    Hiya.

    Im wondering if its possible for the BeamNG Team to make traffic vehicles respond to silent lights and add multiplayer with text chat only (because people might be toxic and curse and I know the Beam Team might not want to add a filter that people can substitute cuss words in) because its a bit less loud. Also, if its possible to add traffic vehicles pulling OVER for emergency vehicles. It is a bit awkward when I try to pull cars over and having my siren on and being in the middle of the road. This is beneficial in many ways. Im suggesting multiplayer support also because it might make the game a bit more fun, along with text chat. Also, try adding phone systems in multiplayer where you can


    1. Add Steam Remote Play Support.

    Also, try maybe facelifting the Grand Marshall and giving it some new features..?

    These are simply suggestions to make the game a bit better (even though it is awesome.)

    1- Why? Theres no multiplayer.
    2- There is. You mean seasonal adjustments? Kinda hard to add
    3- ... Literally why?
    4- You want... Integration with steam chat interface? I dont even know if any game ever did that before or if its possible.

    Nobody here is trying to be rude, theoretically the suggestions aren't that bad, but:
    • In real life most drivers wouldn't notice an emergency vehicle if it had no siren on, so responding to silent lights shouldn't be a thing imo
    • Text chat only for multiplayer so people don't swear in voice chats is a great idea but we don't have any multiplayer and probably we won't have it for years still, there are working multiplayer mods but that kind of system probably can't support the massive amount of people that would come if multiplayer was official, we would need servers for hundreds of players each and making that performance-friendly would take years of work
    • Some vehicles already pull over for police, but not for other emergency vehicles, that should be a thing too I agree
    • Integrating the multiplayer chat with Steam itself, while not impossible, would probably require some special legal deal with Steam and just wouldn't be worth it on the devs side
    • Making the chat look like a phone would be cool but adding minigames to it is a bit too far, nobody plays games on their phone while driving a car in real life
    • The Grand Marshal already got a lot of new stuff in the past but it could use another remaster, a facelift is not a bad idea
    • They said they are never adding a radio because that would cause a lot of copyright problems with the songs people would play in it.

    Wasn't being mean about it, no need to delete it, and i didn't read carefully, but:
    Multiplayer is not coming officially or at least NOT a priority, its been discussed several times already, there are 2 multiplayer mods however.
    AI traffic improvement is likely to keep coming out, the AI traffic is just released recently, i hope that the devs naturally add all those features you suggested.

    And i have no idea how integration between the game's cars and your computer audio would work.

    AI in general is still terrible in this game, I mean it's a billion times better than it used to be but still bad

    I actually kind of disagree coming from somebody who has to spend hours messing with the AI for my cinematic content I've realized that the AI in BeamNG can be really clever. Its the AI getting confused where it is and where to go that causes it to act dumb. What Beam devs should do is have it generate a complete route with all the other AI around it for at least 50 feet ahead of it instead of dynamically generating its path.

    I just want the AI to pull over for sirens and lights.
    --- Post updated ---
    Also, which cars pull over?

    This already happens. They don't pull over completely, but they stop and move to the side of the road.

    Also, could Beam add passengers and stigs in the base game? I was also today years old when square wheels were in the base game.

    Yes but they could just put somebody in a full white race suit called the tig.
