    That's not fair, it's impossible to distinguish trolls from serious replies in this thread

    I also don’t think it’s fair for him to do that when he got ratio’d.

    I just realized none of the cars have gas caps. Will they ever get them?

    The only realistic way I could see them getting gas caps, is if the devs implement some sort of refuelling system.

    I mean, I can see it happening at some point down the line. But it doesn't make any sense for cars to just... not have any gas caps, even if they are nonfunctional at the moment. We have doorhandles too. Not like it needs to be functional right this moment.

    That's true I guess, but at the moment there's really no need for it.
    Or maybe there is, I wouldn't know.

    The reason is to save up on UV space, even though i'm not entirely sure why that is.

    AFAIK the current UVs of the cars are mirrored to save space and complexity, including the gas caps create a more complex UV as it can't be Mirrored anymore, but i've seen mods of this being done, but looke bad and was a nigthmare with skins as welll

    Plot twist: all cars in BeamNG are electric and the engine sound is just faked

    Just so you know, the Wigeon has a gas cap and no other car does.

    cars not having fuel caps because you cant refuel ingame is like saying cars shouldn't have doors and interior because there's no driver anyway.
    there's a mod for fuel caps and cars just look better with it and more realistic, and i guess this is just one or two days worth of work out of 1 dev. (they dont have to be openable, just a texture)

    1 or 2 days of work per each time they change anything in the cars. Since car bodies are made with mirror modifier, they have to be perfectly symmetrical during editing. This means that afer every little change they would have to remake the fuel caps from scratch.
    They can't be a texture because the textures are also perfectly symmetrical. They need to be modelled instead.

    That being said, idk why the Bolide has no fuel caps. It has 2 fuel tanks so it could have 2 perfectly symmetrical fuel caps. It also has modelled fuel lines that go nowhere.
