I'm looking for a mod that allows you to extract engine parts even if the condition is below 10%, can you create that mod?

Hello! I’m Kai reaching out on behalf of the Day’s End Roleplay server. We use your mod in our server and have loved it. We were hoping to make it part of our permanent mod pack.

This would include you extending your creative license to us, allowing our mod team to add/edit/use your mod to suit our server. As such we would not publish our edits to the workshop. We will include credit to you as the original creator of the mod, of course.

If this is agreeable to you or would like to discuss this further, please let us know. Thank you for all your effort.

Kai, Day’s End Mod Team

Hi, I'm representing a larger server and was wondering if we could please put your mod in a mod pack for our server. This is specifically for our own manageability, reduced workshop update restarts, version control, and server longevity between wipes. The modpack would be private and all recognition of the mods inside will be given to the owners of those mods. We appreciate any leeway you can give us on this, so we can provide our players with the best experience.

Wow that was fast! My community has been getting a bit unruly with the cars as of late and I think this will be a great help in stemming some of the destruction. Thanks much!

Version 1.1 is out
You can set your server Engine Condition Threshold from sandbox variable: EngineKeeper.ECT.
default = -1 means you keep current value (modoptions or 60)

Any chance in the future you can switch the hardset 60% to utilizing a server sandbox variable that the admin can adjust?

@Gas.Pimienta I do not want my mods to be part of modpacks, please use collections.

Permission Request:
Hi @Tchernobill ! I would like to ask your permission to use your mod in our server modpack. I will give you full credit for your mod in every media I can. If you allow us our community would be very grateful. Thank you !

On a server how will u be able to change the percentage? I’ve never used mod options with servers before so how do u change the percentage on a server? Thanks.
DarthScorpivus 21 Jul, 2022 @ 8:05pm 
How do u adjust the percentage? I have mod options active but I don’t have the option to adjust the percentage.
DarthScorpivus 20 Jul, 2022 @ 5:57pm 
Great thanks!!
Tchernobill  [author] 20 Jul, 2022 @ 10:08am 
@DarthScorpivus it can be added while a server is going
@HENRY with ModOptions , you can set the limit to any 10% multiple
DarthScorpivus 20 Jul, 2022 @ 9:44am 
Does this require a server wipe or can it be added while a server is going?

Hey there I was wondering if there was a way to have the default value changed to a lower value like 30% rather than 60% condition?

@Loki
You want the prompt so bad implement it yourself or offer to pay the mod author.
Loki 18 Feb, 2022 @ 2:34am 
@Az You miss the point and you're really rude about it so I'm not interested in discussing further
Tchernobill  [author] 16 Feb, 2022 @ 10:15am 
that's the point yes
utope 15 Feb, 2022 @ 5:45pm 
Is this mod still work in multiplayer?
Az 20 Jan, 2022 @ 4:01am 
@Loki lmao the prompt 100% defeats the purpose of the mod, what are you talking about? It doesn't "serve both parties". The point is to keep people from ruining perfectly good cars for selfish reasons (because there just is not good reason to haul so many engine parts). If someone is willing to be that much of an asshole, they're willing to click "yes, I'm willing to be an asshole" every time, too.
Loki 9 Jan, 2022 @ 3:19pm 
Fair enough. Thanks for your suggestion but I don't mind having the prompt so I'll pass! :)
Tchernobill  [author] 9 Jan, 2022 @ 2:30pm 
It's a question of point of view. I consider ingame validation prompts are negative by breaking the immersion. I will not waste time on adding some. And for the sleeping one, I suggest this mod :steamhappy:
Loki 9 Jan, 2022 @ 2:18pm 
Why not just implement the prompt so that the mod can serve the purpose for both parties?
Tchernobill  [author] 9 Jan, 2022 @ 2:08pm 
@Loki The point is not to protect a user from a misclick but to protect a server from users attempts to get engine parts monopole at the depends of functional vehicles.
Loki 9 Jan, 2022 @ 3:34am 
Nice but would be better if it had a prompt. Could use the code from sleeping "are you sure you want to sleep?" prompt
Tchernobill  [author] 9 Jan, 2022 @ 1:49am 
Yes
TimberLoaf 8 Jan, 2022 @ 9:02pm 
ah so its meant for multiplayer?
Tchernobill  [author] 8 Jan, 2022 @ 9:25am 
Yes, but this mod is for the times where users break all cars to get parts and then hold the market, not for the times you need to scrap high conditions cars.
TimberLoaf 7 Jan, 2022 @ 10:58pm 
Cool idea, but there are times when you want to scrap high condition engines, especially cause how many parts it gives. Maybe you can make it give you a confirmation window like when you try to sleep?
