Announcing Automation & BeamNG.drive collaboration!

As i said - that's awesome. But, I design the car engines and entrails like an idiot, so most likely my cars will stall right in the middle of the road.

Also, i have a small questions:

1. Mod parts will be supported to import? Like that: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1347068365
2. It's possible to UV-map the cars, add a working lightbars, etc? It would be allowed to create police/emergency versions of some cars.

 

I mean... technically speaking... you could export a car, then go back in the old fashioned way and add parts, modify things, so on and so forth just like we do with the ingame cars already as long as your willing to get your hands dirty in the JBeam files... I doubt they will be locked down or anything once exported. Could be wrong but I doubt it.

 

Will this be a content update at the same time or purely just the release of the Exporter?

 

I wonder how my tiny little sports car with 100HP and truck suspension is gonna handle hirochi raceway...

 

How about we just get excited in a couple weeks and not ruin the potential surprise

 

I am gonna buy this game when I get my coupon

 

Yeah... Pretty sure that both games just gained MASSIVE amounts of customers...

 

Fantastic news, and possibly an introductory way to BeamNG modding for many.

Thumbs up!

 

Will automation team members who are on this forum get some sort of special profile tag like the BeamNG staff does? I think it would make things a little less confusing on any automation topics on these forums.

 

Can we playing Automation's cars in Beamng without by the game?

 

Comments to Automation's announcement are fun to read too:

will you be able to export multiple trims as different configs, i couldnt find this in the Q&A
still, i cannot wait as these are 2 of my favourite games

 

The cars from Automation are treated as mods. Although as stated by Nadeox1, will be in their own section/filters in the repository. So no need for Automation.

This is going to be amazing! I have 575 hours in BeamNG and 140 hours in Automation. I can forsee both those numbers growing prodigiously.

 

i only have 36 hours in automation but thats gonna go WAY up

 

Damn, this must be the most epic collaboration from BeamNG developers!

 

This is awesome! I am very surprised and amazed that something like this is possible with these 2 games. I look forward to the release of this joint-release in July. Amazing work guys!

 

Does this mean we get detailed piston and valve meshes?
