Philosophy Behind the Mod: - The goal is to turn vehicle maintenance into a strategic, engaging part of gameplay. - Instead of simple repairs, you make meaningful decisions affecting your farm’s success. - Strategy over spam: plan your maintenance to balance costs and avoid breakdowns. - Real consequences: how you treat your equipment impacts its lifespan and reliability. - Brand choices matter: premium brands are more reliable but cost more to maintain, while cheaper brands are prone to minor issues but quick to fix. - Vehicle ownership becomes a management challenge. Key Features: - Complete overhaul of damage and wear system, based on Condition and Service parameters. - Dynamic breakdown system with multiple stages and progression. - Various malfunctions across systems: engine, transmission, brakes, hydraulics, electrical, cooling. - Advanced temperature simulation affecting engine and transmission, with overheating consequences. - New workshop maintenance system with inspection, maintenance, repair, and overhaul. - Malfunctions have tangible effects: power loss, increased fuel consumption, gear issues, lighting and hydraulic failures. - Brand and age-specific characteristics affecting reliability and behavior. - Improved UI and HUD for better vehicle status tracking. - Console commands for testing and debugging, including toggling debug mode, adding/removing breakdowns, and resetting vehicle states.
