Good day people!


We have not updated our version since the 1.5 patch in February; Many updates were done since, all of which we documented inside of our Discord server channel #saesdev-changelog, for anyone looking for changes between this patch and 1.5 you can find them there.


What was this patch about? It was mainly focused on a big trucking update from our coding department and some memes from our modding department. :wink: :wink:



Trucking Update :truck:


Back when Trucker v2 was introduced, it came with a good idea, that failed to realize due to various reasons and it never could be called a finished product or a worthy successor to Trucker v1. Its main issue was the removal of illegal loads & a broken payout system that did not reward players fairly. Which brings us to our first change to the trucking:




  • Revamped payout system :moneybag: The system will now take multiple factors when calculating the payout. One of them would be distance multiplied by a fixed multiplier value, as the base payout. If your start/end point has a difficulty bonus, that will also be included in the payout. After all these have been calculated, if you chose an illegal load, you will get a bonus on arrival to destination.




  • Difficulty bonus :money_with_wings: We had to encourage people to use some of our hard to reach locations, but most importantly, make the extra effort worth it. For that reason, depending on the location, it will have a difficulty bonus. Example is shown below. If your start & end point have a difficulty bonus, the higher from two will be picked when calculating the payout.




  • Illegal loads :no_entry_sign: They are back, but with a different implementation than seen in Trucker v1. In the old script you would have a special set of illegal loads and regular civilian loads, now you can pick every delivery to be illegal, by choosing to load extra 15%, which will give you certain amount of wanted level. They, naturally, offer another bonus to payout.




  • New load type: Crude Oil :oil_drum: For a reason! Truckers are now able to refill our refinery by delivering Crude Oil. Available above certain amount of deliveries, truckers will be responsible for keeping oil supply to our refinery, which in return, allows Fuel Truckers to supply San Andreas' gas stations with fuel.




  • More locations!

We have had a report with nightstick issue which could not be reproduced, therefore wasn't fixed, if you strongly believe there is an issue with it feel free to report with as many details possible.
