V0.3.0.0

## Changelog

*Released November 23, 2018*

* **NEW** Field grass seeds can be bought at the trader in the Albergtal map
* **NEW** The first upgrades from the Tombstone Engine, the successor of the C4 Engine, are implemented in the update. The new ring detail system optimizes the visibility tests immensely, for example, taking the load off the CPU as well as the video cards. In addition, all distant objects are faded in and out smoothly (with exception of the trees, we’ll have to tackle them in a future update).
* **NEW** The fading of the plants on the ground has been enhanced strongly: plants don’t just pop up any longer but are being faded in with a smooth transition. The computation for this runs in the background so that the feature also has a positive impact on the performance
* **NEW** The culling of the plants around the player has been enhanced by multicore support. This makes for a more stable framerate when the camera is being moved fast continuously
* **NEW** The pak. files have been replaced by .zip files, so mod creators can have easier access to all the assets
* **NEW** The source language files for German and English have been added to the import directory
* **NEW** Cruise control has been improved: the three speed stages can be set individually and are savegame compatible. “+” and “-” are freely allocable keys in the options menu. Braking deactivates cruise control, accelerating has no effect
* **NEW** The overall physics have been altered heavily for the grassland machines, in order to be able to bring them into the game. The vehicles can now consist of much more single rigid bodies
* **NEW** The new console command “debugJoints” displays the vehicles’ joints
* **NEW** Claas Liner 500 rake
* **NEW** Claas Volto 80 tedder
* **NEW** Claas Disco 2750 mowing unit
* **NEW** Swath drying through weather influence and machines, with parameters like surface and lower wetness
* **NEW** Swath is now being varied in height, depending on its volume
* **NEW** Fill tanks can now have multiple fill types. A baler can now collect straw from different crop varieties
* **NEW** Plants near vehicles can now be spread along Bézier curves
* **NEW** The console has been reworked - open/close: Shift+Esc; it’s half the window size by default now; log messages are being displayed; a bigger font can be set; Size and position of the messages can be freely selected; Ctrl+T: passive mode and transparent console background
* **NEW** There are new console commands:

- listPlayerAttributes shows the player’s current position

- listFruitAttributes shows all of the fruit parameters per quarter of a square meter

- listGroundAttributes shows all of the ground parameters per square meter

- listMachinesStates <vehicleID> shows the machine states like “raised” or “attached”

- Enter “list” and press Tab to list all of the related commands

* **NEW** 6DOF joints have about 40 new parameters
