Tire status and truck/vehicle upkeep
I see that I can click on the hood of my vehicle and see the fuel and engine status, and seems I can add gas cans for future fuel and not sure what the tool boxes do (green, blue, purple), or guess they either have the engine last longer or if the engine break or gets to low maybe have option to repair with the current tool box, not sure with that. But it would be nice to see the tire status there and maybe be able to buy a spare or two to put in a slot just like the gas and tool box engine repair.

I do apologize for posting so much, just giving my thoughts, not trying to be a pest.

Yes, you can put gasoline in the gas tank slot - it often helps when you forgot to fill up in advance, and it's already night and all the gas stations are not working. =) Suitcases with tools are repair kits for the engine - if the engine is not repaired, then the consumption of gasoline increases, and it also starts worse. We will start working on tires and their mechanics this week, after tomorrow's first update. Regarding frequent posts - do not worry, everything is fine. Right now, at the very beginning of the release of the game on PC, the feedback from people who have not yet played our game before is very important to us. Thank you for writing about your wishes and problems - it only helps us. =)

Engine Tools: I put the engine tool box in the slot where the engine damage meter is, same area as the Fuel gas cans are located under the hood. Now am I suppose to be able to click something that consumes the engine tool box (1,2,3) to repair it or does it do something else. I have no button to consume it kind of like the gas cans where it will say FILL and it adds fuel back into the tank. I never have the option to actually use the tool repair box. Just need more clarity on that feature.

Now it works like this - the cheapest toolbox fixes the car from 0 to 30 percent, and the most expensive one up to 90 percent. If engine damage has not reached this mark, the button will not appear. This system will most likely be reworked in a big update with cars and we will be clear on how to fix the engine. In any case, we recommend using a car service to restore the engine to good condition, and using repair kits only in case of a breakdown far from the city center. =)

Ok.. Now that makes a bit more sense. I always at the end of my work day, I would go get my vehicle serviced to full repairs.. so that explains why I never saw a repair button with the tool box 1, I never bought the 2,3 tool repair box
