Fuel Drain Settings

[Beltway]

So, cars, bikes, and boats seem to drink fuel like nobody's business. So much to the point that it's not possible to make it to other fuel stations. I'm sure this isn't intended (at least I'm hoping it isn't) so I'm curious if there is a fix for this in server settings. Now I see the following in sever settings:

FuelDrainFromEngineMultiplier=1

However, no matter what I set it to, it doesn't slow down or speed up the consumption of fuel, so I'm guessing that command is borked. Does anyone have any remedies to this fuel consumption issue?

[Toxicrufus]

Agree doesn't appear to have any effect atm

I guess that's just an on/off setting. 0 is off, all or nothing, isn't it?

It is not a on/off setting.
The modular cars have not yet been coded to the fuel drain settings. This was previously mentioned in another post.

Wait so people are actively playing with this insane bug? I figured there would be more complaints about it.

It is not a bug. The devs have not installed the coding to either of the 2 cars or the dirt bike as of yet to make the fuel drain setting functional.
It has been this way since they removed the old rides and gave us the WW. So since .8 dropped.

That's not possible. On my community server we didn't have this issue. Fuel drainage was normal. On a boat I was able to go from A0 trader to B4 trader with no issues. Now I can't go from A0 to Z0 without running out of fuel. This didn't start happening until a few hot fixes ago. I'd say when the Chinese clothes were introduced, then the problem started.

Add or modify the following inside the ServerSettings.ini:
[SCUM.Vehicles]
FuelDrainFromEngineMultiplier=1
BatteryDrainFromEngineMultiplier=1
BatteryDrainFromDevicesMultiplier=1
BatteryDrainFromInactivityMultiplier=1
BatteryChargeWithAlternatorMultiplier=1
BatteryChargeWithDynamoMultiplier=1

These settings doesent seem to make anything change with other numbers is this not working atm? sorry for necro :) but please can this get some love? :)

One reason to not revive old topics is because they do not match the circumstances you encountering these days. Please open a new topic on up to date to avoid confusion.

For the current circumstance: Fuel Parameters are not yet tied to the new Vehicles and vice versa.

Hello :),

Thank you for your Contribution. According to a post from a Developer the New Vehicles are not yet linked to the settings but will so in the future.

Wolfswagen uses more fuel than an oil tanker
A full tank barely got me from the B3 gas sation to the C2 outpost and I won't make it to the next gas station. Is this supposed to be like that? The old Pickup was more fuel efficient than the WW.
Adjusting the fuel comsumption in server settings didn't change anything.

Hey there OP, yes the dirtbike uses more fuel than the car because it doesn't have the same capacity as the car.

xKiCkx [developer] Feb 20 @ 12:51am

It will be adjusted.

Hey guys, this setting doesn't work currently. We're working on it, thank you for the report!

[CrankyOldMan]

So I just posted from other threads Deathwhisper, Brada, xKiCkx and CheeseKing posts which were after .8 release all saying what I said.

Is it too much to ask for it to be hotfixed? Because whether you know of it or not, it's a pretty game changing bug. I say bug because it's the unintended and direct result of game patches. You introduced new vehicles but forgot to attach them to server parameters. Basically vehicles are nearly unusable. Especially boats, which drain in a matter of minutes. Please fix? Thanks 👍

I don't understand. Why add new cars and features without having their corresponding settings working to them? I wouldn't mind waiting for the content to properly work before using it. Also, are the old cars going to come back? I really miss using them and the handling they've had since I had so much fun drifting around in the snow biome.
