Update Log 01/12/2021


First, of all, this is going to be a pretty long post as it contains both the Christmas stuff and the Community Spotlight for the month of November, so we suggest you get a cup of joes before reading this.

Christmas
This year we've decided to do Christmas a bit differently. In past years we've only had Christmas clothing, snow, presents and a doll. By suggestion from our lovely developer @Samuel, we've decided to put massive efforts into Christmas this year, which includes a completely new way of getting Christmas clothing, snowballs, candy, and the biggest thing yet! A proper Christmas calendar with updates, and/or events every day from 1st of December to the 25th of December. This post will be updated every day with the new changes that we release during the month of December, so keep an eye open!

2021 Christmas Present
Later this month you will be able to collect the yearly Christmas present in the park, at the NPC sitting down on a bench next to the red mini cooper with a Santa hat on it. And as usual, you can only get one present, and it's not an item you can drop or store in your storage or trunk. The date will be announced via the above calendar image.

Gingerbread
Gingerbread will be the currency this Christmas, very much like Candy was the currency during Halloween. You can only get gingerbread from an NPC located in the Market outside City Hall. In exchange for gingerbread, you'll have to give him Christmas Trees. The NPC will not accept the small Christmas Trees that are grown in drug pots, he expects proper size Christmas Trees that can only be grown in dirt, seeds for this can be bought from the same NPC.

Christmas Clothing
During previous years you've been able to buy Christmas Clothing from Jennifer's for $1. This year we wanted to change things up and decided to do like we do during Halloween, that you have to buy clothing via another currency, and that being gingerbread. An NPC is located in Bazaar shop number 3, when talking to him you can purchase Santa hats and sweaters. It's important to note that you can not buy several clothing items, and then go back to put them on as we do during Halloween, this NPC works like the Jennifer's one.

Mystery Box
The NPC in Bazaar will on some days sell a Mystery Box, this box can be opened on the 25th of December and will give you one or several random items, which can be anything from a bunch of metal to the rarest item. This box can be dropped, so it's a perfect gift to give to someone! The dates when this can be bought will be announced in the calendar, so keep an eye open!

Discord Giveaways
We will be conducting several giveaways during December, and these will be conducted on Discord, so make sure you join and connect your steam account to participate!

Christmas Tree Competition
The person at the end of December that has the most Christmas Trees (big ones, and now also the small ones) will win something big. So keep an eye open on the forums for when it's time to put your name down when we are ready to start counting!

Christmas Ringtone
To add to the Christmas spirit, Fredy Nexus (the smartphone) has come out with an update that changes your ringtone to a Christmas tune. The silent mode still works though.

Snow
@Lelios has worked on some new snow textures that look amazing. Normally we don't have proper snow on the roads, but with @Lelios new materials, roads will have snow that actually looks realistic.

Christmas Tree Competition
The Christmas Tree Competition is soon over! I've decided to change the competition a little bit after looking at the total amount grown and after considering that it might not be the best thing to have it end on the 31st as certain people might spend more time on the server during Christmas than they really want just to try to win. So the competition will end on the 23rd of December. I would also like to add that I am planning to give out smaller prizes for some of the other participants too. So even if you don't think you'll win, sign up!

Anyone that wants to join the competition will have to fill out the below form before the 23rd of December. Before you fill it out, make sure you read the below points.
  • Only trees in your own storage will be counted. Any trees in organization storage, trunks, or chests will be ignored.
  • Signing up for the competition as a team is not possible, if you wish to team up then you'll have to split the prize after the competition

Christmas - Day 21
There are no new items today, but we are running two amazing events! Battle Royale, which is a player favorite after gun game. And a Christmas Market event! Make sure you keep an eye on our discord for the exact times!

On top of the above, we are releasing some minor changes,
  • The Medic Toyota now uses the medic lightbar
  • Fixed various issues with melee weapons
  • You can now block numbers on your phone which will stop incoming calls and text messages
    • You can toggle the block status of numbers via the recent calls list and from a specific message

Christmas - Day 22
The new item tomorrow is a STORAGE RACK! Which is just absolutely amazing and is a great addition to the server! On top of that, we are running a Snowman Giveaway tomorrow. So keep an eye on the discord!

Late addition, as the end of December, is approaching the following Christmas Tree changes has been done,
  • The price of seeds has gone up as the competition is ending
  • You can now sell seeds that you no longer need or want, which is a nicer option than just letting them sit in storage
  • The growing time for Christmas Trees has been adjusted
On top of that, all Christmas clothing is now free! So pick some up at the NPC in Bazaar.

@Edisom @Double J @northnortheast @Clarky @Ollie


As the competition is over, we have decided to restore the Christmas Tree "economy" and will decrease the amount of Christmas Trees in existence. But this will really only affect people with a lot of them. I would also like to announce that you can sell your Christmas Tree seeds at the NPC outside City Hall!

Christmas - Day 23
