Salvageable Cars

[TarynBR]

Hello. Found another mod that i think would be beneficial to some people.

Pros:

Siphon-able gas from all vehicles, gas tanks (only the ones with ladders)
Salvageable parts from static wrecked vehicles and active vehicles
Less active vehicles and less need to destroy vehicles and find another
Can get damaged hands while salvaging parts (realistic)

Cons:

None that I can tell?

This should have been in the game to begin with.

This is something the devs should have done themselves.

Yes because it looks good and would help reduce the "running simulator effect". My only concern is server lag.

I feel like that with the current situation where cars can still spontaneously be sucked into the sky by an act of god from touching a curb, having more cars will do more harm than good but that's just what I think. I've gotta give this a no, sorry.

This doesn't add more cars. It makes wrecked cars lootable for gas and parts. 

[Annoying Rooster]

Oh well I read it wrong then, otherwise I'd change my vote from no to yes but can't put the grass back once it's mowed. I'd approve of this.

[Blake Sims]

As has been aforementioned, as long is this mod isn't a detriment to server performance I am all for it. 

[CamoRP]

Truth be told, I am surprised this wasn't a game feature by now. I voted yes.

[EmonOkari]

Will it reduce/eliminate all the hoods/trunks/doors in current loot table?

No. It doesn't effect loot economy, so far as notes and comments on the mod suggest. 

[DarthDink]

I voted no due to think it would make cars to common since now you can find all the parts you need on the other cars as well as loot.

[Nonplayer]

I voted yes. I'd like to see this mod on the server. It would make sense to siphon gas and salvage parts from other abandoned or destroyed vehicles.

Yes, because more realistic - if it's not a stability / server strain of notable relevance where the drawbacks notably outweigh the benefits, then I feel the community as a whole would gain something.

I see this as likely being a good addition if it doesn’t effect server performance

 

im basically for adding any mod that makes sense and doesn’t tank the server

[Rajjip]

This looks really cool, definitely want this in!

[Guest]

Voted no.

Bohemia is set to bring the same ruined cars to Chernarus, which you can salvage for parts and such so I don't see a need for a mod. As for the gasoline part, if gasoline would've actually been rare, it would've made sense, but as it is now, there is no need for siphoning.

The last time Bohemia promised to do anything it took them 5 years to do it. How we looking on helicopters?

With just or probably 5 more years, they're basically around the corner!

Given that they took ages to bring back certain weapons we had in the game for a long time... actually no. Think about it. They're not done with the process and still need ages to bring back certain weapons that are still missing (they've been gone so long I cannot even remember what without looking it up but something is still missing - ah, yes, Revolver for example) and the funny thing is, those they did bring back over time were long covered by user mods already.

 

I recall each time they had a patch and mentioned a reintroduced weapon like some SMG that we already had for weeks or months thanks to mods. And speaking of helicopters, we (as general DayZ community, if not DayZRP) already have them as well.

 

I'll make it simple: I don't trust Bohemia to deliver anything on time or at all any more. I'm grateful they didn't completely write this game off and still seem to do things for it, sure, but they could do a lot better with certain things. DayZ mostly seems to survive off its reputation, mods and the recent overhaul but it could be way better if they would invest in a bigger / renewed dev team and more resources for DayZ.

 

But enough ranting, point is, even if they prioritize this a bit more I reckon it might take a while for them to add ruined cars all over Chernarus and then get that in a working version or the next bigger patch to us.

Yes, which is exactly why i would like to add this mod. Bohemia can't be trusted to deliver on anything they have promised thus far.

@Taryn

No because, adding salvageable parts to static cars that only benefit cars that are inherently broken, and have been since they were first implemented, is pointless adding to the waste of time that is doing anything but stealing a working car. A working car that someone needlessly spent hours to fix up only for the inevitability of two things. It's crashes because DayZRP, or is stolen, then crashed.

Develop a mod that gets rid of base cars to only add back the modded cars if anything.

I can drive just fine, you just have to know dayz's behaviors when it comes to driving. The only time I crash is when there's a lag Spike. Also, this mod makes it so parts can be salvaged from cars that don't work so you can put it in cars that do work. This also works for gasoline, too. It would make it so someone could have a more effective chop shop business. Tons of roleplay applications.

Just in Livonia unfortunately, but BI said they are adding car wrecks in Chernarus, I just don't like that all of them are rusty and doesn't match the car

I think this would be a beautiful addition to the server.

[TheMcgregor]

I voted yes and take out all the hoods and doors etc from the loot pool.
