@Kouta: No, a given amount of horsepower will always produce the same amount of torque at a given speed.

The problem is that every vehicle in Zomboid is 900 to 1300 in weight so you're never going to notice realistic inability for a 900 weight vehicle to tow a 1300 weight vehicle. This is a problem the developers need to fix as anything much over 1300 sinks right into the ground.

You just can't make a heavy truck act like a heavy truck if its not heavy. In real life heavy trucks are 2~10x the weight of a car, but in zomboid they are only 1.3x the weight.

Feel free to comment on and upvote this post if heavy vehicles are important to you, as I can't do anything until this bug is fixed:

I am messing around in debug mode trying to make it so sports cars are slower than heavy-duty cars when towing, but sports cars can still hit 120 when the car itself should be able too without towing.

@Black_moons
I absolutely love your mods, they are amazing, I do have one question. As far as I know, the game uses HP for towing things (Mostly talking about trailers). However, realistically torque is better for towing, does this mod switch the stat it uses when towing things?

@NewMetal All I can say is read and follow the instructions carefully.
@HorizonXY They are technically automatics (america) and since keyboards don't really have analog throttle it would be really annoying to have the car slow down every time you released the throttle.

@black_moons you really should add an option for engine braking, that would be hella cool

i did the manual install again cuz of the new patch, but for some reason it still says its not installed properly

When im Using w900 mod with trailer attached when i tap W its accelerates to MAX even on gear 1 if i switch to manual , when i remove the trailer truck works normal . Halp :)

Might see some confused folks shortly, it looks like 42.12.2 hotfix undid the manual installation of the car files.

@Janx Moltar What version of the game are you running? When you copy the files over, it should ask to replace 4~6 files.

So this mod borks my game.. have tried it multiple times with fresh install no other mods clean install, purging all game files downloading again.. it just says not properly installed..

I guess I`m too stupid to copy paste mentioned files from one folder to another. Or I need to do more harder copy, evben more intense copy..

I dont want to give up on this.. but alas.. not for my two brain cells..

Alrighty, thank you for letting me know. I'll do some testing and try and find tune it. Time to see if I make a sports car have more horsepower than a pick-up! Lol

@AfroDude: Yes.
@login: By default it uses the same torque for all vehicles. Right now it does no balancing at all hence all the values the same. No idea about offroad go brr as I don't us that mod.

(Sorry for commenting twice) Just wanted to also ask if this conflicts with offroad go brr, I assume it does but wanted to double check!

Wanted to ask, do you have any recommended settings for torque multipliers for different vehicle types? I want to have heavy duty vehicles be stronger and sports cars be weaker, but I also know (in real life at least) torque also affects acceleration, so I don't want to make sports cars have no acceleration and pick-up trucks take off like a shot. What recommendations do you have for those settings? Or is it already balanced like that? (it just says the multiplier is 1 for everything, so I assumed it was all the same for each vehicle type)

would this conflict with the Knox Event NPC's mod since it replaces the same files

里程碑模组

@⸸BïGfÅÇË⸸ Adjust offroad traction in sandbox settings. And make sure its tires condition is good as tire condition matters now.

@snajdr I have literally no idea how 1 week mod even moves cars so I have no idea how to add compatibility. Ask the author to contact me.

Thank you so much i was wondering if it was that the problem or aoemthing else thank you for letting me know

would it be possible to add compatibility with week one mod? since this mod forces overwrite files in game folder it stops week one’s npcs from driving cars

messes with my ATV i have from autostar, just spins out in the dirt before i can get to going

@sergio.rmz050593 This mod doesn't touch that at all, and would be your vehicle mods that do that.

Does anybody else has an issue when getting into vehicle part of the player is seen

no b41?? my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

no b41 :(

@gmodlover911 Iv noticed no difference and it doesn't do anything particularly expensive.

does this mod impact performance?

ah, think it TPMS mod.

Anyone encountering walking into and through the vehicle, like it's not there? But still interacting with it.

@gerpity10 Validate your game files, and then install it properly by only copying the zombie folder and not every single folder in the mod, as per instructions.

is it only me, or is this causing the game's text files to ruin themselves? stuff starts looking like generic item names

I wish the developers would add this kind of physics officially, it feels much better.

@土星环 I only have it ask you to re-copy the zombie folder if I make major changes or have added many new features.

is it necessary to re-copy and paste ''zombie'' folder after this mod updated every time?

@Joco: this mod is fine to add/remove/reinstall at any time and does not touch your savegame in any way.

Does reinstalling the mod mean my save will get messed up?

New version with the requested features of:
Adjustable max reverse speed
Offroad skid noise
Trigger based analog throttle/brake
Vanilla steering mode
Better Warthunder support
Reduced the effect of sunday driver/speed demon.

Requires copying zombie folder over again because I moved the steering options from sandbox to mod options.

@Black_moons ,Thanks for the heads up. I found the file and installed it successfully.

@天蓝色的巡洋舰: Try right clicking zomboid in steam library->properties->Installed files and click the 'browse' button. that will at least locate where zomboid is installed on windows.

What should I do if there is no Steam folder in C:\Program Files (x86)?

@HorizonXY PS make sure torque converter, transmission and transmission fluid level are good, or your transmission will slip and you'll just always be at the redline.

And yes, the first number is reverse gear.

@HorizonXY: Torque converter lockup RPM is when the torque converter fully connects the driveshaft to the engine. Different vehicles spawn with different RPM levels of torque converter, its mainly a factor when starting from 0mph and doesn't factor in much at 2nd+ gear unless very high for the engine.

@artgill Just tested. they do not remain if you disable the mod. You are likely not disabling the mod in both: the main menu, AND your save via the 'load->More->Choose mods' menu

Don't delete the mod or steam will just reinstall it for you when you install the game. Unsubscribe from the mod.

@artgill And does the mod work ? If it doesnt then just ignore the settings, how often do you really go there for it to bother you ?

The mod settings remained in the game settings tab, although I deleted the mod itself, I tried reinstalling the game, nothing helped

@Black_moons Never mind I am just idiot and didnt realize at the time that cars have reverse gear too, atleast that what i think the first number is. And I tweaked it to the point I like, thanks for directions. Also Torque converter Lock-up RPM have much greater influence on RPM than gear ratios (maybe common sense but i am not a mechanic), and I think currently they are too high. As result of my tinkering, there are much greater differences between RPM between gears and 4th gear 40 mph is now around 2.1k rpm, which is much nicer number to look at than 3k.

@Black_moons yeah I am using that mod too. Thanks for directions. Gonna tinker with it a little. I noticed that gear ratios of 1st and 2nd gears are identical as in ratio of 1st gear and 2nd gear is the same number. Why ? Do you want me to share my re-done values ?

I'm not sure if it's related to this particular mod. But my zombies started opening doors. I'm using the Bandits NPC mod, is there a conflict with it?

@Black_moons You're a Saint for looking into it.

One of the best mods ever created

oh well, sad. I hope theres an easier workaround in the future
