    To clear up some things: The next update will be halloween themed and will not include the Autobello or Italy, as they are not ready yet.

    Finally.

    Good to hear that autobello bit, because we troglodytes didn't really have any scale to how finished it is.

    Told ya. March 2019.

    But wait: a Halloween-themed update has to include some kind of content, and they wouldn't just give us a "Hey, here's a jbeamed pumpkin and a bunch of small bug fixes! Happy Halloween, fuckers!" so there's gotta be something big they're not telling us about... @¿Carbohydration?, do your stuff!

    I'll give it a shot:

    Halloween is also called All Hallow's Eve.
    "Hallow" rhymes with "hollow."
    Engines are hollowed-out blocks of metal.
    "Eve" means "evening."
    The update will be released in the evening and will have new models for all the engines.

    Hmm, tdev posting here, could it be that update is not coming 26.10. as I was quite certain it would, or maybe he is giving us time to hype whole week, maybe not, then it would mean today is update day, but it would be week early for Halloween.

    Of course there is possibility of hotfix needs and update week before Halloween would allow time to fix if something is horribly broken, so that during Halloween things would work.

    Puzzling, but I guess we know it in few hours, or then they update at caturday or some other day, just to distract us :D

    Anyway, update is imminent within 180 hours, that much is quite certain :p

    @tdev said a few pages back that Italy will not be included in the next update due to performance reasons. If the next update is halloween themed, then that means Italy has a chance to be included in the update that follows. We may be getting Italy sooner than we thought.

    That is the post I was referencing, but I am not sure if they are counting the Halloween Update in that schedule.

    Fine.
    Halloween Themed
    Themed.
    Theme Park.
    Halloween is listed as the 4th largest holiday in the US by number of people celebrating it.
    The 4th most visited Theme Park in the US is Disney's Animal Kingdom
    Disney's animal kingdom houses an estimated 1700 animals.
    The parks size is 580 acres of land.
    That's an average of 2.93 animals per acre, if spread out.
    The park is heavily themed like a safari.
    BeamNG has a Safari Bus.
    Safaris usually include African wildlife.
    Africa has lots of jungles.
    Jungle Rock Island has lots of jungles.
    Jungle Rock Island is said to take place in Hawaii
    Animals
    Pigeons are birds.
    Birds are animals.
    Ibishu Pigeons are animals.
    Jungle Rock Island has a map size of 4 square KM.
    2.93 Ibishu Pigeons/acre for 4 KM is...2896 Pigeons in JRI.
    2896 Pigeons in JRI, in Hawaii.
    Assuming the Pigeon is a close alternative to the Daihatsu Midget.
    The Diahatsu Midget 1st gen is very similar to Bernd's "60s Pigeon"
    "60s Pigeon" has been downloaded 1741 times (at the time of me writing this).
    1741 is 60.1 percent of 2896.
    Those 2896 pigeons are in Hawaii.
    Hawaii takes up 28311 Square KM.
    60.1 percent of 28311 is 17014 sq KM.
    A land mass of that scale has a landmass about the same as Swaziland.
    Swaziland is an African Country.
    Swaziland has a GDP per capita of about 3222 USD.
    The Base model pigeon costs 1000 Beambucks.
    Lets assume this is in USD.
    Lets go back to 2.93 pigeons per acre.
    Swaziland contains 4,290,560 acres of land.
    Swazilands population is 1.367 million.
    At 2.93 pigeons an acre, the Pigeon population would be 12.57 million.
    At 1000 dollars per pigeon, that would equal 12.57 billion dollars, which is 2.86 times bigger then Swazilands 4.4 billion.
    12.47 billion x 2.86 is 35.95 billion.
    That is a similar GDP to Bolivia.
    Bolivia was once featured on Top Gear.
    The new Top Gear started in 2002.
    That's one year after Windows XP.
    Windows XP + 1
    The one after XP was Vista.
    Vista is listed by Merriam Webster as one of the definitions being "an extensive mental view "
    These crackpot theories could be listed as "an extensive mental view"
    I have done 3 and one mini crackpot theories so far.
    In the last one i made reference to Wikipedia.
    Wikipedia came out in 2001, the same year Windows XP came out.
    This is one year before Top Gear, or "-1"
    2001 - 1 is 2000.
    2000 was a new millenium
    Wikipedia's Co-founder Jimmy Wales was 33 at the time.
    Jimmy Wales
    Jimmy Whales
    Whales are a large marine mammal.
    Jimmy
    Jimmy Johns (Restaurant) is 35 years old.
    At the millennium, it was 17.
    17 -2 (The difference between Jimmy Wales age at the millennium and Jimmy Johns age now) = 15
    15 Whales.
    The Minke whale is the most common of whales. (500,000 estimated population)
    500000 x 15 = 7.5 million.
    Whales live in water.
    7.5 million gallons of water takes 28400 cubic meters of water.
    28400 cubic meters in a cubic formation would make a cube 30 meters across.


    Therefore, we can definitively prove, there will be a 30 meter cube of water in the next coming update.

    Would be nice if they do an Italy teaser for this year’s Halloween update like they did with WCUSA for last year’s Halloween update.
