OHV news & patch notes

Next update will be delayed because I decided to add new location to the game (housing blocks near state farm) and hitchhiker. Update will be relased on July 28.

Two short videos with new stuff coming into the game (music by https://www.youtube.com/@smiti_music6776):

Thanks for your patience. I'm getting back to squeezing as much as possible into the update before release.

25% discount until June 4th

What am I currently working on?

Fuel consumption system, gas station, cargo trailer:

Hunger and thirst system, new drinks and food:

A new location, small lakeside resort. Here you can sunbathe, grill, wash your car faster in the water, and go fishing:

New places on the map:

Unless something stands in the way, I plan to release the update at the end of June, and then I will add a detailed changelog. In the meantime, 25% off from May 21st to June 4th.

I'm currently working on interiors for the main story locations and the NPCs that will appear in them. No more talking to black walls. I'm also adding a card game. If you are reading this news in english there is high probability you are not familiar with this game. It's called "makao" and its widely known in Poland.

The card game will feature a high-stakes revard in the form of this camper trailer. The trailer currently serves as a mobile bed - save point. (thanks to the author of https://sketchfab.com/Cnodax for providing the model for modifications in the game):Currently, a car hitch can be attached to the Kredens car. As for the possibility of adding other trailers to the game, such as a cargo trailer, it all depends on how stable the trailer physics will be. From my initial tests, it's quite good (I didn't get launched into the air). I'm also making other minor changes and bug fixes. I've slightly changed the game's loading system. There will no longer be a black screen. Progress will be shown, and if the game fails to load, an error will appear on the screen. I've also smoothed out the roadside ditches. Unfortunately, because I'm working on bigger changes, I can't release these small changes separately.

Thank you for your attention and I'm going back to work on the game.

Currently im working on following Quality of life improvements:

• changes to the item pickup system – once picked up, items will retain their position and rotation. Dropping items will be done with a single press of the \ button, and holding the \ button will allow rotation and distance changes as currently. Pressing the \ button will reset the position and rotation to default values. This option will be available in the game options. If the system proves successful and causes no errors, it will be implemented as a standard system.

• auto welding option - once you've reached the maximum "Welder" skill level, you'll be able to automatically weld elements. The electrodes in the welding machine will be still required.

• ignoring collisions when building - after reaching the maximum level of the "Construction" skill (a new skill in the game), it will be possible to disable collision checking when matching an element (connection will still be required)

• auto nailing option - after reaching the maximum level of the "Carpenter" skill (a new skill in the game), it will be possible to enable automatic nailing of elements

• the ability to edit the element connected to a given lever after using the Multitool

• simplified steel plate cutting mode – after using the cutting mat, you will only be able to target the SAM vehicle element. No connection or collision checks will be performed on the cut plate. The game will assume that the cut plate is connected to the originally initially selected element. After accepting the selected shape, the plate will be immediately ready for welding (position and rotation adjustment step will be removed from game). The welding area will be increased to cover the entire plate surface, eliminating the need to aim at a single point.

• adding a screen to the game menu with a preview of the current skills levels and unlocked perks

If you have any other suggestions or ideas regading QoL, this is a good time and place to write them in the comments.

Recently I mentioned that I would like to introduce ability to add custom vehicles to the game. Directly to the /mods folder. With a pre-defined files structure, the ability to paint vehicles, but not the ability to replace parts. Before I begin work on that system, I need to know if anyone would be interested in creating such modifications, and if so, I'd like to hear their opinion on the potential system. That's why I invite you to join the discord channel dedicated to this system.

If you would like to create a vehicle for the game in the future, this is a good time and place to express your opinion on discord. And now some screenshots of user-created buildings. Garage for Kredensa (dawid112)

Carport for OHV (Euromoney)

Construction site (Grzelciu)

Existing game saves are compatible with new update. To start new part time job quest line visit bulletin board. To spawn new uqnie items (Foreman's Handbook) activate wooden toolbox in garage twice. Bugs and balace suggestions can be reported here

Thank you for the patience and have fun!

Update will be released on 16.12. Existing save games will be compatible. The most important thing for non-polish players, missing translations, has been addressed.

What has changed since changelog from 3 weeks ago?

• rework of wall and foundation construction. The previous system, based on prefabricated elements with predetermined size and material, has been discarded. The new system allows for dynamic adjustment of wall height and width. The increments are 25 cm, with a maximum height limit of 2.5 m for a single wall and a maximum width limit of 3 m.

• lamps addedd to building system

• custom posters added to the building system. A .png file (512x512 or multiples) must be added to the mods/posters/.png folder. The in-game poster is a square with sides of 1m. Posters support transparency, so when uploading an image, you can set any proportions.

• addded possibility of purchasing previously stolen or lost items (e.g. paints)

• new paint colors added, including the factory one from Odra, and a preview of the paint color in the store in the form of colored text

• increasing the number of achievements from 15 to 21

• rebalancing muscle progression, exercises will be easier and gains will be faster in the initial phase of the game

• cassettes can be inserted into the portable radio

• due to limitations in the physics engine, cuted metal plates will always have square collisions, even if the plate is cut, for example, in a star shape. A preview of the generated collision is available both during cutting and welding. When welding a plate to a SAM vehicle, it is possible to completely disable plate collision and leave it as a decorative element.

• it turned out that the speedometer in the OHV was incorrectly calibrated, so your vehicles will unfortunately be slower after the update

• Steam Workshop for custom building elements and the SAM elements has been removed. The situation is similar to that with custom casettes. I can't allow any elements to be uploaded to the official workshop. Furthermore, getting the entire custom parts system up and running will take at least a 3 monts of work, as it's impossible to predict what models users will upload, and you need to be prepared for many eventualities. I'd rather spend this time developing the game's main story. Instead, the ability to upload your own vehicles to the game will be introduced, directly to the /mods folder. With predefined structure and limited options (the ability to paint the vehicle, but not to replace parts). This functionality won't be available until the second half of 2026 at the earliest.

• Steam Workshop for sharing user created in game SAM and buildings is being postponed, but not removed. It will launch once SAM and building support are stable following feedback from Early Access players

What's next? Over the next two months, bug fixes and the introduction of the overdue Steam Workshop for user-created SAM and buildings .

Next, I want to focus on the main storyline and the game's main vehicle. I don't plan on doing any more jobs or side quests (the exception is one major activity I didn't manage to finish in time for this year's update).

The update is currently in playtest phase. The release is expected in about two to three weeks. Apart from new features I focused on adding missing translations for various game elements, so I think that the game will be more accessible to non-polish players after the update.

Hello, here's a brief outline of what will be included in upcoming update.

I was focusing on diversifying sources of income. A total of four new types of jobs will be added. Demolition. There will be three variants of this work.

Digging foundations. Three variants, with varying degrees of difficulty.

Replacing damaged insulation. One building in three different versions

Cutting old planks.

Starting new jobs will require calling the phone number provided on the notice board. Unlocking subsequent jobs will require completing previous ones.

I also implemented achievements, there will be around15 of them. As for the update's release date, unfortunately, I can't provide anything specific. Thank you for your patience.

Hello, work on the update is in full swing. The building construction system has been extended. What can be build? For example new garage for SAM vehicles, which limit has been increased to 3. Vehicles can be shared on Steam Workshop. You can also add custom building elements and SAM element to Steam workshop.

The sheet metal plate system has been completely overhauled. The division into cuttable and paintable plates is over. Both types will be removed from the game (unfortunately, also from existing vehicles). A new item will be introduced that allows you to cut your own steel plate shapes. Custom steel plate can be painted on both sides.

There will also be new items such as lamps, speakers, hinges and actuators (with the possibility of welding other elements to them).

The wheel position will be adjustable regardless of the length and width of the floor plate. The wheels can be attached to already welded pipes.

I also implemented some of your ideas. Pipes steel can be ordered through the phone (unlocked alongside game progress).Kitchen cabinets will be interactive. Welding, cleaning and polishing system will have simple progression system,

Right now I can't share any date when update will be relased. Thank you for your patience

I'm currently working on a larger update that will focus on new mechanics not related to the main vehicle in the game.

These will include a building system and the ability to share buildings with other users via the Steam Workshop.. Unfortunately, I cannot yet give a specific date for the update to come out. I can only promise that it will be the biggest update that has come out so far.

Thank you for your patience. Sorry for lack of updates since february, but I want to release polished mechanics.

Couple screenshots from "work in progress" version (sorry for polish subtitles, translations are not finished yet):
