Early Experimental Preview of Career Concept

i've gotten to the point where i have 650k and 5 cars worth more than 20k, so i think it's time for me to add suggestions:
1. add car theft mechanics (maybe robbery mechanics against users)
2. add more currency mechanics (savings accounts, etc.)
3. more car dealerships
4. more car variety to be bought (vivace, pigeon, wigeon, etc etc)

 

Probably not the right place to post this, the drag race mode is very broken. If you win by less than a car length ahead of the other car, it registers as a second place and roughly half a second slower than the other car.

 

I can't wait to download the game that many YouTubers have introduced me to (both Whybeare and Neilogical) and experience it's potential granted I got to play the potato/slideshow version on an extremely underpowered PC. I'm just glad that you and/or Sony pulled through (however the opportunity presented itself) and got it to a wider audience!

 

lemons. a variable chance based on how you drive. lemons. dealers get jealous or annoyed. they sell lemons. lemons for all. especially in the private market. chances for lemons in the forcast. 50% :3 test drives should be more than 60 seconds. maybe a 10 minute test drive and you have to be back in the parking lot by a certain time or the police show up because it registers you stole it. engine diagnostics at the garage that detect damage. a page in the vehicles tab that shows "engine damage: none"
"oil pressure: good" "tire pressure: dangerously high"... stuff like that that you can find and then you can return the vehicle and decide if its still worth it or not. I think itd be funny if you all put a lemon factor into the game that made tires prone to GOING KABOOM the moment you leave the diagnostic menu. like you close the page, turn around. then BANG. a very loud tire pop sound in the garage. maybe violent enough to damage a fender. 300 bar tires wouldve been hilarious panic attack for some players. feel free to take any of this and add it into the game as you see fit. I think the games spent a good ammount of time being picture perfect. nothing is perfect. especially with crummy dealerships. I think it would be funny to see some lemonaid insurance perks. (basically a perk in insurance that lets you not have to pay for lemons and it removes the chance at no extra cost)

 

@krallopian could I give a suggestion kinda for career mode? The ability for whitelisting simplified parked cars from a parking space.

You would be able to choose from the parked car list, and select which ones can spawn in the spot, and the colour. If none are selected, all parked cars can spawn there.

Now obviously these spots will only have the car in them if one spawns in traffic, but I think this would be a really nice thing for maps.

For career mode it means you could make it so at for example, Richs, only simplified Bastions and K - Series would be able to spawn in the parking lot. Or a few spots outside turboburger are reserved for the turboburger Pessima.

Please add this, I really want to make a map where each house always has the same car in the driveway, like the world exists with or without you.

 

Since 0.39 in Career mode every time I try and leave the parts (my parts) screen the game crashes. Anyone else experiencing this?

 

It works fine for me. I can enter the “My Parts” section, sell components, leave the menu and continue the Career normally.
You could try verifying the integrity of the game files through Steam: BeamNG.drive → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files.

 

I have verified the game files but it still crashes every time I exit the parts screen.

 

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game?

 

When can we expect that pump full of gameplay? In the next update 0.40?

 

I haven't messed with career mode in a while, but I just went through tediously hand-hacking all the career mode time trials and AI races to appear in free roam (the AI races along with a lot of the time trials don't show up in bigmap, in Gameplay Selector they show up under "other" instead of "West Coast USA" for some reason), and I was disappointed to finally discover that 4-5 of the best time-attack routes from the pre-overhaul career just didn't get used. The waterfront run in the Barstow, the downtown run in the ETK 854, a couple of good routes out by the suburban area/redwood forest that used a Scintilla and and Vivace 160, and Steep Bolt (if you can forgive the way it demolished cars) are all just gone and that sucks.

 

Will there be a lot of career attention in version 0.40? Are large-scale changes and innovations planned?

 

Why can't I transport bulk cargo? Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

 

They really have to up the career mode if they want PS5 launch to be successful

 

it is more of things i want to get added rather then improvements to already existing systems but 2 things i would love to see would be a business system. so it is possible to start your own business, hire ai, better cars, etc to expand it. at least sounds pretty fun to me if i could run my own business. the second thing i would love to see would be a solid street racing/ car meets system where you can either race or build a nice car to show at the events to gain reputation which unlocks more high stakes street races and more exclusive car meets

 

I'd honestly like to have things like exhaustion, and perhaps lowered pay as well.
Just running around 25/8 366 with a 240BX around Belasco with deliveries isn't good enough and ain't exactly realistic. If your character gets exhaustion (i don't know, having the playerchar use the fuel feature?) then you'd need to rent a hotel, apartment or house, which (because this is california) shanks your wallet and makes progression harder.

 

I'm seriously concerned about how easy now to get to late game jobs. For couple last patches it takes about 2-3 hours grinding to unlock liquid deliveries and t-series with tanker unlocked for renting right from the start. With this two things without investing almost anything you can start earning huge money.

In my thoughts player in delivery system could only start from food, then parsels, then car jockey and only after gaining enough reputations from said jobs gain access to liquid/bulk transport(and in like 10-15 hours, not 2(and not on rented vehicles available right from the start(renting penalties are hilarious tho)))
