Hello, fellow drivers! We’ve got another update! Thanks to everyone who helped with the test! Before we dive into the update: If you’re using MODs and your game crashes, please try uninstalling MODs. If you run into strange bugs, uninstalling MODs is also a good first step.


New Content & Features

Civo Bus

A new low-floor city bus, Civo, is now available at the bus dealer. Civo can kneel its right side for easier boarding. It also comes with a reversing camera.

Longhorn Semi 4x2

A new Longhorn Semi 4x2 day-cab tractor joins the lineup.

Elisa2

A new sedan, the Elisa2, is now available at the dealer, with an openable trunk. A police-spec Elisa2 also joins police service, replacing the old Elisa.

Tuned Police Vehicle

The Nuke Police GT is now available at the Police Station vehicle spawner.

Food

You can now buy coffee and donuts at the Cafe. They improve your stamina and your running speed while carrying heavy items, and the buff is shown on the vendor.

Light Flash Pattern Offset

(Thanks to Ghosty, Skirakzalus, spigeon) Attachment lights now have a flash-pattern offset option in the light menu. Offsetting a light shifts its on/off timing so lights flash out of phase with each other — letting you build alternating wig-wag patterns instead of every light blinking in unison.

Housing Driveways

You can now pave and tile the space between your property and the road, including driveways. Floor tiles are sold at the Building Materials vendor in the Gangjung Hardware Store. A placement adjustment menu for buildings and parking spots has been added, too.

New Quest UI

A new tree-based Quest UI has been introduced, with auto-tracking for your next quest. More tutorial quests for beginners will be added — let us know what you think on our Discord.

Comfort Mood System

Passenger comfort now looks at the whole trip, including hard braking, sharp turns, and collisions. Smooth driving can recover comfort between rough moments, so one bump no longer ruins a long route. The HUD shows both the final comfort score you are building toward and live feedback while you drive; passenger ratings and tips will continue to be tuned.

Autopilot Settings & Cinematic Camera

Autopilot now has detailed settings, including a configurable wait duration at bus stops. While autopilot is driving, press the camera key to cycle to cinematic camera modes — an orbiting view and a fly-by view. The camera returns to your previous mode when autopilot is turned off.

Cargo Load Target Selection

When picking up cargo for a delivery, you can now choose which cargo space to load into, instead of always filling the truck first. This is handy for truck + dolly + multi-trailer setups where you want to control where each cargo goes.

Inventory Hotkey

(Thanks to WildFire, Bob The Mad Man) You can now open your inventory directly with a hotkey: I on the keyboard, or LB + B on a gamepad. The old Event shortcut has moved from I to U.

Workshop Sort, Search, Tag

(Thanks to Gamergod1303) You can now sort the workshop by Hot, Installed, or Liked, and search uploads by author. You can select tags when uploading, and filter by tags when browsing.

Dynamic Trade Prices

(Thanks to Cody) Cargo export and import prices are now adjusted dynamically based on global trade activity across the server, balancing popular routes and reviving underused cargo. The delivery menu shows the applied multiplier (e.g. x1.23) with a color hint for each cargo.

Volumetric Clouds & Weather

The sky now uses volumetric clouds for more realistic weather, with dynamic cloud transitions in the rain. You can turn Volumetric Clouds on or off in the graphics settings; the option follows your Quality Level, and they are disabled automatically on Intel integrated graphics.

Dynamic World

The world now changes over time. A new Cargo Yard appears with stacked cargo, some residential buildings change their appearance, and passengers now follow a day-of-week schedule.

New Factories & Shops

New destinations open up across the map: the Biyang Electronic Factory, a Freshwater Fish Market in Gwangjin, a Seafood Restaurant in Ara, and a Building Materials vendor at the Gangjung Hardware Store. The Biyang Electronic Factory turns Copper Rod Coils and Plastic Pallets into Circuit Board Pallets, which the Transformer Factory 50MVA and the Terra Factory now need on top of their existing materials.

Dasa Harbor Roundabout

A new roundabout now handles the traffic near Dasa Harbor.

Loading Screen Tips

Loading screen tips are now displayed. Share your tip ideas with us on Discord!

Vehicle Spawn Menu Status Icons

(Thanks to Michael397) Owned vehicle entries in the company spawn menu and the parking summon list now show the same damage icons used in the driving HUD. A low-fuel icon also appears when the vehicle has less than 15% fuel.

Company Route Search and Sort

You can now search truck routes, bus routes, and depots by text in the Company menu. Truck and bus route lists also have sort buttons for route name and assigned vehicle count.

Mod Management

When you have modded Pak files, a warning popup now appears and lets you choose not to load them. A new Mod List screen shows every loaded mod pak and lets you enable or disable each one individually; changes take effect after restarting the game. Mods are also automatically disabled if the last startup crashed.

In-Game Server Settings

Admins can now change server options from the in-game admin menu without restarting the server. This includes rain, fire, NPC traffic/police/speeder density, the player limit, and the session password.

Pause Empty Dedicated Server

(Thanks to briggers) Dedicated servers now have an opt-in option to pause the simulation while no players are connected — set bPauseSimulationWhileNoPlayers to true in the server config (defaults to false; see the dedicated server ReadMe and DedicatedServerConfig_Sample.json). While paused, the in-game clock and the whole world stop advancing — so town stats, production, and house rent timers no longer drift on an empty server — and CPU usage drops. The server resumes automatically the moment a player joins, and the Web API keeps responding the whole time.
