multiplayer? weird top mods

[ArriesIsHier]

So I've been looking at this game for a long time through videos ect ect.
I decided to buy it , it doesn't seem like theres much content in mods or like saved progress in the campaign or anything. Am I missing something? Is there multiplayer and what kind of stuff do regurlar players to keep playing the game and finding it fun? I am currently playing with a steering wheel adn pedals with force feedback and must say it's loads of fun.

Though downloaded cars off mods cannot have a view inside the car , does anybody know why?

there isn't a career yet. it's pretty far away. there is two multiplayer mods. i've tried one, wasn't great. also, where are you downloading mods from? since any decent mod car will have an interior view.

What does this mean? There are three categories right?

automation mods are made in a game called "automation" they don't have an interior, or well, you, or the mod maker can jbeam an interior into them, and get the wheel moving and all that stuff, but where are you downloading mods from?

The in game menu , it takes me to a page where automation is one of three options

Automation mods don't often have interiors. Some do, some don't. There was recently a mod released for Automation that allowed you to customize interiors but I haven't personally tried it out so I can't say just how good it is. I personally don't really use Automation mods because the jbeam isn't all that spectacular.

Under the "repository" page is where you'll find the bulk of the mods. You can click through the categories on the right to see specific kinds of mods. I've been playing for a number of years now and while it may seem bloated, sometimes you just gotta look through a bunch of mods to find some that look interesting or good. You don't need to get mods through the repository- rather, you can find some online (from the Beam forums or from third parties) -- concerning the third party sites however, you'll want to be additionally cautious as you'll often be downloading a mod from a site that is sketchier than I personally like. Car mods are generally more sketchier than the maps but they are more difficult to find. I'd be happy to point you towards some car mods if you're at all finding it difficult to get some.

As for multiplayer, there are (as I recall) two main services. BeamMP and KissMP. I've only used BeamMP before however, the last time I used it was around a year ago so I can't say what the experience is like today. It took a few hoops to jump through but I enjoyed playing it. https://discord.gg/beammp that's their discord if you're interested in learning a bit more.

As for one of your last questions, I just do whatever I find interesting. Most of the time, I just go around in a random car driving on a random map. Sometimes, I do some off roading, track racing, derby/rally, etc. There isn't a set "objective" for Beam, it's more of just finding something you like to do.
