Immersive Cars: Decay

Sick of finding band new cars in the middle of the apocalypse? I've got you covered!

What it does:

This mod add semi-real time decay updates to cars in the world without demand for heavy resources

Features:

Full sandbox compatibility; You decide what works for your game/server
Custom settings that allow you to: Change how often decay occurs, change seasonal multipliers, allow simulated decay over time for newly spawned cars. This means the level of decay will remain consistent even when visiting new areas where no cars were previously spawned and you can decide if being exposed to the elements will increase the level of decay that a car incurs.

Owned cars, When you get into a car and start the engine it becomes owned for 72 hours, in that 72 hours decay cannot occur, this ensures that your own car doesn't rust out right from under you

====================

With default settings cars will last approx. 5 in game years if they are in 100% condition. Obviously most cars are not that pristine and may last a little less unless repaired.

====================

Known issues:
On a very rare occasions in games that have gone on for a long time you may see a freshly spawned car decay right before your eyes, this should be rare though if using default settings. It might be more common if using settings that cause cars to decay faster.

====================

Future plans for the Mod:
- Right now cars all parts decay at a more or less identical rate, This doesn't matter too much since RNG determines a cars overall condition when it spawns. I intend to change this slightly to add a small amount of variety to the decay to allow players to get lucky finding a part that's in pretty good condition for salvage.
- I would like to have tires deflate before they start decaying. This can be done but it will require me to re-write most of the main code so it will take some time.
- Lower decay on cars stored in a garage or just indoors in general. This will give an incentive to keeping your car covered and to go scavenging for parts in areas where there might be protection from the elements (I don't believe those areas exist in the current vanilla game, but enough mods add this kind of thing that I think it's worth exploring). This also allows for the removal of the arbitrary ownership time and introduces an idea for real vehicle maintenance gameplay into the game.

====================

You can add this mod to collections if you want to with my blessing.
