Update Speculation thread

that isnt a mod that is added into the game

 

it still works
and why does that matter anyway

 

Dev vehicles tend to be higher quality than mods
OT: Do you guys think career mode will be released in 0.25? They’ve been promising it for a long time and with the longer update cycle in would make sense

 

it's not an unreasonable proposal, but I would have thought they would implement the redesigned UI throughout before implementing the groundwork for career mode.

 

both?

two major features isn't unheard of...

 

I predict we get a Taxi Route thing similar to the Bus Routes already in game.

 

but for both the amount of time it would take to implement, and the amount of bugs it could potentially introduce, they likely wouldn't want to overload themselves.
i'm thinking the UI overhaul might also involve a rethink of the backend management of the UI, as it's currently pretty much run as a separate program, leading to general optimisation issues, and if they do something that drastic, it can't be expected to just work perfectly on every user's system the first time.

 

Taxi would likely be implemented as a test for career, as that would be more random and/or interactive, so that's possible...

 

That mod has been outdated and slightly broken for years now.

Yes, career mode would make sense, as it has most likely been worked on for like eight years. However, it probably would not be the like career mode we think it will be. It will most likely be unfinished, with better features coming in updates so far away, we cannot even speculate about them.

The UI is an outdated part of the game, and I desperately want it remastered, but it probably is not going to come out this update, if ever. The one shown in 2018 looks a little outdated by today's standards, and if I had a guess, the UI, if ever remastered, would not look like it.

 

but who is driving the AI? or the player if its the AI then it wont let you in the taxi and if its the player do you get money? and lose money when using a AI taxi to get around ?

 

What ?

 

oh

true

 

how about vehicle theories? Maybe a New Semi truck or bus? or maybe even another old fashioned 50's car to go along with the burnside

 

For the 50s we’ve already got a small-ish car and a big american boat so what about something in between some mid-sized European saloon?

The 1952-1961 Škodas 1200/1201 would be a perfect example of such a car.


The 1952-1961 Škodas 1200/1201 would be a perfect example of such a car.

It would introduce a new unique suspension and chassis construction into BeamNG. We are lacking a proper OHV European four-cylinder in BeamNG. We’d also be able to expand on the engine option provided with this car; normally it only features a 1.2L 36hp (45 hp for the 1201), but there was a prototype engine that was a 1.5 litre 50hp so why not make it.

(This is a chassis from the predecessor of the 1200/1201 the 1101/1102 but they are similar)


And don’t even get me started on the plethora of body-style options (again we could use some prototypes as inspiration):
Ambulance

As a Taxi (Van version in the background)

Previously metioned Van

Station Wagon

There is even a pickup version for those who want to act like an European Aussie.

 

This is a update thread, not a vehicle suggestion thread. I learned that the hard way.

 

oh no. lol

 

Since when reading a title is called "the hard way"?

 

probably had a bunch of people get mad

 

Yeah it turned into A big mess.
