0.57, 2018 01 10 ("Gamepad Update" - Part 2 / "Wildlife Update")

Hi guys! In this update we took additional takes on the Controller as well as introducing Wildlife. Here is the changelog:

"Gamepad Update" - Part 2

- When driving with controller, LS forward/backward has no effect anymore
- Fixed walk vs. sprint on pad
- Fixed throttle/brake/reverse on pad, RT/LT is working fully analog now
- Introduced button icons for controller prompts
- Different map controls for controller, not emulating mouse any more. Quest mode and map mode are introduced instead, switchable with [Y] and [X]
In map mode, map objects are filtered and LS jumps directly between them
- Controller mode in map: Use LS/RS to remove/add a custom waypoint

NOTE: An additional update will be coming removing replacing mouse emulation in all menues and - if needed - further adjustments.

"Wildlife Update"

- Introducing player vehicle - old truck to roam around
- Introducing small chainsaw to cut away bushes and smaller trees
Chainsaw will NOT cut regular nor huge trees, only smaller ones
- Added ability to light a campfire in fireplaces
Campfire will die if player is away or if it rains, or after a longer time, it does not burn eternally
- New item added - Can of beer (probably non-alcoholic) :)
Animations of sitting down with 3rd person camera and enjoying will come in a later update too
- Added eagles, soaring in the sky
- Added storks, standing idle and looking for whatever they find tasty, but flying away as soon as player approaches
- Added deer and boars. These tend to stick into trees and forest areas, but can wander freely (and run away from player)

NOTE: Picking wild mushrooms and berries had to be moved to a later update, although they're already placed in the world.

Additional

- Much increased manure production by cows
- Different icons for different vehicle classes on the map
- A number of level objects improvements and bugfixes
- Small fix for English Voice Overs
- New set of German Voice Overs

Much love,
