Hayosiko interior

The interior of the Hayosiko.

The 1980 Hayosiko Pace is a 4-door Japanese van which belongs to the player's uncle. It can be acquired by the player and used for various tasks, mainly commuting and transporting cargo.

Design[]

Modeled after a 2nd generation Toyota HiAce, the Hayosiko is a blue and weathered diesel-powered full-sized van, with rusting bodywork and very soft suspension, apparently resulting from years of wear.

In addition to a functional driver's cabin with working front doors on both sides and seating for two, the van features a large cargo compartment in the rear accessible through a rear hatchback door and a sliding door on the driver's side. The van's rear compartment makes it ideal for transporting car parts, large boxes, furniture or any other large shipments. These traits make the van a very cost-effective alternative to the Satsuma, and may even double as an improvised camper van when the movable sofa is fitted into the rear compartment of the van.

The Hayosiko belongs to Uncle Kesseli, who seemingly uses or used the van for contractual carpentry work at one point of its existence. For that reason, the van bears a caricature of a carpenter and the name and telephone number of that business (Kesselin Urakointi Ky, Peräjärvi, Puh. 08 561 18) on both sides of the van.

Acquisition[]

Hayosiko's Suspension

Hayosiko's undercarriage

Prior to the 09.05.2019 update, the Hayosiko would normally spawn beside the driveway of the player's home in Kesselinperä upon starting a new game, and until the introduction of the Jonnez ES, was the only permanent working mode of transport immediately available by the house (The Gifu truck before the 09.05.2019 update and Kekmet tractor could also be acquired early, but were located at the woodshed). The player's parents impart through their refrigerator note that the player can borrow Uncle Kesseli's van to run errands.

Following the 9 May 2019 update, the van can only be acquired by directly contacting Uncle Kesseli at his home, which neighbors the player's house. After a period of time following the installation of a specific Satsuma part (the driver seat, engine block or left trail arm), the van will begin to periodically spawn and despawn at Kesseli's house (visible from the living room or kitchen of the player's home). While the van is parked there, the player must knock on the door of Kesseli's house until he opens the door, speaks to the player, and lends the player the keys to the van. Once the van is loaned to the player, it will only be available temporarily. If the player leaves the van around Kesseli's house and goes to sleep or walks a considerable distance from the van, the van will disappear, presumably taken away by Kesseli. The items inside the van will be left on the ground where the van was. When the van disappears, it can be found behind a wall of trees west of the air field.

Later in the game, while casually sitting outside his house, Uncle Kesseli will indicate to the player in a conversation that his driver's license was revoked due to him speeding, losing his ability to drive the van and the truck. He does not indicate where the van is, but it can be found by a vacant store adjoining the Lindell inspection shop and taken as the player's permanent vehicle.

Starting[]

To start the van, click (don't hold) on the ignition and allow time for the glow plugs to heat up. While this is happening, a red "coil" light will light up on the dashboard. Wait for a few seconds, or until the light goes out, then hold the mouse button to crank the engine. This is not strictly necessary as the glow plugs will get heated by trying to start the engine. Cranking the ignition instead of waiting for the glow plugs is significantly faster than waiting (12 seconds while waiting, 5 seconds while turning the ignition immediately). Once the van has run a glow plug cycle, it will not have to run another one until the game is exited; the engine will always be "warm" and the engine can be cranked immediately without waiting. Make sure the handbrake is fully off before putting the van into the first gear to start driving.

Driving notes[]

  • It takes around 40 seconds for the van to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph).
  • Suski and Grandma will not enter the van.
  • The van will violently wobble when going over 110-140 km/h (if the van is carrying a heavy load, it will begin to shake at lower speeds), which may cause instability issues while driving.
  • The van is top heavy and will flip easily at sharp turns or bumps.
  • Due to its soft suspension, going off-road will cause it to bounce a lot, which may result in crashing and death.
  • In high-speed collisions, the front windshield of the van can shatter and detach. The broken windshield can be grabbed and tossed aside to clear the view and will be restored whenever the game is loaded. Because the windshield is a protective component of the van, driving without the windshield carries the risk of the player being hit by a stray bumblebee causing temporary blindness, though wearing the helmet will stop this, driving at speeds over 70 km/h without it or the windshield is ill-advised.
  • The van does not have ABS (anti-lock braking system), so heavy braking will cause the front wheels to lock and become temporarily unresponsive to steering input for a split second. Stop braking to allow the wheels to unlock in order to regain control over the steering again, and keep in mind to brake before corners, not during one.
  • The maximum legal speed for the van is 80km/h; this is indicated by the sticker on the back of the van. Passing a police checkpoint with a speed greater than that will cause you to be fined.
  • Wear your seatbelt; it can prevent you from dying after crashing into a tree, crashing into Pena or rolling over. The seatbelt is required to be worn on the highway to prevent getting fined.

Fueling[]

The Hayosiko's fuel hatch can be found on the right side of the van to the rear, which can be opened with LMB, revealing a cap that can be unscrewed with mouse scrolling.

Like other drivable diesel engine vehicles, the van accepts both diesel and fuel oil, but having a tank containing any quantity of fuel oil, even when mixed with diesel, will put the player at risk of being ticketed at a police checkpoint due to a violation of fuel tax laws. Since the 9 May 2019 update, returning the van to Uncle Kesseli while its tank contains fuel oil will also result in the uncle receiving a hefty fine, prompting him to sell the Gifu and permanently disabling player access to the truck.

Trivia[]

  • The name "Hayosiko" is a reference to a Finnish joke about fictional Japanese names, where there's a car mechanic named "Hajosiko Toyotasi" which translates to "did your Toyota break down?"
  • Hayosiko's plate is EOA-117, which is nearly the same as the plate on Erkki's HiAce from Metsolat. The same number plate was featured on the Ferndale.
  • The sofa fits nicely into the back of the van, meaning it is possible to keep it in there to have a camper van. It also doesn't block some other cargo from being placed inside.
  • After Uncle Kesseli loses his driver's license, the van will be teleported to the abandoned store in the same orientation and with the same fuel level as it was previously at.
  • The Hayosiko's sliding cargo door is located on the driver side rather than the passenger side, which is unusual. In most vans with single sliding doors, including the Toyota HiAce that the Hayosiko is based off of, the cargo door is on the passenger side so that it faces the curb when the vehicle is parked.
  • The van has already been driven for 200,000 km when the player gets to drive it for the first time.
