PC We shouldn't be able to pick up Vehicles

That's a great challenge mode! I'd love a setting, like Carry-able Vehicles (ON/OFF). But I'm sure someone can figure out how to make this a reality. 

As much as I agree with OP, I don't think this is so important that it can't be done through settings or mods. I'm definitely going to give it a try for one of my playthroughs. 

 
I was just looking at some mods, and I found out that Ravenhearst mod has exactly what I'm talking about.

Cool.  :cool2:


Vehicle Pickup Disable


Realistic weights on vehicles. You can no longer pick up and store your heavy vehicles. Bicycles can be picked up. Be careful while driving and prepare to dig a vehicle out if it is stuck.

That's great! Can this mod be installed as stand alone?

 
This is an option in the upcoming ServerTools version 19.6.4. It turns off all vehicle pick up if you so wish

Take note, ServerTools is for dedicated servers, not single player. You could load a dedicated server and play on it solo of course 

Players should not be able to move the vehicles into the inventory within the blink of an eye in a PVP scenario - at least while the vehicle does not have the full HP, the process could last like 10 - 15 seconds. It`s more or like the matter of abuse of the system. Digging canyons under the vehicles to finally leave the hole is as much realistic as picking up the vehicle itself... that`s solely my biased opinion.
I am working on the code for the upcoming ServerTools release that allows you to stop vehicle pickup. The timed event you mentioned is a really interesting idea. I can already stop the pick up but I wonder if it would be possible to start a timer, ask them to stand still and then give them the bike after the timer is up so long as they did not move. I don't see why not. It would add a sort of breakdown/prep time to it

 
A somewhat related video... About horses, not cars. But i think it explains the topic fairly well.

edit: Not my video.

I for one, am glad we can pick up vehicles.  They glitch and are sometimes rough to deal with when you hit invisible bouncy walls and get catapaulted several feet up into the air, or fall into the ground.  I remember once my minibike glitched literally under a highway.

So I'm thankful.

But honestly.. you're not required to pick them up.

That's because your PC can't keep up with the chunks loading, has nothing to do with normal gameplay.

When the game will be optimized better, this won't happen anymore (I hope).
