Trunks Space x5 (pz41)

Description
Not-so-Simple trunks space mod to add capacity.

Fully redesigned. Now with sandbox settings.

This version use LUA code (override for car spawning) that does look for Trunk and TruckBed parts and multiply weight if original one is less than 165 (configurable).
This should make it work for cars and trailers - vanilla and modded.

Works on newly spawn cars (and re-initialized if using things like necroforge).

Default values are good for all vanilla cars (and trailer mod) so they will be able to drive fully loaded.
However for use of some modded cars (like '80 KAT) it will mean that flat-bed truck is same capacity as mentioned KAT. Increasing pre-multiplier limit to 800 to allow big-trunks be also affected, will resuld with capacity over 3000. This will cause that truck to dive into ground (and not move). This is why Hard limit exists. That said, it can be disabled, so vehicles can be used as stationary storage.
If You do play with vehicles that do have bigger trunks by design, consider dropping multiplier (to like 2.5-3), increase sof limit to 800+. This will give some benefit and some balance.

PS - more space, means more items, means more mass, means more wear and tear on car - this is base game mechanic. Will not be making engine more powerfull, suspention more firm, tires/hud/lights more durable and so on, as all this is affected by increased mass.

If that's true, they mess up with trunk definition and that mod will cause issues with other mods

Does not work with the mod "Filibuster Rhymes' Used Cars! - Animation Beta".

No need to apologise.
And I do suck at documentation so there is definitely some issue on my side

lOL I read it but still misunderstood. I blame old age lol

When first went in it wouldnt scroll. No idea why but it is scrolling now. And ya with all that in mind it does make sense. I didnt realize how real world focused game was. I figured it was basic, like if wanted could have a car hold 50 tons if wanted and be fine. But realizing it has HP and suspension and tires and... ya its lot more in-depth then I thought. Would need to fine tune so much to get weight I want its not worth it.

Looking at the game wrapper you wouldnt expect that level of detail. I do want a slight boost to capacity for my truck. Its engine pretty beefy as is. But I can see how its balanced. Sorry for all the hassle.

RTFM is read the friggin manual :)

and yes it does. I did though about doing some compensation by buffing suspension/power but then tyres where blowing out much faster on each bump or you flip car on each bend.
And then i realised it's a nice balancing thing - you can overload but you can be dead slow or waste engine :)

Ah so I misunderstood how mod worked. And I figured out how to do sandbox. "just had to look a option or two lower on game creation lmao oops."

Didnt know game simulated horsepower as well. Looking in the vehicle script im noticing a ton of physics in there. Suspension and all. Also seems option window cant handle but so many mods. It wont scroll "or im blind on how it does" and your mod isnt listed. I'll just make more trips then to collect items. Or stop hoarding every thing in sight lmao Thanks for the info.

Also whats RTFM?

pffff

RTFM
by default settings it will not modify if vanilla trunk capacity is 165 or above.

If builder preset is not available in sandbox, try this:
add sandbox option mod, start builder game, use sandbox options mod to change options of running game, save and reload to make effect.


Also RTFM2 - there is reason why those limits are there as engine might not be able to pull.
AFAIK 450 HP engine will not pull 2000 weight out of box.

I click SOLO, then on BUILDER. Then pick map location. I dont see anything saying sandbox. But that could be me? Van with out mod had 1009 capacity. with mod it was 1009. Also I am using the HEMTT Cargo truck "flatbed" and its capacity is 2600. I want to get it just a little over 3,000 capacity... maybe 4,000.

what is default? Apocalypse ?
If so You can choose sandbox and then from it Apocalypse preset - will give you same thing but allow to fine tune it.

Just tested and mod still works
