🚗 DayZ Cars Overhaul 🚗 Created by fallenangel.sys 🧪 Beta Status DayZ Cars Overhaul is currently in beta and actively being developed. The core features are already fully usable, while new features, additional settings, optimizations and gameplay improvements will be added over time. Feedback, ideas and bug reports are always welcome ❤️ ⛽ Vehicles are no longer disposable transportation. DayZ Cars Overhaul is a survival-focused vehicle overhaul for DayZ. The goal of this mod is simple: Vehicles should feel valuable again. Instead of being easy transportation that can be replaced within minutes, vehicles become long-term resources that require planning, maintenance and preparation. Fuel matters. Vehicle condition matters. Logistics matter. And keeping a vehicle running can become just as important as finding food, ammunition or medical supplies. 🚙 Vanilla Vehicles Only DayZ Cars Overhaul is designed for supported Vanilla DayZ vehicles only. Modded vehicles are not supported by this mod unless they are specifically configured or patched separately. This means the main vehicle systems, fuel balancing, visible cargo positions and transmission changes are made for Vanilla vehicles. 🚙 Survival-Oriented Vehicle Rework Supported Vanilla vehicles receive balancing and gameplay improvements designed specifically for survival servers. Every vehicle retains its own personality and performance characteristics. Automatic transmissions for supported Vanilla vehicles Transmission system based on the stable Vanilla Humvee implementation Unique engine characteristics per vehicle Vehicle-specific handling and performance Configurable balancing through JSON ⛽ Advanced Fuel System Fuel becomes a strategic resource rather than an unlimited convenience. Available fuel types: Gasoline 92 Gasoline 95 Diesel Different vehicles require different fuel types, forcing players to plan ahead and manage their resources carefully. 🚚 Trucks Require Preparation The M3S / Praga V3S truck is no longer simply a giant storage container on wheels.
