Hope your idea gets a look from the devs!

The difference here is doing walk-around inspections, fueling, securing the load, etc are all directly relevant to the core gameplay (experiencing OTR truck driving). An arbitrary "cost of living" would vastly change for each person based on aspects otherwise completely absent from the game (home payments, child care, etc). None of this has any place in the scope of this game. Since when does any flight sim, train sim, or any other specific simulator represent this? Having a cost for something that simply doesn't exist within the setting of the game is actually quite counterintuitive to the immersion. Instead, we need other relevant things to spend money on, such expanding our business logistically (hiring managers for our drivers, planners and dispatchers to find and plan loads to those drivers, shop mechanics, etc). We need a more in-depth economy and business to spend our money in, not an arbitrary cost for non-existant features.seriousmods wrote: ↑12 Nov 2021 01:53 This general concept is something stunning about the SCS forum. Any mention of new features (walk mode, load securement, or this cost of living concept) is met with a resounding no from the community. I once mentioned tools to make modding easier and faced staunch opposition to that.
If the problem is that is too easy to advance, then the economy needs a rework. This "cost of living" is still irrelevant in that regard.iconRJ wrote: ↑12 Nov 2021 14:12 @bobgrey1997 my dear friend, where is it written in the first post that it would be "arbitrary"?
If it's implemented in the game and you don't want to use it, don't use it, simple as that.
Again, the interference of this mechanism is because it is unrealistic to buy a new truck in just 4 or 5 trips, in addition to what could include in these costs the daily operations of a transport company, after all if you are the owner of the company , you decide where the profits go.
In my opinion, when it's too easy to level up in the game, buy trucks, etc., you lose your sense of achievement.
