Scrap, engine upgrades, Sticky Cargo and the horn

Quick answer

Recycle found equipment at Red’s Scrapyard for upgrade scrap. For uphill difficulty in Demo 2.0, MythicOwl recommended the engine first. Sticky Cargo requires activation; horn upgrade strength affects how quickly sheep move.

Retail skill installation: Patch 1.0.1 input fix

Steam Patch 1.0.1, announced October 10, fixes a double-input bug that limited skill installation and cargo rotation. The notes do not establish new upgrade prices, unlock conditions or cooldown values; the dated demo records below retain their original scope. Kingy has not tested installation in the retail build.

Turn found equipment into scrap

Community Update 12 shows a scrap machine and instructs players to park at the red spot to recycle their finds. The post does not establish the value of each object or whether all discarded equipment is collectible.

  1. Find recyclable equipment while exploring.
  2. Bring the load to Red’s Scrapyard.
  3. Use the marked red parking spot at the scrap machine.
  4. Check the displayed scrap reward in your build.

For difficult hills, the developer recommended the engine first

In a March 2 reply about Demo 2.0, MythicOwl recommended starting with the engine upgrade because it helps uphill driving. This is advice for that climbing problem, not a tested best purchase order for every delivery.

That March reply supplies no current price or tier values. The linked garage price guide separately records 13 coin offers from footage published September 3, with a calculator for the displayed prices. It does not establish performance gains or every unlock condition.

Starting condition: the truck is struggling uphill in Demo 2.0. The suggested action is an engine upgrade. A successful climb after that upgrade has not been inspected in a matched test, so no tier, purchase or route is presented as a guaranteed fix. For a hotel objective or an unresponsive garage exit, use the separate progression guide.

Money is a separate reward

The announcement distinguishes mission money from scrap earned through recycling. The garage footage shows coin prices, which are the only currency used by the linked budget planner. No scrap exchange rate, refund or unobserved upgrade price is assumed.

Sticky Cargo and Booster are active abilities

The February announcement says each skill has a cooldown. Demo 2.0’s release post confirms two new upgrades; the smaller August demo does not establish that every earlier upgrade is available there.

UpgradeDocumented useVersion limit
Sticky CargoActivate promptly to pull shifting cargo back.February Demo 2.0; no verified key, range or cooldown duration.
BoosterA burst of speed for evasion and jumps.February Demo 2.0; no verified price or acceleration value.

The horn upgrade changes sheep response

MythicOwl’s original demo reply places the horn upgrade at Theresa’s garage. In an August 31 reply, the developer says sheep reaction depends on the horn upgrade and a fully upgraded horn clears them almost immediately.

No exact range or timing is given. If a sheep blockage occurs before the horn upgrade in the original demo, the developer directs players to Rotti’s dialogue; an unconfirmed detour or guessed key binding is not a substitute for those instructions.

1.0.4 scrap prices and map icon

The update lowers the listed scrap costs and gives scrap fallen from your truck a distinct map icon. These are announced prices and UI changes; the older coin budget and demo upgrade advice remain separately scoped.

Camouflage and railway changes

Camouflage now accumulates half of each encounter spot’s demon chance and spawns the demon only once the counter exceeds 100%. The counter resets after a demon appears or when changing location. The developer’s guaranteed-encounter example gives two safe passes and a demon on the third; Kingy has not tested it.

Camouflage and Runes gain activity animations. Demon Train encounters are reworked to be easier to dodge or repel with the Howler; no exact safe timing or guaranteed escape is supplied. The 75hp/108hp engine models were corrected without a performance claim.
