First Month Update Roundup - SweptThrone - 31-May-2026

This thread is a collection of all updates made during the month of May 2026.  I originally was not going to publicly document ST Servers updates if there were no players to experience the changes the updates brought, but I ended up reconsidering. 

May 2
Car parts are now worth a fraction of the car they got chopped from.
  • In the past, each part from a car would be worth a constant amount of money, with the most expensive item being a mere $80.  This was done to prevent being able to buy a $300 car and scrap it for thousands of dollars in profit.  In practice, this would result in chopping cars being a completely worthless method to make money.  This update makes every part from a car worth a fraction of the car's value, with a theoretical maximum of 7% profit.  This is not something worth "grinding" for, as there is a slim chance of this happening.

May 17
Dramatically reduced the profitability of Hacker Computers.
  • In my brief testing, I was able to turn $800 into over $35'000 in about ten minutes of hacking files.  The raw value of each file has been reduced by 90%, the value per megabyte of a file has been reduced by 60%, and networking speed has been reduced by 80%.  Hacking files remains a viable way to make money, but as one of the least risky ways of doing so, it has been toned down.
Gave the Hot Dog Cart a fixed physics model.
  • Previously, the wheels of the Hot Dog Cart had no collision, causing the whole cart to sink into the ground and sit at a slant.  This has been fixed via a new physics model for the cart.

May 20
Reduced the speed of Crypto Miners mining.
  • Just like the Hacker Computer, I was able to turn $2'400 into over $14'000 in a matter of minutes.  Granted, the value of one SToken is very high at the time of this update, but it still needed to be toned down a bit.  Crypto Miners now mine 90% less SToken every second.

May 21
Added Neon Signs available for general purchase.
  • In the absence of any way to advertise businesses or other ventures, I have created and added two styles of Neon Sign available for general purchase.  All players can now purchase up to four of each Neon Sign, a floor version and a wall version.  Each sign costs $40 and can be edited using the context menu's "Edit properties" menu.

May 25
Money Safes, Weapon Lockers, and Law Boards are no longer removed when their owners disconnect.
  • This will allow players to potentially stumble across some forgotten money or weapons, which would be pretty cool.

May 28
Added the Carson Dust Storm available for Mechanic purchase.
  • The Dust Storm is a new A-class dune buggy that costs $3,500.

May 29
Money Printers can now be purchased even when there are no other players online.
  • This was a leftover feature from STRP, where there were next to no ways to make money.  Since there are so many ways to make money on The Big Apple, this was a silly limitation to keep in place.

May 30
ATM deposit and withdrawal prompts now display how much money you have in your wallet.

May 31
Added STPottery entities available for Supplier purchase.  Pottery can be sold to The Contact.

Countless other bugs were fixed throughout the month, mainly related to selling products.  Since these typically only required changing a single number, they were not dated, and are instead all listed below:
  • STOilMogul:  Fixed Oil Drills not spawning properly due to outdated STSettings.
  • STOilMogul:  Fixed Oil Drums not being able to be sold due to a missing multiplier table.
  • STCoffeeShop Neu:  Fixed Coffee not doing anything due to trying to give the coffee cup energy.
  • STGunrunning:  Fixed guns not being able to be sold due to outdated STSettings.
  • STGunrunning:  Fixed the Ammo Crafting Table being a Gun Crafting Table due to a typo.
  • STBankRobbery:  Fixed Bank Vaults not having the correct amounts of money due to typos.
  • Money Safe:  Fixed Money Safes not working due to missing files.
  • The Contact:  Fixed cancelling a sale not allowing you to start a sale afterwards due to flawed logic.
  • GTA V-ish HUD:  The ammo bar is now hidden for weapons that have their own:  Coffee, Tools, Spray Paint.
