Caravanners embraces a concept intertwined with nature. It features towns, small cities, long roads, and districts. It offers a variety of jobs and missions depending on the area. The world of Caravanners has a day-night cycle and different weather conditions.

Player mechanics?
To survive, you need to eat and drink.
You can earn money and buy food or head to the lake and catch your own fish. The choice is yours.
But remember: you'll need to build a fire to cook any fish you catch.
And if you relieve yourself in nature, you'll be fined. 💸
So make sure to either install a toilet in your camper or find a public restroom.
Plan wisely nature has its own rules.

Once you own a van, you can begin customizing it and design the camper of your dreams.
But turning that dream into reality takes money... and time.
It's a journey.
A sweet road to your dreams! 🚐✨

Vehicle Engine System
You can upgrade the engine in van vehicles. There are a total of 3 engine levels. As you upgrade, the vehicle's performance improves. Engine upgrades can be done inside the technical garage and require payment.
At high speeds, the engine can overheat, and your vehicle may experience heat-related issues. When this happens, you must wait briefly for the engine to cool down. As you upgrade the engine, the chance of overheating decreases due to improved cooling efficiency.
Fuel consumption also varies depending on the engine level.
Vehicle breakdown
A vehicle has an engine health. This can deteriorate depending on various factors. When the engine breaks down, you click on the engine to call for service. You then teleport to the mechanic. You can repair your vehicle at the service center.
With future updates, newer repair mechanics will be introduced. (Tire bursts and other breakdowns)
Fuel?
There are many gas stations on the map. These stations offer restrooms and some items for purchase.
You can drive to the station and fill up with gas. Manual refueling is not currently available. However, with the update, you'll be able to refuel yourself. Fuel consumption also varies depending on your engine level and speed.

Fishing and Swimmable Lakes
The map features numerous swimmable lakes located in various areas. You can fish in these lakes using a fishing rod. Fishing cannot be done while swimming. Currently, fishing is only available in lakes.
The reason for this is that the map includes hundreds of kilometers of ocean, and enabling fishing in such a vast area is technically challenging and not yet ready. We plan to enable sea fishing in future updates.
However, for now, the lakes are more than sufficient. There are plenty of large lakes with beautiful scenery, offering a great fishing experience.
Purchasable small storage units
You can purchase and use storage units as you wish. There are warehouses in many locations on the map. There's a plaque at the storage entrance where you can write your name. This way, when playing with friends, everyone can designate their own storage unit. Electricity is charged at storage units. When the electricity runs out, you'll need to purchase it again.
