Dear Junkers! 🔧😄This update brings a major overhaul to one of the core gameplay systems in Junkyard Simulator vehicle restoration.Based on player feedback and our own observations, we decided to completely rethink how vehicle restoration works. The previous system relied on temporary visual hints and invisible restoration spheres that did not always accurately represent the actual condition of the vehicle's bodywork. This could make the restoration process feel confusing, inconsistent, and sometimes frustrating.With this update, we are bringing vehicle restoration much closer to the newer restoration system already used for other items in the game. The goal is to make restoration more intuitive, visually understandable, and satisfying, while also giving players more control over how much assistance they want during the process.Alongside the restoration overhaul, this update also includes a large number of bug fixes, UI improvements, quality-of-life changes, and gameplay adjustments. ⚙️ VEHICLE RESTORATION OVERHAULCompletely redesigned the uncomfortable temporary hint system that displayed spheres representing the areas that needed to be completed to finish a particular restora
