Vehicle Maintenance introduces a deeper, more realistic way to manage machine upkeep. Instead of simple repairs, players must service their vehicles using a pallet purchased from the shop, with the engine showing wear over time.
If maintenance is neglected, the engine can misfire or stall under heavy load, and vehicles become fully damaged once the maintenance limit is reached. The system supports different maintenance durations, each adding a specific number of engine hours and days before the next service is due, allowing players to plan servicing around busy harvest periods.
The mod works seamlessly with the Seasons-Mod, adjusting maintenance intervals to match season length, and includes full multiplayer and dedicated server compatibility. It's ideal for players who want a more immersive and strategic approach to vehicle upkeep in their farming operation.
