0.9.2.0-beta

• Significant rebalancing of system wear factors.
• Enabling the "Quick Inspection" setting while an inspection is in progress now completes it instantly.
• Enabling the "Park Vehicle" option during service procedures now applies immediately to vehicles currently being serviced.
• Warnings for cold or overheated engine/transmission now appear as a single notification instead of staying on screen.
• Added dashboard alerts for vehicles experiencing critical loads.
• Redesigned dashboard indicators with added sound effects upon activation.
• Added an option to disable all warning messages (cold engine, overheating, breakdowns).
• Fixed engine and CVT temperature synchronization when the engine is under load.
• Battery capacity setting changes now apply correctly and no longer cause mass discharge across all batteries.
• Maintenance Log: Fixed the counter for repaired breakdowns in the maintenance log.
• Fixed an issue where queuing service procedures (e.g., "Do X after Y") caused unintended vehicle repainting and unexpected charges.
• Fixed an issue where AutoDrive AI ignored critical breakdowns and continued driving.
• Minor UI improvements.

0.9.1.2-beta

• Added compatibility with CVT Addon. If a CVT Addon gearbox is configured on the vehicle:
  - CVT Addon now fully manages transmission wear, including condition loss and stress accumulation.
  - CVT Addon controls the CVT transmission temperature instead of ADS.
  - Synchronized UI indicators between CVT Addon and ADS.
  - Standard ADS transmission breakdowns are disabled and replaced with a unique breakdown type specifically for CVT Addon.
  - ADS Limp Mode triggered by transmission temperature is disabled.
• Expanded the adjustment ranges for service interval and vehicle lifespan in the settings.
• Scaled breakdown progression and other time-based mechanics to align with custom service interval and vehicle lifespan values.
• Fixed: Incorrect synchronization of engine hours in multiplayer.
• Fixed: Incorrect calculation of current service interval progress during vehicle initialization.
• Added Polish translation by PolishAgro.
• Added Spanish translation by KCHARRO.
• Minor UI fixes and improvements.

0.9.1.1-beta

• Increased interaction and connection distances for jumper cables
• Implemented a filter for system wear and stress accumulation that dampens sustained high-value factors while allowing short impulses to pass through
• Added new configuration options and expanded the adjustment ranges for existing ones
• Rebalanced wear factor multipliers (generally reduced for better gameplay balance)

0.9.1.0-beta

• Reworked stress accumulation: stress can no longer exceed the current condition level of its system. When stress reaches condition, a breakdown occurs instantly
• Returning leased ADS vehicles now applies penalties for active breakdowns and overdue maintenance. Compatible with Extended Leasing
• Fixed: lubrication on harvesting vehicles now decays correctly instead of always staying at a normal level
• Fixed: harvesting activity is now detected correctly for work process wear calculations and for checking the presence of large debris
• Radiator and air intake clogging speed is now tied to the selected service interval length, allowing better adaptation to different gameplay styles
• Removed the long harvest factor from the work process system
• Reworked the fuel system's High Pressure Factor: it is now triggered by high fuel consumption instead of indirect engine load
• Fixed incorrect data display in the maintenance log and inspection report
• ADS now controls the vanilla engine temperature value
• Fixed a bug where the battery could discharge too quickly when AI tried to start a vehicle while ENGINE_HARD_START_MODIFIER was active. As a temporary solution, AI is immune to ENGINE_HARD_START_MODIFIER
• ADS now controls operating hour accumulation for ADS vehicles, so hours continue to accumulate even when the player leaves the engine running

0.9.0.0-beta

New Feature: Multiplayer Support

• Added multiplayer support (big thanks https://github.com/Squallqt)

New Feature: Systems

• Each vehicle now has its own set of systems depending on its type, such as engine, transmission, chassis, and others
• Each system has its own condition values, stress level, and wear factors
• Each system also has its own set of unique breakdowns

New Feature: Stress System

• A new stress system has been added for individual vehicle systems
• Incorrect use of machinery can now increase stress in a specific system
• The higher the stress level, the higher the probability of a breakdown occurring in that system

• Inspections can also be used to assess radiator and air intake contamination, as well as the lubrication state of the vehicle

Rework: Breakdowns

• Added many new system-specific breakdowns, and reworked existing ones
• Breakdowns now occur depending on which operating factors were violated the most
• For example, if a vehicle frequently brakes while hauling a very heavy trailer, a brake system failure becomes more likely

Rework: Workshop

• The workshop has been reworked to fully match the new multi-system vehicle model
• Preventive maintenance can now be performed to reduce the probability of future breakdowns
• Repair options have also been significantly revised and aligned with the new system
• Overhaul can now be performed for an individual system, such as the engine

Feedback Requested
At the moment, the mod contains hundreds of variables, and some of them may not yet behave exactly as intended.
Breakdowns may occur too often in some cases, or not often enough in others.
I need your feedback to fine-tune the system.
Advanced Damage System collects statistics about how you use and operate your vehicles.
Just play the game the way you normally do, then share your savegame and your observations here: #41
This will help me balance and tune the systems much more accurately.

For a full overview of the updated mechanics, please read the README on the main GitHub page of the mod.
