Hey, drivers! I'm pleased to announce the start of testing for version 21 of the game. This update focuses on advanced farming. Since players will now be able to craft a large variety of dishes, a system has been implemented for a gradual reduction in provisions found while moving from one location to another. This solution will create a real necessity for farming and cooking.
The main goal of the testing is to evaluate the balance of ingredients received for cooking alongside a simultaneous decrease in food supplies that players can find during looting of locations. All current innovations are detailed below.
