Vehicle repairs seem too often?

[Kambien]

Is there a way to reduce the degradation and wear on vehicles? I feel like it's going pretty quick. Thoughts?

You can edit in .xml if you want to

repairs are exactly the same as in FS22

Thank you! Do you know which XML by chance? And where to edit?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think so. The fact that mods and editing XML are options that you can use to tweak default things you don't like is a good thing.

No-one will ever make a simulator where every single parameter satisfies 100% of customers, 100% of the time.

I think I found the XML file? It's my saved game and farms.xml?

Is the correct line to edit <repairVehicleCount>?

No thats just a statistic on how many times you repaired a vehicle.

The wear code is in each vehicle's xml file, so they can be different per vehicle:

For example: Deutz Agrostar 831

<wearable wearDuration="480" workMultiplier="5" fieldMultiplier="2"/>
<washable dirtDuration="90" washDuration="1" workMultiplier="3" fieldMultiplier="2"/>

But I do not know how to change these values to have them need repairs less often.

Either way, I would just wait for a repair and maintenance mod, like we had in FS22, before you start effing up all your tractors.

Open Each vehicles XML and find the line "wearable wearDuration=" " and cahge the number by a couple of digits. (Like if its <wearable wearDuration="480" change too 780 . And the wear is a bit slower.
Files are under data\vehicles\BrandName\Vehcile (like Fendt\Vario900.xml)

It might be some generic files somewhere i have no idea.

Thank you both for the help!

I paid big coin for some big gear, maintenance is way more than it needs to be, so thank you for this, have a small gift for your effort.

Use the mod Damage some thing... It is a lot easier then editing every vehicle and equipment. Then change ITS xml to fit your liking.

I don't find this to be a problem on my game at all. and i am playing on hard mode plus 28 days a month with realistic scripted mods, well!! what is out at the moment for fs25 . I been playing this way since the end cycle for Fs19. but there is a mod its called Reduced Wearout on this website its called Damage Control https://mod-network.com/en/farming-simulator-25-mods/6/scripts it might help. enjoy.

Np. Glad it was helpful.
Sure there are mods for this, but so far i haven't really seen that much use for it, since the wear is not consistent from tractor too tractor or implements too implements.

Drawback by manually editing is you have to do it again after updates / "integrity checks" or just copy over the backup .. checking there isn't anything else "updated" in the xml's.
