Vehicle Health and Maintenance

  • All vehicles has vehicle condition that has a range from 0% to 100%. Every brand new vehicle starts at 100%.
  • new vehicle starts at 100.
  • As you use them, their health declines with steady rate.
  • You are required to maintain the car at Car Mechanic or Car Dealership after every 2500 km amount of kilometres.
  • Every car will have a total lifetime distance of 20,000 km.
  • You can drive a car without maintaining it, but its health declines quicker (can make its rate increase the more appointments you miss).
  • After  vehicle health hits 0.0%:
    • Car breaks down and gets sent off to scrapyard (removed from player).


Scrapped these:

  • Certain factors cause the vehicle health to decline further:
    • Hit metal or concrete objects.
    • Hit other players.

Vehicle Condition System - Full Summary

Condition Range

  • Stored as condition_value (int): 0 = 100% (brand new), 100,000 = 0% (destroyed)
  • Display formula: 100 - (condition_value / 1000.0) → shows as percentage

Degradation Rate

  • Base rate: 100,000 points over 25,000 km → 1 point per 250 meters.
  • Service interval: every 2,500 km.
  • Each properly-maintained 2,500 km costs ~10,000 points (10% condition)
  • Missed services increase the degradation rate (each missed appointment stacks further).

Servicing

  • Location: Car Mechanic only.
  • Cost: €5,000 flat fee
  • Restores: 2.5% condition (2,500 points off condition_value)
  • Resets: missed appointment counter back to 0
  • Records new last_service_distance on the vehicle

Car Breakdown (0% condition)

  •  Player is force-spectated
  • Server-wide announcement in chat
  • Vehicle removed from player (registration deleted or scrapped)
  • DB record: still TBD — keep or delete?
