Coming Next: Manual Trailer Interaction & More

The next Rest Anywhere update is already taking shape, and it’s going to bring quite a few new features and changes.

One of the biggest additions will be more manual interaction around the trailer.

Instead of simply coupling or uncoupling everything with a single action, you’ll be able to perform separate steps yourself — including connecting and disconnecting the trailer cables, as well as raising and lowering the trailer landing gear.

And that’s still not everything.

The refueling system is also being reworked, along with the way coffee is purchased. From now on, buying coffee will have an actual in-game cost, rather than simply being a free interaction.

I’m also working on improved getting-in and getting-out animations, making the transition between walking mode and the cab feel much more natural.

Of course, the update will also include another round of bug fixes and compatibility improvements. A huge part of that is only possible thanks to the reports I keep receiving from active players.

So once again — thank you. Your logs, feedback and detailed reports genuinely help me track down things I simply wouldn’t be able to reproduce on my own, and that’s what allows Rest Anywhere to keep getting better.

There’s also an important change coming to the way the plugin is rendered.

Both the HUD and the plugin animations will now be visible in screenshots and video recordings, which should make things much easier for anyone creating content or simply wanting to capture what’s happening in-game.

There’s still more being worked on, but the direction is clear — more interaction, more immersion, and more reasons to actually get out of the cab.
