Gold ore has been added to the Metal Ore Sorter as an output.
metal ore sorter outputNew Flexible Conveyors have been added, offering more freedom when connecting production equipment, especially when input and output points do not line up. They have a maximum length of 6 meters and are intended for shorter connections. They can be connected starting from either an input or an output side and can be painted. Flexible Conveyors can be purchased from the store under Factory → Conveyors. If production equipment connected by a Flexible Conveyor is removed, the conveyor must be removed and replaced. Production elements cannot be snapped to an already placed Flexible Conveyor.

A new Auto Level system has been added, utilizing the Auto Level GPS for Dozers, Loaders, and Graders. It helps keep the blade or bucket at a selected working height. It is currently available only for loaders, dozers, and graders, but not for the DX100A Dozer and L8000/L10000 loaders. The Auto Level GPS can be purchased from the store under Equipment → GPS. A target height can be set manually in the Vehicle Inventory, and the Height Offset allows for smaller adjustments (15 cm steps). The 'On Target' indicator turns green when the target height is reached. 'Auto Mode' causes the blade/bucket to automatically follow the selected working height. Auto Level disengages if the blade or bucket is manually lifted or under heavy load. The current height is displayed once activated or 'Set Height' is used.
