tweaking the rental cost of equipment?

Post by VAGamer »

For RP purposes, I want to simulate a contractor loading my auto-loading log trailer (Fliegel Timber Runner). I was thinking about increasing the daily rental cost for a frontloader by about 10k to account for the phantom helper.

Can anyone provide info on what file I would need to edit, and how to make such edits? I would prefer this approach to just adjusting the money using a money cheat multiple times.

thanks for any help

There is no direkt way to change the rental cost alone. They are fixed to the final buying price of the machine.
base = 2%
hourly = 2.1%
daily = 1%

I'm not aware of a mod changing only the rental costs. So you need to increase the price of the equipment.

Another idea would be:
Why only renting a frontloader? You could rent a wheel loader and logfork maybe? Or any other equipment that has rental cost matching your needs? If you don't plan on actually using it, it pretty much does not matter, what you rent for the phantom helper.

That's a terrific idea - sometimes the simple approach is best. Thanks for the idea.
