fixedUPDATE #21 is now available!This update added a new mechanic - digging sand with a shovel. Sand piles are now generated in the world, which can be dug up to find loot. Perhaps the same madman who painted all the wheel rims buried the items. The sleep mechanics were completely rewritten - I got rid of the extra window (the window with the time selection), you can now "wake up" the character at any time by pressing [SPACE]. Also fixed a bug when the character needed only 1 hour to get enough sleep. Now it takes 8 hours to completely fill the sleep bar. Initially, barrels were added to the game so that you don't have to carry a bunch of canisters, but carry one or two barrels. But for some reason, everyone started carrying 10 barrels, somehow fitting them into the trunk. This was not intended, so the spawn of barrels was reduced. The amount of fluids generated inside them has also been reduced. I get a lot of messages about the impossibility of adding fluids to the engine/radiator. To do this, you just need to open the lid. I had to add a corresponding notification to avoid confusion. The changelog includes fixes from the hotfix from February 14.
