Added stats reset confirmation prompt.

• Added a few new enemy shouts.

Tweaks and improvements

• Improvements to pirates spawning logic.

• Improved brake glow.

• Improvements to tire deformation.

• Wheels shading improvements.

• Multiple small difficulty tweaks for endgame bosses.

• Beam Father boss difficulty tweaks.

• Tweaks to some activities setup.

• Tweaks of behavior of enemies with Minescrap in convoys.

• Multiple suspensions bonuses tweaks and fixes.

• Bizon body HP range increased.

• Griffin 3D model tweak.

Fixes

• Fix of fighting free roamers attacking player from both sides when attacked.

• Fix for scrapper being targeted by aim assist.

• Fixed camera rotation in photo mode when using gamepad.

• Fixed multiple mud related terrain issues.

• Skin editor Weapons toggle fix.

• Skin editor side masks fixes for all cars (might slightly affect some custom skins).

• Translations tweaks and fixes.

"Under the hood" changes

• Project cleanup.

• Steam integration update.

• Some code changes needed for networking.

Merry Christmas and thank you for all your support, it means a lot!

Hi guys, thank you for all your reports and feedback! We fixed bunch of issues for the full game and some for the demo.

Fixes

• Fixed excessive loot granting after Industrius fight.

• Fixed not being able remap controls to B gamepad button.

• Fix for cutscene being stuck when defeating bosses with Keybell.

• Fixed Keybell description.

• Fix for Keybell not being awarded when 5Rally achievement is already unlocked (for example when resetting the save).

• Fix for some car/bosses achievements not being automatically awarded when car is already unlocked.

• Fix for some achievements printing during cutscene.

• Get Grinded achievement fix.

• Fixed splash screen reappearing.

Other changes

• Minor achievements related performance optimizations.

• Most likely a bunch of new bugs (:

Happy scrapping!

Hello there, a new FUMES update just dropped!

Achievements

Many of you asked us about achievements so we added them. Some of them will auto complete on game launch if you already passed the requirement and some will require doing some new things or beating some bosses again in the endgame.

You can inspect achievements progress in in-game Stats menu. Also, we plan to add more achievements in future updates.

New "car" added

Completing one of the achievements will grant you a special easter egg "car" called Keybell. Our goal was always to make cars in FUMES feel "shitty", but with this one we think we reached the next level. Check out list of achievements to find out which one will drop you this gem of post-apocalyptic engineering :)

Gamepad aim assist

Since we suck at aiming with gamepad and we really like to play FUMES with gamepad we implemented aim assist. Our goal was that it assists you a lot, but it still requires aiming and rewards being accurate.

To be honest designing this was quite challenging since in FUMES you shoot many projectiles with different velocities, arcs etc. at the same time, so it's different than in most FPS/TPS games.

You can adjust strength of it in Controls settings:

Other changes

New content

• Special Keybell body.

• Two suspensions for Keybell.

• 3 new skins (for Caro, Tartarus and Warhorse).

Fixes

• Fixed cargo being not shown sometimes during loot showcase.

• Translations fixes and improvements.

• Griffin Promoter skin fix.

• Added some loot to Industrius (not shown currently though).

• Fix of nitro refill during air time.

• Fixed incorrect air time stat counting.

• Fixed intro mission saving.

• Various printer fixes.

• Endgame game finish panel fix.

Tweaks

• Industrius difficulty tweaks.

• Bizon bullet suspensions tweaks.

• Rocket Launcher range increased.

• Pounder range increased.

• Rotor range and dmg buff.

• Automat accuracy small tweaks.

Known issues (related to this update)

• Achievement unlocked message displays incorrectly during cutscenes.

• Keybell body description is not shown correctly.

• Car achievements may not be recognized if you have no body in inventory (so used in your car).

What's next?

• Steam Deck verification.

• Fixes, tweaks etc.

• New gameplay stuff.

Thank you for your overwhelming support and happy scrapping!

Hi!

Some of you might have heard - recently there was a security vulnerability discovered that was affecting games made with older Unity version, so we had to update it and that's the main reason for this patch.

Some details about the security issue: https://flatt.tech/research/posts/arbitrary-code-execution-in-unity-runtime/

What if I'm using an older version of FUMES? What about other Unity games that are not getting patched?

In that case you can use this patcher thingy to stay safe: https://discussions.unity.com/t/cve-2025-59489-patcher-tool/1688032

Faster game startup

Also, we disabled the splash screen at the start of the game, so you can inhale FUMES much faster now!

This patch is live for both full and demo version of FUMES.

Previous update beta branch

We added previous_update beta branch that will let you access last update if something won't work. Let us know about any issues.

What's next?

We decided that the next update will focus on fixes, improvements and requested by many of you Steam achievements. Also, we will try to squeeze further controller support improvements.

Thank you for all your support! <3

FUMES team

Fume Harvesters came to life

Many of you requested more things to do in the game, so we started adding stuff. Do you know these large tracked rigs roaming around aimlessly? They are called Fume Harvesters and now you use them to get more cargo:

• Choose the best load out to hunt them, just keep in mind they can bite!

• Try to free as much cargo as you can before it's gone or neutralize defense systems first.

• Collect all dropped boxes, just watch out for pirates!

• Exchange all packages in Anomaly Stations for more parts to upgrade.

Motordoom bundle

We had a Motordoom skin for Griffin in the game for a while, but now we bundled with this epic retro gem. Check it out below this post - it will be cheaper to get by completing the bundle if you already own FUMES or Motordoom!

Insane Polon fan art build!

Built by extremely talented Clemens Heegemann from Austria. "I build this model out of paper and paper mache, then colored it with acrylic paint. I took several screenshots ingame and used them as a template. Took me about 30 hours within 3 1/2 weeks to finish the model." This is insane! we are speechless! Thanks man! <3

Other tweaks and fixes

• Couple new enemy skins added for Caro, Jook and Warhorse.

• Added option to disable UI flickering by setting glitch slider to zero.

• Increased cargo markers visibility from 50m to 100m.

• Fix for Tartarus engine clipping through hood when reving

• Fix for inverted normals in Minescrap model.

• Jook sides areas in skin editor tweaks (might affect some custom skins).

• Some Jook textures fixes.

• Some translations and wording fixes.

• Added lens flares to boss turrets.

• Fixed muzzle flares on boss turrets not disappearing sometimes.

• Flakwagon and Bizon slots tweaks.

• Polon Offroad suspension tweaks

• Compass fixes and optimizations.

Most of changes from this update are applicable to demo as well!

Don't forget that FUMES, soundtrack and supporter pack are all on sale right now.

Thank you for all your support people, it means a lot! <3

FUMES team

Thank you for all your support, feedback and bug reports! <3

FUMES team

Hi guys! This update focuses on proper gamepad support and improvements to loot dropping. Also, everything is on a juicy sale - the game, Supporter Pack and Soundtrack, check it out!

Controller support overhaul

We added controller support to all menus, except skin editor and few things here and there. This means game should be much more playable with controller and on Steam Deck.

• Added gamepad navigation to menus.

• Added rumble/vibration for gamepads (can be adjusted in settings).

• Added missing input glyphs.

• Adjusted font sizes on some UI to make text more readable on Steam Deck.

• Various buttons remapped. Because of this we had to reset controls setting - adjust them if needed.

• Rework of controls remapping UI to make it easier to use.

• Added separate controls categories for gameplay, menus and photo mode.

• Known issue - some times escape needs to be pressed to register a gamepad at the start of the game. Also you might need to clear/adjust bindings in Steam Input.

Since we are a small team, we couldn't test too many controllers/systems etc., so let us know if you encounter any problems!

Also, some of you wondered why our default gamepad mapping is not setup like in most racing games. The reason for that is that we also have shooting, so we had to go for some compromise between driving and TPS games. That said - feel free to adjust controls to your liking in the settings.

Mouse/gamepad smoothing and acceleration settings

We added these in settings as an experiment - to be honest we are not sure how people like to use them, so let us know if you have any suggestions!

Where is my auto aim?

Some of you asked for auto aim, which we would love to add since we simply suck at aiming with gamepads, but this requires much more work, so we skipped it for this update.

Steering wheel improvements

Steering wheel got various fixes and tweaks. It's still experimental, but it should be much more usable now. We set up mappings for Logitech G29. Other wheels should work, but they will probably require remapping and adjusting force feedback strength in settings. And to be clear - wheel is not really intended for combat, use it for driving/racing only or together with a mouse. Have fun with experimenting!

Loot changes!

Some of you were not happy with how loot works in the game, it felt too grindy or too random. This is something that we will be adjuting with every update, here are related changes from today:

• Higher chance of dropping suspensions for car you are currently driving.

• Bossfights loot various buffs and fixes.

• Bavarius, Sharknador and Inudstrius loot fixes.

• Loot grades system tweaks.

• Endgame-only bosses loot increased.

Other changes and fixes:

• Various UI tweaks and fixes.

• Photo mode camera movement rework.

• Fix for steering wheel causing mouse to disappear.

• Added a printer notification for engine ignition.

• Fix for wrong count of unlocked Warthog and Bizon skins.

• Fix for wrong Convoy Hijack enemies selection.

• Surgeon Sorrow boss fight difficulty tweaks.

• Some translation fixes.

• Controls settings were moved to a separate settings file in saves location.

Also, one person asked for a key to quickly open a photo mode. So we added it under a P key. Feel free to rebind it in settings :)

By the way - demo was also updated with all applicable changes.

What's next on our radar?

• More fixes.

• Controller support for skin editor and text inputs.

• Achievements.

• Steam Deck verification.

• ...and more... you tell us!

As always, thank you for playing and your overwhelming support, this means a lot to us!

It's time, we are taking part in the Steam Next Fest and we prepared a major demo update.

Meet Industrius - a brand new type of a colossus boss fight, in a first couple minutes of the demo. He is... different. Go meet him and tell your friends about it!

We added a couple new game modes, like Convoy Defend, Convoy Intercept and Steiger Skirmish.

Delivery gameplay - equip cargo modules, steal some packages and deliver them to anomaly stations to research new ways of defeating your foes.

Anomalies? Not gonna spoil them, sorry, but here is a screenshot:

Brand new terrain that includes mountains, narrow passages and deadly drops!

Driving physics got a major rework to accommodate new terrain and mud gameplay.

We are working on more customization - this update features option to detach certain parts of the car. On top of that, you can detach them from enemies too (but for that you need guns).

Now you can upgrade weapons, suspensions, bodies and cargo modules to better grades by combining them.

Pretty much every part of the game got improvements. For example, this is new scrapper interior:

And as always, thank you for your AMAZING support!!!

Hello mayhem walkers!

• Environmental hazards that can be found and used during fights to obliterate packs of enemies.

• Exploding barrels are now dealing damage.
• Toilets can sometimes explode.

• Skippable cutscenes!
• Weapons volume slider.
• Bugfix of screenshake going crazy.
• Some other minor tweaks and bugfixes.

• Mountains!
• You can go everywhere. Map is still infinite.
• Draw distance up to 5km.
• As always, fog everywhere!
• Heavy use of multithreading which makes it quite fast on CPUs with more than 2 cores.
