Car upgrades/customization concepts

[plush stratus]

I have seen people build non functional cars

Imagine if we could make them functional

Also the vehicles in this game look straight out of 2012

They don’t match the style too well

I think taking the front and elongating it a little and making a real frame then separating the cab from the bed and adding proper rims would fit the style a lot better while making severe improvements

I don’t believe this game is trying to be just a copy of lumber it’s trying to be something similar but not identical

And adding proper vehicles would allow it to achieve that

[plush stratus]

As lumber never did anything with vehicles

They were just there

[frail hill]

@plush stratus OK now if we could buy a chassis and build what we want and make it drive would be cool

[plush stratus]

Only issue I see is the minimum movement being0.25

[frail hill]

@plush stratus why only. 0.25

[plush stratus]

I mean when building

Like the grid size

It would make the smaller details harder to do

[frail hill]

Oh OK. Yes that and angles are hard. For me the it's the angle that is the issues. Especially when trying to make a curve. I'm working on a flying ship and because of not getting the angle right it looks like a tanker ship and not a pirate ship.

[nimble onyx]

being able to build a car from the ground up would actually be insane

have logic gates be attached to it to make automation and

oh my god that sounds so good, but it also sounds like a lot of work

theres also the thing about optimization, and with this it would be just impossible 💀

but it would be sick to be able to make custom cars and place the driving seat anywhere

it exists in games like road to gramby

https://tenor.com/view/gramby-grambys-get-get-real-real-gif-21313176

you get a chassis with a lot of connection points and then u can build whatever u want onto it

[brave timber]

Yes

[novel bolt]

what about a dumping mechanism

buy it for like 10-20k then you can dump out of the truck

[lusty stone]

To balance it add size limit and speed reduction per part / attachment

• no unanchored / flailing parts

[candid isle]

I agree, full on car tuning would be a bit much for a game like this, but i feel like certain upgrades would be nice, like being able to interact with the spawner and change like engine for more power to keep more speed with more trailers, tires to keep speed off the road and lights to see in dark areas better such as the caves
Like a menu with specific upgrades kinda like:

Engine Level: 1 [Upgrade $500]
Tires Level: 1 [Upgrade $400]
Lights Level: 1 [Upgrade $600]

Just a simple system
Maybe intake upgrades as well by making the car less powerful, for example in the lava caves from ashes in the air maybe and some better intake (air filters) would reduce that just to add some more simple upgrades to make it less easy to just instantly max out the car maybe, more options

And then the parts u can attach obviously like the lights on the roof or the door on the back for more and secured storage

Lmk what u think

[nimble onyx]

Yesss

[autumn violet]

what

i just noticed this, over a month later

[narrow kayak]

BOSS

[frail hill]

In game mod lol. Just wish it actually worked lol

[muted wagon]

Where do get types of trucks

[frail hill]

@muted wagon there is only 2 places. The lighthouse has the oak mobile but it's very hard to control. Very fast and light with a crazy fast turning rate. Almost uncontrollable.

And oak store to get the rest. I have been asking for a while as so has others to get more vehicles but we have yet to get them. With the new logic store and the closed store next to it we are hopeful about new vehicles soon.

[muted wagon]

Oh ok

[muted wagon]

Where can I download or in a game that I can modify to design my truck or is in the Dev thing??

[fresh skiff]

this is a concept, if you wanna change the color, go to the vehicles spawnpad

[muted wagon]

Oh

[frail hill]

@muted wagon yeah my picture above is not a modification for the truck it's just the miners light that I used the magic wand to place on it in the angle that I wanted it so it makes it look like it has lights but it does not it's just to showpiece

[muted wagon]

Oh ok

[uneven shoal]

this would be great lmao

[pastel parcel]

does he know

[young crystal]

bump

[lusty stone]

We need this fr

[young crystal]

ik

[pastel parcel]

already planned

cant say if its almost in the game (no idea)

[young crystal]

well i know they sneak peaked the headlights thing but it never was added so i hope it's planned but it aint confirmed

[lusty stone]

I just want the doors

[proven wind]

still waiting

[brave timber]

Yes

[cobalt plume]

We need this

[glass shale]

A way to turn regular cars into flatbeds?

[cobalt plume]

Yes

[real vortex]

Dawg they need to add a cover if they do a back latch

[grizzled schooner]

BUMP

[cobalt plume]

[valid saffron]

[pastel parcel]

[kind pasture]

you don't lose speed when not on a road though

[left river]

Extended veriant

[clever shuttle]

It used to be until an update which was more than two months ago

[thorn stag]

Are the dev not focus on adding new car or it just that it take forever to add new car

Did they stop working on it or something

[hollow ridge]

they're clearly planning something, given that there's an entire closed store dedicated to it.

[thorn stag]

Yeah but i don’t wanna sound rude but is it THAT hard to make a new car and just add it to the game I just feel like they are not doing anything about it maybe bc they don’t have enough idea to make it a shop by itself

[dapper sandal]

Imagine doors being an optional extra on a car 🤣

[haughty sentinel]

At the same time they are adding really cool updates rn

[kind pasture]

there is?

[slate yew]

idc if kinder tells me off since it was shown in a publix vc but this is in progress i saw the foglights on his stream

[slate yew]

Also a drill/Bore for the front of the sellner for destroying the walls so we dont need bombs would be nice

have them expensive/slow down the vehicle a good bit

[hollow ridge]

Alan's autos, the closed half of the logic store.

[tawny onyx]

Not sure if mentioned already but what if you could replace the oakmobiles back seats with a little cargo box

[kind pasture]

oh yeah

[kind pasture]

so it becomes a faster putter

[velvet dove]

I would like to see a magnet crane trailer or attachment that will pick up stones and ores

Im too lazy to pick up ores…

[robust marsh]

Bro if its so easy why dont you do it for them and submit it as a suggestion

[thorn stag]

Just take the property of the car in the game modify it like the speed then change the model probably minimum 1 day of work unless if there doing like so much more car

[robust marsh]

1 day

What sbout the bugs and the model looking actually good

Bro its not that easy

[thorn stag]

Still 1 day

He has a whole fandom giving him idea of car and all that so it isn’t hard to make the car look good honestly any car would be good ppl generally like any car like look how simple looking the selner is

The only hard part is modeling the car that it

And the bug rarely happen if you just copy something that is not bug

Not saying it cannot bug it can but way more rare

[pastel parcel]

the cars are getting remodeleed

[tawny onyx]

I don’t think there will be new cars soon or within the next two-three updates at least, they are working on much more important things we have 6 vehicles

[pastel parcel]

make that 7 baby

[tawny onyx]

I mean really though the only rumored car is Semi and i don’t know if the game is ready for that

[thorn stag]

Yeah but I don’t wanna sound rude but there like 2-3 car that ppl actually use the most

[tawny onyx]

Well yes but it’s not a game about cars

[thorn stag]

well it not MAINLY about car but car are a big thing into this game

[tawny onyx]

I mean why would you need yet another car?

Also this thread if for the future autologistics update not future cars

[thorn stag]

dev were talking about adding new car I will not go talk in general about car this thread is more apropriate for what we are talking about

[thorn stag]

cause car are cool

[tawny onyx]

[tawny onyx]

Yes! I love it that idea and i use my putter when I trade smaller items or driving around the plots

Id love a lil storage in the oakmobile so I could take a quick run to the schematic store or something if I need a thing or two

[slate yew]

we need a drill/bumper attatchement that slows down the vehicle but allows us to bust through the explosive walls

[drifting palm]

that’s so smart

[keen sky]

where did you get the sellner model?

[keen sky]

@clever shuttle

[lunar umbra]

this is a very good idea

[river sleet]

FIRE IDEA 🎤 🐁

[hasty anvil]

@clever shuttle is this still being considered by devz

[clever shuttle]

I don't know anything about what's going in development, other than what has been publicly stated

[heavy stratus]

dont do the doors or else it will be like lt2 and it will be anoying to close the doors

[tranquil adder]

HIRE THIS MAN NOW

[tranquil adder]

too bad hehehw

players will hop in ur car for no reason

we need them

[heavy stratus]

ye but we gotta close doors automaticly

manualy i mean

[tranquil adder]

so

its a option

[tough hawk]

YES YES YES ADD THIS

[young crystal]

guh

[pastel parcel]

its already-

[tough hawk]

wdym

[keen sky]

???

[thorn lantern]

it could be another kind of upgrade, in case ya dont want it

[slate yew]

i think vehicles will get there new models before they implement this

[cobalt plume]

a full uranium v 10 engine in a oakmobile

Interesting

i want this to make a super sonic oakmobile

[steady moth]

This is epic we need

[lusty stone]

Filling it with uranium should give off ionising radiation (depending on which isotope it is)

[brisk ferry]

Great idea!!

[cobalt plume]

yes exactly

[worn fiber]

should i make this into a post by itself or keep it here?

[cobalt plume]

make it into a post

so more people see it

[worn fiber]

alr

[severe wave]

i dont see the use in this, all items within an area of your truck already weld to it when you enter the drivers seat, so stuff falling out isnt really a problem

[lusty stone]

When stopping your car on steep inclines or trying to load bulk amount of smaller items, they can fall off. Plus it looks cool anyways

[severe wave]

Ah

[crude lichen]

We need ropes to be able to secure things to cars better like when grinding plek and it's full then you could use ropes to make the anchor height limit larger

[thorn lantern]

then you also run into the problem of the height of the caves. you could end up wedging yourself in the entrance of one XD

[solemn hawk]

los santos customs in Oakland????????

[tight jewel]

REAL

[crude lichen]

f o r w a r d r o p e s

[hollow glade]

dump trailer for the ford along with box trailer( stops items from pouring out when a roll over happens)

[sly ocean]

but you also need to come up with a location where it will be sold in the store, but it is possible as in mushroom, as in ordinary, as well as sand

[grave shuttle]

this is prob my fav addition, it could work like the night vision goggles, but only while youre in the vehicle. itll be cheaper, ofc

maybe car stickers for more customization, just stick them wherever on the car

[worn fiber]

Honestly this with a cover on top would go for millions

[hollow glade]

allens auto

[thorn lantern]

I wouldn't think so, considering these are all parts you're supposed to be able to buy at a store...

[worn fiber]

yea that ik but i mean if one copy existed and you would not be able to buy it from a store

[upbeat hawk]

All these concepts are awesome wish they would put them in.

[thorn lantern]

with the new foraging update, a cherry picker could be kinda cool

doesn't at all follow the ways of Oaklands, but it would be cool

[slow basin]

they actually might add it because like a couple months ago they wanted to add it but didnt promise it they did add it into the game as testing but as far as we know, we dont know

[valid saffron]

Agreed!

[verbal ibex]

The day this comes out would be the day I never stop playing

[marble atlas]

i love it

great ideas

vehicle update please hoofer

[hollow ridge]

what about an attachment that goes over the back of your truck that makes it so that materials don't unanchor when the truck flips for whatever reason?

[steady moth]

Bro these are actually really cool

[thorn lantern]

Did

did they just announce this is being added (possibly) ?

[stable crag]

yup

next update > The Car Extention update

[grave shuttle]

sellner/extended trailer upgrade where you can dump things. why not.

[stable crag]

That be nice

[cobalt plume]

yea

its MASS flower harvesting time

[left river]

Dumb beds?

Give now

[fiery hemlock]

i need fog lights that can be turned on my truck frfr

i wanna be the sun when im in caves lol

[lyric umbra]

yes amazing ideas

[thorn stag]

Racing car with no space for storage only to zoom around the map at 175stud/s

Only cool

[grave shuttle]

oakmobile

[thorn stag]

Faster

[sage socket]

add these now

[slow basin]

they were going too..

[solemn hawk]

too complex but doors and other accessories I like

I really want doors tho

how they would work is they're no collide and open when a player is near them and not in a seat

maybe he could make it so only people who have the drive vehicles perm have doors open for them

[sage socket]

who was going too

[fresh sphinx]

i just had the dumbest idea

what if the pirate sold a "car piratizing kit"

that puts some sort of flagpole with one of those generic pirate flags on the car and replaced the steering wheel with a helm

[slow basin]

the devs
