Big one this time. Here is everything since 0.608: a car carrier truck, new jobs on the road, real weather, barns to break into, wide highways, a new intro and a lot for drift. PATCHNOTES SUMMARY:
STRAP DADDY, A CAR CARRIER TRUCK — A drivable car carrier with two decks. Lower the platforms, drive your cars up the ramps and they are strapped down by themselves. Where to find it? The hint is in our Discord update. Join here: https://discord.gg/3MTbbF82nD
HIGHWAY JOBS — Stranded drivers now wait along the road. Tow them to the next town for $250 per km, or fix their car on the spot for 3× the part price. Track your job in the JOBS app on your phone. Works in co-op.
RAIN — Weather is here. Every 1–4 days it rains for two hours: wet roads, puddles, tire spray and 10 % less grip under open sky. HARDCORE and FUN MODE.
BARN FINDS — Farm barns now open up. Smash the plank bar, slide the doors open, and every second barn hides a car in random condition, with crates along the back wall.
HIGHWAYS & SOFT RESET — Some stretches between towns are now six-lane highways with gentle curves. Want them in your old world? The new Soft Reset at your bed lays out a fresh road and keeps your towns.
A NEW INTRO — A new game now starts with an intro, and the story has new, fully voiced lines. A junkyard with a car transporter waits at km 3.
DRIFT MODE — Its own page in the main menu, one server list with car and box preview, buy cars at the registry, share your own cars per player, gates that open for cars, and Chompy's as a track part.
NEW CAR & MORE — The TOPLINE F34 sports sedan, a fully reworked MD Hauler tow truck, a folding rear seat, three new Sport Rim 7 wheels and a photo mode app.
New
Car carrier truck "Strap Daddy": V8 12.8 diesel with 550 hp, 8-speed gearbox, 7.5 t, 600 l tank, 100 km/h. Paid from your bank account.
Three platform positions: drive, lower deck down, upper deck down. Switch them on foot or from any seat, even while driving. Works in co-op.
Cars on both decks are strapped down by themselves and released when you lower a deck.
The truck is too big for lifts and cannot be registered. Its engine can be bought as a spare part and only fits the truck.
H-shifter: gears 7 and 8 can now be bound.
Highway jobs: repair jobs every 10–40 km (FUN MODE 5–15 km), one tow job per stretch between two towns. They start after your first morning delivery.
Tow jobs pay $250 per road km from pickup to the drop-off spot in front of the town workshop. The driver gets in and out of your car with an animation.
Repair jobs pay 3× the shop price of each part you replace. Check oil and fuel first, these cars arrive in bad shape.
JOBS app now also shows highway jobs: current job, target town, distance, pay and a cancel button. A cancelled job goes back to the driver, so you can take it again.
Missed a job? New ones roll in each time you come back to a stretch of road.
Earl's salvage jobs now pay $20,000 (was $10,000).
Rain: wet asphalt with reflections on HIGH and ULTRA, puddles, rain drops on the screen in car views, spray from every car above about 40 km/h, and a rain sound. Grip only drops where the sky is open.
Oil tracks: drive through an oil puddle and your tires leave a glossy track for 300 m. In the wet it turns into a rainbow.
Barns: every farm barn is hollow with sliding doors. The plank bar in front takes 180 damage and only breaks to weapons. Once broken, it stays broken.
Barn cars can be any car in the game, mod cars included. Every part from 0 to 100 %, the trunk filled like a found car.
Highways: 36 m wide, six lanes, double yellow line in the middle, flat with gentle curves. LOST WAGES to TOKWO and TIMES SCARE to HELL-EIN are always highway. The rest is rolled per world.
Soft Reset at the bed: a whole new road, towns stay where they are. All your registered cars go to the garage and can be recalled for free. Optionally restart the story in the same step. Host only, no guests online.
Your world now remembers its road layout. Future updates can change roads without breaking your save.
New car: TOPLINE F34, a rear-biased all-wheel-drive sedan, $54,000. Spoiler and lip from the tuning shop.
MD Hauler: working doors and lights, seats on the bed, and a wheel lift. One click on the hauler hooks up a car and tows it.
Folding rear seat: right-click your car, fold the rear seat, get +200 l trunk space. The rear seats are locked while folded.
Sport Rim 7 in Slim, Mid and Wide: three new rims with their own tire, as complete wheels in the shops and in tuning crates.
Phone app PHOTO MODE: free camera for everyone. Enter or pad A takes a photo, saved in your Pictures folder under LIMP MODE/screenshots. The home screen now has 3 columns and coloured tiles.
Travel guide: write your own notes in it (blue pen, each player and world has their own). The road map now spans four pages.
Drift Mode page: JOIN, HOST, BOX EDITOR, TRACK EDITOR and DRIFT TRAINING in one place. One server list for FUN and HARDCORE with a filter, then a car and a box preview before you join.
Drift: buy any car at the vehicle registry, paid from your mode's account. It lands in MY CARS.
Drift: every player now shares their own cars from the radial menu at the car, instead of one host setting.
Drift host, live: switch PUBLIC, car sharing and the track while the server runs (5 s countdown).
Drift: loading screen with the track name, both for host and joining players.
Track editor: Catch Fence Gate 4 m opens by itself for cars and closes behind them.
Track editor: Chompy's restaurant as a track part. Food bought there is eaten right away, with an eating animation in the car seat.
8 new Steam achievements for distance from your base, from 2,000 km to 100,000 km, plus Around the World at 40,075 km.
4 new Steam achievements for highway jobs.
Main menu: new DISCORD button.
Wade the car dealer now has a real voice: Jayson L. AKA Savage. His subtitles match the line he speaks.
Improved
FUN MODE: its own story start and 5 emergency resets per world.
Co-op far from the host: fuel pumps, crates, shops, doors, barn bars, checkpoints and buying from Wade now work even when you are far away from the host.
Co-op joining: the join no longer times out after a fixed 30 s. It waits as long as data keeps coming in, and gaps in the start package are caught right away.
Spark plugs, injectors and glow plugs: each new piece has its own hidden lifespan. Cylinders no longer all fail at the same time.
The chase camera moves further out for big vehicles.
V8 5.7 and V8 4.4: letting off the gas now sounds like the engine itself.
Fuel pumps fill faster with a higher mechanics skill, like canisters (up to about 6.7 l/s).
Car transporter: 30 cm wider deck and ramps, easier to drive onto.
Gauges: needles now turn past the end of the scale instead of stopping there.
Road stones: the hitbox is half as high, the look is the same. Only very low cars still hit the oil pan.
The game now uses a safer render mode on every graphics preset. This should stop rare crashes, for example when fetching a car in drift. The old mode is still there as the start option --render-thread separate.
Chompy's on the highway is take-away again. Eat right away only on drift tracks.
Mod rims now also show up in the base tuning shop and in the tuning shop of town 8.
Balance: money crates hold half the cash again.
Fixed
The game no longer fills your drive with giant log files. The log stops at 19 MB and repeated lines are cut. This was why the game sometimes would not start.
Windows Smart App Control no longer blocks the game after an update. The game file now stays the same between updates.
Cars on a lift no longer end up on their roof or next to the lift after loading a save.
Controller: pressing A in a radial or context menu no longer also clicks the next button.
Note
Co-op: everyone needs version 0.62. It does not mix with older versions.
Your current world keeps its roads. Highways come with a new world or with a Soft Reset at your bed.
