This mod reduces diesel consumption under load while keeping the game’s consumption unchanged at idle. It is compatible with all motorized vehicles, including those added by other mods.
Features
- At idle (0% load), consumption remains the same as in the base game.
- At full load (100%), consumption is multiplied by a coefficient, ×0.50 by default, approximately half as much.
- In between, consumption varies proportionally to the engine load.
- With the default settings: 0% load: ×1.00, 50% load: ×0.75, 100% load: ×0.50.
- In tests, a tractor travelling at 27 km/h consumed 34.2 l/h without the mod and 18.3 l/h with it.
- Only affects diesel: other consumables remain unchanged.
- Multiplayer compatible: the host or server sets the coefficients, while other players see the options greyed out.
- No new objects and no price changes.
- The settings are saved with each game.
Specifications
- In Settings → Game, a “Realistic consumption” section allows you to adjust the consumption at full load from ×0.30 to ×1.00.
- Consumption at idle can be adjusted from ×0.50 to ×1.00.
