Update News: New content, vehicles, improvements, and bug fixes

This update includes new vehicles, more new features and minor fixes, as well as balancing and optimizations.

Mobile Apps

Our mobile apps for Android and iOS are now officially available in their respective stores. Over the next few weeks, we'll make further improvements with additional updates. Feel free to send us your feedback via Support.

Go to Google Play Store | Go to App Store

Fire Spread

Fires now spread dynamically. The rate of spread depends on the size and difficulty of each incident. The sooner you arrive at the scene, the sooner you'll get the fire under control. With this system, we want to add more tension and depth to incidents and challenge you a little more.

Fire Engine Crane

The fire service crane complements the crane on the equipment truck and is needed for major recovery operations. At the same time, it works just like the crane on the equipment truck.

If the fire service crane is specifically requested, you’ll also need an AB crane accessories container (starting with the next update) or a GW crane accessories truck at the scene so the crane can work.

Other Improvements

• There’s now a sleep mode. If you’re inactive in the game for 30 minutes (no interactions), you’ll be kicked from the game. This feature is optional and can be enabled in the settings. So you’ll no longer go bankrupt if you fall asleep with the game open

• The financial overview now shows a more detailed breakdown of your income (patients/mission rewards)

• Staff can now be transferred between stations

• When dispatching, you can now see the vehicles’ travel times, making it easier to decide which vehicles to send

• With an ELW at the scene, you’ll receive useful information about a fire

• We’ve added over 200 new missions

Optimizations

• You can now search for modules in the dispatch window's search. This means you'll only see vehicles equipped with those modules.

• The mobile design has been improved in several places

• The calculation of which hospital a vehicle goes to is now based on the actual route rather than a straight line. There's also now a slightly higher chance that your hospitals will be chosen preferentially.

• Graphic settings for buildings and vehicles are now grouped by country

• The button for closing radio messages is now bigger

• Incident generation has been improved. The system now checks more accurately how many incidents you have before generating new ones.

• Incidents are now highlighted in red or orange on the map, depending on whether they are EMS or fire service incidents

• The incident details view has been visually updated

Balancing

• Building a workshop now takes 6 hours instead of 3

• Building a staff extension now takes 7 hours instead of 2

• The DLK now has only 3 module slots instead of 4

• The DLK can no longer be equipped with the environmental protection module

• The ELW and MTW can now be equipped with the First Responder module

• The LF no longer has the hose module 2000

• Used cars in the shop can now have a maximum of 90,000 km

• Hospitals now cost 25,000 to purchase. This prevents users from selling hospitals again before the daily deduction.

• We have test-wise removed the keywords so that the callers' texts come back into focus

Bug fixes

• Fixed minor display errors

• The radio sound is now muted when you use the game's “Mute” button

• The routing system has been revised, so there should no longer be any errors

• On Android, some windows were closing twice. This no longer happens

Have fun with this update
