    hello everyone.

    i was thinking about something like a draining battery.
    i searched it up on the forums but there wasnt a thread about it yet
    so, woulnd it be cool that if u have ur engine off in the night (mabey u ran out of fuel) and u need ur lights on.
    BUT what if ur battery is drained and u cant do anything. or what if u cant start ur engine anymore? (if engine starting and/or turning off is ever simulated)

    think about it dev's ;)

    Do you know how long it takes to drain a battery? I'd have to have my lights on for at least a couple hours to make it so it wouldn't start... I don't think it's really necessary in the game.

    + Cars are always running currently. So it would have no effect.

    that is wrong my friend.
    1 i said that it would be a nice aspect of the game IF engine turning on and/or off is ever simulated.
    and 2. the battery can drain realley fast if you try to run the starter motor constantly to try to start the vehicle.

    believe me i had experience with that.

    i have this old kawasaki motorbike and i tried to start it constantly cuz it wasnt working.
    the battery was drained within like 4 hours.

    and if vehicle state save will ever be implemented it will save what ur battery/fuel percentage was.
    so u can actually drain the battery.


    i hope this helped.

    Planned to be added once proper engine simulation is coded. :)
