I only got 45 minutes at it, but frustrating would be the word. :)

But it is early access and needs a lot of polish. And possibly some documentation. The fucking flies/mozzies buzzing around drive you nuts after a while.

Since it's early access, we can get a full refund anytime up until release + 1 week. I'll give it a try, too :)


Edit: well, I didn't last long. I may re-visit it at a later point, but tedious is the right word for this. And motion sickness, sadly.
Also, it's not for the faint hearted; working out the simple task of sitting in the van and starting it up took quite a few minutes...I did not even start working on the car.

I'm still on the fence about this game, I've almost wrapped my head around the controls as I spent a good two hours trying to figure out how to deliver wood with a tractor, in the end I died in a horrific car crash in a stolen muscle car full of beer bottles.
Seems pretty good so far.

I've got a refund, it's too much of a time waster to be honest.
ah by the way I've just realised I've mis-understood the Steam refund policy; its time limit on pre-purchases is what I thought it was on early access. No, early access is the same as any other; 2wks or 2hrs. (realised it with another title)


To start the van: crouch & climb/jump in (hit C twice for total crouch).
Hit enter when you see "enter driving mode" (once you're in the cockpit you'll see this)
Then lean left (Q) to see the ignition button under the steering wheel. You'll need to work it for a while, it does not start easily.
When started, handbrake needs to be released on the right.
Then G/B for gear up/down, hit throttle and if you did everything right, it'll start going.

But as to how to put the car together...only god knows.

One more funny; saving is done in the loo. Hehe.

I quite like the funny aspects of the game but it's just too much for me overall.

I'll go back to play automation - their light campaign is in open beta ;)

It took me four hours but I managed to put the car together, cranked it over and realized as I hit the starter that the engine had no oil in it.
Wheeze, pop, bang and I've just cooked the engine.
Hook it to the van and tow the heap of crap to the mechanics, get there at 2am on a Sunday and realize the place won't be open today so I went for a walk around the area, looking at buildings and forgot about the septic tank that I'd been paid to empty the previous day.
So I found out that you can drown in a septic tank.

First Patch has dropped for MSC.
28.8mb
-Made fluid UI's show the full state for one second
-Fixed Tractor jerky parking brake
-Added 'Dirtiness' meter to show when you should go to Sauna to get rid of the FLIES

(turns out mosquito spray gets rid of the mozzies and the sauna gets rid of the flies)

-Fixed leaking Oil drain plug issue after engine repair job at Fleetari repair shop
-Fixed exploit where Logs could be split by hands
-Possible fix for vehicle collision issues, but can't be confirmed as I can't reproduce the original issue
-Added driving lights to Tractor
-Added towing hooks to Truck
-Removed console commands as those are not meant to be used by players and can cause serious issues
-"Song import" is disabled by default
