    BeamNG Survival Overhaul

    An immersion-focused survival and gameplay expansion for BeamNG.drive.




    BeamNG Survival Overhaul is designed to make driving feel more meaningful, immersive and alive.

    Instead of turning BeamNG into a hardcore survival simulator, this mod focuses on expanding the sandbox gameplay experience with lightweight survival mechanics, vehicle interaction systems and long-drive immersion.

    Crashes are no longer just visual damage.

    Long trips require preparation, vehicle management and resource usage. Your car becomes something you rely on — not just something you respawn instantly.
    This mod works especially well alongside Career Mode and free roam gameplay.

    Immersion & Gameplay

    Every long trip becomes more meaningful.

    Driving while exhausted affects vehicle control, sleeping inside your vehicle allows time skipping, and crashes can leave you injured or stranded far away from supplies.

    Vehicles are no longer disposable objects — they become part of the survival experience.

    Managing supplies, storage space and recovery adds a new layer to everyday driving without removing BeamNG's sandbox freedom.

    This mod is a amazing concept and for now, you got alot of interactability. One thing i do think you could try, not saying its even possible, but have to actually refuel your car more often then vanilla. or like wear down engine components.

    I vote you and RLS team up and blend these elements together, along with more locations for sustinence.
    Had a fantasy back in 1997 with GTA1 "imagine this game in full scale simulator, including the phyisics, like driving in every way"
    have 2 seperate versions keeping both of your work solo but have the option to DC superhero team version with your survival and RLS. Could even compliment the "hardcore/hard" modes too.

    This is a really great idea though, and this is comming from someone who sees a lot of meaning in simply driving on the limit, meaning corners etc. Dont need a destination/delivery to need/love it lol.

      Thank you for your support and kind comments. If the RLS developer wants to collaborate, I'm open to it, but I guess the mod hasn't generated as much hype as I'd hoped.

    This mod has a great Idea. I love it. I just want to give some ideas for improvement.
    - Make it its own sperate gameplay (such as how rally and career mode are sperated)
    -Map Markers on the Map in the pause menu and not just in person
    -A way to make money (quick deliveries and such)
    -Most Convince Stores, Restaurants, and Gas Stations as Market Places
    -A way to "lock" yourself in a survival stance. Such as Stoping free-cam, stoping vehicle resetting, and more

    The mod is very good, but the inability to earn money, the map blips, and the scarcity of market locations (I only encountered two) make it a torture rather than fun.

      If you're playing in free roam mode, you'll earn $250 every 30 minutes until the profession update arrives. I'm currently working on the updates. If you're playing in career mode, you can use the money you earn. Thanks for your support.

      Simply go into the UI menu, search for "Survival," add it, and add the key assignments from the settings section. Thx for support

    if this is to go towards a more survival oriented type of gameplay, like a post apocalypse game,i'd suggest making a custom traffic configuration that sometimes spawns cars that are out hunting for you
    or in general somekind of external danger besides your own bodily needs would be nice

      I'd like to try this, but it seems difficult because BeamNG doesn't really have character or skeletal physics, but I might make different stories in the future. Thanks for your support.

    This mod is cool but one thing that It needs is a settings menu. Currently the only setting available is how long you gonan sleep for. We need options like toggleing death or how much damage is done to the player
    1. Brian?
      Author's Response
      Yes, I considered that, but I gave up on the idea to prevent people from cheating. If people want something like that, I can add many options to the settings. Thanks for your support

      Currently, it seems the currency you receive in your inventory might not be linked to your career. I'll provide an update soon. Thank you for your support.
