Full changelog below.

https://youtu.be/SWiXt3EB9Ks


Explore the world of Gold Rush and discover exciting stories behind the places you pass by in your pickup truck on a daily basis.


Speaking of the truck (and other vehicles), you can now paint it in fierce dragon scales. The cow skin for collecting all stories is also a moo-st have!


When traveling around the map in your new dragon's truck collecting stories, don't forget to unlock Fast Travel waypoints. They will help you get across your parcels in no time!


List of breakable parts keeps growing, but now the threat is even more real, as not paying loans might get you in real trouble! Manage your budget wisely, unless you want to see that new "Game Over" screen, which we have prepared.

• New Repairs (see the list of breakable parts below).
  
• New Vehicles skins: Cow (for collecting all Stories) and Dragon Scales (available for purchase in the Machines Store).
  
• Added collectible Stories.
  
• Added Fast Travel option - it is accessible from the Map. To unlock Fast Travel waypoints, you must first reach them by foot and purchase the possibility to use them.

• Redesigned Magnetite system.
  
• Redesigned loans system.
  
• Added possibility to lose the game, when debts are too high (100,000$ for Normal Mode, 25,000$ for Hard Mode).

Hello Prospectors!
Those of you who are beta testing the upcoming Update can also try out the Fast Travel option!

Features:

• Added Fast Travel option - it is accessible from the Map. To unlock Fast Travel waypoints, you must first reach them by foot and purchase the possibility to use them.

Known issue:

• When you open the Map and click on one of the Fast Travel icons, but instead of teleporting you decide to Restore one of your vehicles, you might be teleported to a Fast Travel location. Instead, you should close the map, open it again, and choose either the Fast Travel or the Restore option.

Try out Collectible Stories, New Skins, and New Repairs before the release.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1346397630

Travel around the map in search of amazing tales. With Collectible Stories you'll learn more about the world of Gold Rush: The Game. There's also a ridi-cow-lously nice reward for such effort.
More breakable parts = more challenges on your way to becoming the richest miner in Alaska. The threat is even more real, as from now on it is possible to see a "Game Over" screen, when you fail to pay your debts.
But that's not everything! See changelog below for more info.
