Wayfarer no awd and diff lock, no problem gonna add that real quick. Asphalt layer keeps getting stuck. I present you the abomination! (Probably went a bit overboad with that) Invictus looks like a propper scout now. Voron got some pimped out Mule wheels Epec crane is more stable now. Step Pike got bigger wheels. Zikz can proper haul now.
Might not be for everyone's liking but that's just my take on a few needed upgrades.
Is this on Nexus, or can mods be downloaded from the game's mod menu?
Great work, by the way.
I appreciate it! Yes from nexus, the one I got is Vehicle Editor v2.5.1R-9-beta . I couldn't get anything else to run apart from just this one. Wouldn't say it's a OP mod but does make your game experience more pleasant with a few tweaks. You can also edit the width blade reach of dozers or pavers width reach so I've been building double roads instead of struggling with single passes
I was talking about vehicles, I'm a modder 😅
Oh, in that case all those settings that I was fighting with might make more sense to you. For me it was trial and error to get some right lol
I'll take a look at that mod tomorrow.
My god man… what did you do to that paver???
I need 4.
Hahaha, the only way you can pave roads without getting stuck every 2 meters
Legit my biggest problem! A rock or stick yeah stick and you can’t get it to move.
Great work. Do you know if these are also on console?
I appreciate it! no, unfortunately just on PC. Maybe some smarter people than me will start making propper mods soon and also available for console
The Zikz it really bothers me because it’s such a capable truck with the large engine and it gets stuck on everything and it feels so underpowered compared to what it was like in mud runner and snow runner but this looks great. Any idea how to download it if you can yet?
Yeah that's one of the reasons why I started fiddling with it, you only got 1 big transport truck and that gets stuck everywhere and barely moves. I changed the torque, tyre substance friction, tyre size and betteer tyres. Really feels like a normal hauling truck now. Yeah also same here after being a favourite truck in snowrunner, was such a letdown here. This is a editor that I used that modifies the .pak file of the game with the changes you make. I put the description in replies below and got it from nexus mods. Worth mentioning that I have tried some of the other already mods on that site and none worked for me
How did you do this?
Found a vehicle editor on nexusmods Vehicle Editor v2.5.1R-9-beta to be exact. Took lots of practice until I understood what you actually need to modify
Can you write somewhere how we can replicate your changes?
Well, torque would be based on each's preference. The other important changes are at properties >prop_truck_wheel(object): width, radius, mass, rimRadius. Then geom(object) this is the name of the wheels installed, if you want to change it from a different truck you have to use the exact naming ( adding or removing any characters crashes the game on start) and last, prop_truck_friction_updater. Here you edit the grip values of tyres based on surface
So.. by chance.. would this be in the main mod list? Or would i need to manually edit..especially the wayfair awd and diff
Yes that part is straightforward as there's a list of all trucks and their individual settings. For the wayfair is just an on/off option for awd and diff and also you have the option always on, always off or controlled where you turn it on or off inside the game. For the tyres is more manual editing, also I switched around tyres from other trucks, the ones on zikz are from MTK Proseka 200 Cargo. Then you also need to modify their size, mass, rim. Also you can only save changes with the game off as it saves to the .pak file (always handy to save a copy of it just in case) . But if you wanna change multiple trucks have the program open, make the changes then close the game and save in the program if that makes sense. Also bare in mind that you need to keep the exact naming when swapping tyres around as if you change just a character somewhere and then save, the game will crash on start (guess how I know that lol)
Saving this for later as im pretty smooth brain with this sorta stuff lol
Thanks for the help, if im confused do you.mind if i message/comment about questions?
Yeah sure thing, after fighting with it for this long I'm sort of an expert-ish 😂 I'm sure you will get it, takes a few tries until you get the right settings or the changes you were after
Those are awesome. Like the other commenters said. Hopefully somebody can help you get those released to console. But good job nonetheless. We've been needing better units all around.
Hope so, too. We weren't asking for too much, slightly better performance on trucks all round, some sort of tweaks. Shame since the game is really nice
That abomination of a roller. Wtf
At least it doesn't get stuck now 😂
I just want the ability to increase torque, top speed, and wide blade on console.
Playing with PC friends puts me in an odd situation where they can build the road twice as fast but don’t want to shove me to the side. I end up taking on most of the delivery or crane missions to stay out of the way as they build roads on each map.
I've been modding my vehicles myself with no modding experience whatsoever aswell.
One question, have you been restarting the game everytime for the mods to take effect or is there a way for it to happen in real time as you make the changes in the files?
Hello there fellow trial and error modder :D Unfortunately that's the only way as it writes the changes in a .pak file which is used when the game is running. Only useful way I found if I forget which bits I'm changing. With the game open, make these changes then close the game and save them in the 3rd party editor.
Can I get the mod on ps5?
I think it's PC only, sorry bud
Maybe you should join the team and get this game to a playable state. I wanna love this game but so many issues. 70% through Contamination and the things I've had to do to get pipes unstuck, and auto built route completed are pretty wild.
I appreciate the vote of confidence but highly doubt it as I don't really have that much knowledge. I'm just happy with my win so far to make a better playing experience for myself and to help others if they would try to edit things. Think I closed and reopened the game at least 30 times today while changing those tyres. A bit of a faff as you make changes with the game off, then open the game to check. So you keep making changes, open and close the game until those changes are right. Fun times lol
That sounds exhausting but also rewarding as hell. Good stuff man!
It really is once you hit that sweet spot. If you ever try it, do not change a setting on tyres called radiusOffset. You will find out that your wheels are now half way in the ground and your truck can't move. Don't ask me how I know that :)))
🤣😂🤣
