Vehicle Update Release
After the poll we hosted in November to choose the upcoming updates, we've completed most anticipated update of the three. We're excited to announce the release of our all-new custom vehicle system. From fuel to upgrading your cars, there's plenty of new content to explore if you own a vehicle in-game, or you're looking to get one from the Mechanic NPC.
Upgrade System
Fuel Upgrade
The only attribute fuel tanks offer is Tank Capacity, it'll display the exact capacity you'll receive upon upgrading, e.g. 75L. Tried of refuelling your car all of the time? Grab this upgrade!
Engine Upgrade
On an engine upgrade, you'll notice 3-4 attributes which each change the way you drive.
- Accelerator Chance - Every 10 seconds, a Random Number Generator decides if you can accelerate; the higher the chance, the more often you'll be able to accelerate.
- Fuel Usage - As you can imagine, fuel usage indicates how much fuel you use when the vehicle is moving. A negative fuel usage (e.g. -10%) means you'll use more fuel, whereas a positive one (e.g. +10%) means you'll use less fuel.
- Reverse Speed - This increases the speed at which you can reverse your vehicle.
- Max Speed - This increases the overall speed at which you can drive your vehicle.
Brake Upgrade
On a brake upgrade, you'll find 3 attributes which change the way your car brakes.
- Brake Friction - This increases the speed at which your car brakes, as a stock brake will take a second to come to a full stop with your SPACE key.
- Friction - Friction will increase how quickly your car can take off.
- Turn Speed - This will increase the speed at which you turn with A and D keys.
Mechanic Rework
For quite a while, the Mechanic's Vehicle prices have been quite high. To help make vehicles more accessible, we've lowered the prices of all publicly sold vehicles which means you'll be able to buy a car for as little as ¥750,000 compared to the millions of yen before. We've also lowered the cost of bicycles, meaning if you can't afford a car just yet, you can always get a bicycle.
We've also added Toyota Prius and Honda N-Box to the Mechanic NPC, both of which are sold cheaper than sports vehicles previously available.
Refuelling
We've added Fuel to our vehicles. Whilst this does sound fairly worrying for some of you, the stock fuel tank (50L) will allow you to drive around the make approximately 34 times before you run out of fuel. In addition to this, you can choose to upgrade to an Economy Engine which will decrease fuel consumption along with a bigger fuel tank of up to 100L.
Fuel prices fluctuate, however they are typically between ¥75 and ¥120 per 5L of fuel, so a full tank would cost a maximum of ¥1,200.
