Hey, Junkers! 🛒🥤
It’s time for another big step forward! This week’s update introduces the brand-new Market system along with the long-awaited Stamina mechanics! 💪
From now on, you can visit the shop, stock up on food and drinks, and discover which items keep you energized the longest. 🍔 Every purchase matters — choose wisely and manage your stamina to stay productive in the yard! ⚙️
This is just the beginning of expanding survival-style elements in the game. We’ll keep improving and balancing the system based on your feedback, so don’t hesitate to share your thoughts! 💬
Of course, we’ve also fixed plenty of bugs you reported — thank you for helping us make the game better every week! 🛠️
Check out the full patch notes for all the details. 📋
Market & Food
Here you can stock up on the food you need to restore stamina.
Check which products will significantly regenerate your hunger.
You can get a discount by paying the exact amount – the cashier doesn’t like counting change! 😄
Hunger System
Keep an eye on your character’s stamina — a junkman can’t collapse from hunger!
You’ve got your portable fridge — make sure it’s always stocked and properly chilled! 😄
And if you happen to forget a meal, don’t worry! For a small fee (uhhh $1500!), the medical team will take care of you. Better avoid that expensive ride like the plague!

🚀 Market & Stamina Update – New Life for Your Junkyard!
Junkyard Roadmap
Yes, I know – you’ve asked me about this a million times 😅 and I always said I didn’t want to declare specific updates, since things on my end are pretty dynamic. But hey, to meet your expectations, I’ve finally prepared a safe update roadmap!
Just remember – besides what you see on the plan, there will also be hotfixes and smaller updates that I didn’t include here. I just wanted to give you a clear picture of what’s coming up next.
Of course, you know how it goes – sometimes a better idea pops up out of nowhere, or something urgent needs a quick fix. 😉
When the above roadmap is completed, a new one with fresh goals will follow. As I’ve mentioned many times before — we’ll be developing this game for years to come. Sure, there will be other projects along the way, but Junkyard is very close to my heart, and I’ll do everything I can to keep delivering new content long after version 1.0 and the full release. And yes, everything will be free for the base game — no paid DLCs, only free content updates.
Hotfix list 👇
🛠️Traffic jam and issue at the gas station – multiple vehicles can pile up, blocking the left turn and eventually the entire road after some time.
🛠️Fixed a blocker issue with the task requiring the hammer to break the van’s door
🛠️Fixed keybinding reset bug where some players couldn’t return controls to default
🛠️Fixed a bug causing the screen to freeze when exiting Fast Travel and immediately pressing M to open the Big Map

🛠️Implemented the Portable Fridge – bought products are stored here so players don’t need to eat them immediately
🛠️Added a Shopping Basket mechanic to collect multiple products inside the store
