Realistic Mechanical Systems

Realistic Mechanical Systems (RMS) – First Public Release

RMS is a complete mechanical condition, maintenance, and reliability system that makes vehicle ownership truly matter over the long term. Instead of treating damage as a single percentage, this mod models multiple mechanical systems independently and lets their condition affect maintenance, diagnostics, reliability, and operating costs.

Core Features:

• Individual mechanical systems and component wear
• Vehicle condition and maintenance tracking
• Mechanical diagnostics and repair estimates
• Scheduled and corrective maintenance procedures
• Engine, drivetrain, electrical, hydraulic, and thermal systems
• Persistent fluid levels and servicing
• Breakdowns and component failures
• Pre-shift inspections
• Full technical records and maintenance history
• Vehicle fleet overview
• Multiplayer and dedicated-server support

RMS is built around long-term gameplay: vehicle age, operating hours, maintenance history, and mechanical condition progressively build a unique history for every machine in your fleet. Inspect the vehicle, identify problems, plan the work, carry out maintenance, and keep a permanent technical record – mechanical depth without arbitrary penalties, where systems react to what the machine is actually doing.

This is the first public milestone (0.10.0.0). The project is still under active development. Bug reports and detailed feedback are very welcome!
