just got updated, should work now. got in contact with mod author.

I agree with @FunkinGreat, this Mod causes massive shadows around car wrecks so they all act like invisible buses.

This mod is sadly broken and I guess will never be useable again.

I'm not sure if this was a mod conflict or what was happening, but this mod was causing the burnt out wrecks to project a "shadow" around themselves.

The shadows were all the same size regardless of the vehicle wreck.
The shadows had a hitbox, making ever wreck effectively the same size and weight.
The shadow hitbox prevented you from towing most wrecks, except for a few modded wrecks that didn't have shadows for some reason. Removal of the source mod did not alter the shadows for vanilla wrecks.
I also tested a variety of other mods, or their absence, and nothing but this mod changed the evil, annoying shadows.

I have created an essentially identical updated mod here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2444374984

My mod doesn't modify burnt cars, but it doesn't need to as they are already weight adjusted in B41.

I would love to have a mod that does nothing but reduce muffler, tire, suspension etc. wear and a separate one that disables it. I am even willing to learn the inner workings of the game to develop and maintain it myself, but alas, there are no good up to date modding resources.

If you ever have time phil/rhymes would enjoy being able to talk to you about how to mod the game, specifically vehicles, increasing durability and repairing of items, and adding crafting recipes,

Update in the works, plans on what do do, or are you waiting for 41 beta to finish before updating?
I tried it on 41 it loaded cars, some invisible, but i was impressed with what i saw. It made my Frame Rate terrible which; I'm assuming may not just been from your mod. I had a few active at the time.

does this work with filibuster's cars?

Ah ok
I slept in my vehicle, can't remember how I exited the game and came back and it was gone.

@Huey it's possible to have a wall of burnt up cars, probably best to do it near the pile ups at dixie gas station, the crossroads south of Muldraugh or the bridge to Valley Station. The hard part would be getting the wrecks lined up right the first time as you can only push and not pull wrecked vehicles! If you tried moving wrecks to your currently location you might starve to death because it take a long time.

@Chicken McNuggets this mod doesn't do anything to vehicle positions, physics collisions or anything of the like. The routines changed by this mod are really basic so it shouldn't have a major impact on how the game works.
I did read some posts about disappearing vehicles, make sure you are closing the game properly. The core game may have an issue where the vehicle location isn't properly saved from memory due to power outages, game crashes, etc. I haven't experienced any issues with vehicles disappearing and have logged a ton of hours while using this mod.

Can this mod cause current vehicles to despawn?

On a slightly unrelated note, how feasible is it to use wrecked vehicles as barricades? Been thinking about making a nice fallout-esque car wall to hide behind.

@Richy, I wouldn't have thought about that! There are options for centerOfMassOffset and physicsChassisShape in the LUA. 3 integers for centerOfMassOffset, may have to play with that to see how the phsyics work. I wonder if the offset is slightly forward already, awesome thinking!

as a Vehicle Engineer, i can tell u most time the center of mass in Cars, specialy Pick ups is not in the middle, its slithly more by the motor

Nice mod lol

yes now charva

@Davit, there isn't much of a preview to show off as it's minor adjustments/tweaks to the existing vehicle build. I added an image on how to move a wrecked vehicle that may help!

The name of the mod may be a bit misleading, it's just a play on words with how American's think anything made in the USA is superior in quality. Some flashy sales pitch with an obnoxious story leading to funny comments :)

dis dman danfk mozdz riht herrr

preview?

Thank you !

@Tea Earl the Grey - Yes, you need to have the current build of cars enabled, IWBUMS 39.45 Ja, es erfordert das Fahrzeug bauen

@ the phil

Work this mod with existing Cars and Saves ?

very nice, ill be giving this a try.
