Fuel Consumption

Quasar Fuel Stations provides a flexible system for managing fuel consumption across different vehicle types and fuel categories. This guide explains how to adjust fuel consumption rates to suit your server's needs.

Fuel Types and Consumption Rates

The system supports multiple fuel types (petrol, diesel, electric) with customizable consumption rates. These rates are defined in the Config.FuelConsumption section.

Key Parameters

• petrol: Standard gasoline fuel.

• diesel: Used for diesel-powered vehicles with reduced consumption.

• electric: Used for electric vehicles with specific charging logic.

Example Configuration

Config.FuelConsumption = {
    ['petrol'] = 1.0,    -- Standard consumption rate
    ['diesel'] = 0.1,    -- Reduced consumption for diesel
    ['electric'] = 5.0   -- Increased consumption for electric vehicles
}

• Higher Values: Faster fuel consumption.

• Lower Values: Slower fuel consumption.

Throttle-Based Consumption

Fuel consumption can vary based on the vehicle's throttle level. This is managed through Config.VehiclesFuelUsage.

How It Works

• The throttle intensity determines how much fuel is consumed.

• For example, at full throttle (1.0), the consumption rate is higher than at 50% throttle (0.5).

Example Configuration

Config.VehiclesFuelUsage = {
    [1.0] = 0.6, -- Full throttle
    [0.9] = 0.5, -- 90% throttle
    [0.8] = 0.4, -- 80% throttle
    [0.7] = 0.45,
    [0.6] = 0.40,
    [0.5] = 0.35,
    [0.4] = 0.3,
    [0.3] = 0.25,
    [0.2] = 0.2,
    [0.1] = 0.1,
    [0.0] = 0.0  -- Idle (no fuel consumption)
}

---

Class-Based Consumption

Vehicles are grouped into classes, each with its own fuel consumption multiplier. Adjust these rates in the Config.VehiclesClasses section.

Key Parameters

• 1.0: Standard consumption rate.

• 0.0: Disables fuel consumption for that class (e.g., cycles).

Example Configuration

Config.VehiclesClasses = {
    [0] = 1.0,  -- Compacts
    [1] = 1.0,  -- Sedans
    [2] = 1.0,  -- SUVs
    [3] = 1.0,  -- Coupes
    [4] = 1.0,  -- Muscle
    [5] = 1.0,  -- Sports Classics
    [6] = 1.0,  -- Sports
    [7] = 1.0,  -- Super
    [8] = 1.0,  -- Motorcycles
    [9] = 1.0,  -- Off-road
    [10] = 1.0, -- Industrial
    [11] = 1.0, -- Utility
    [12] = 1.0, -- Vans
    [13] = 0.0, -- Cycles (No fuel consumption)
    [14] = 1.0, -- Boats
    [15] = 1.0, -- Helicopters
    [16] = 1.0, -- Planes
    [17] = 1.0, -- Service
    [18] = 1.0, -- Emergency
    [19] = 1.0, -- Military
    [20] = 1.0, -- Commercial
    [21] = 1.0, -- Trains
}

Custom Vehicle Consumption

For specific vehicle models, you can define unique fuel types and consumption rates in the model_fuel_types.json file.

Steps to Configure

1

Open model_fuel_types.json.

2

Add or modify entries for specific vehicle models.

Example

[
    {
        "model": "t20",
        "fuel_type": "petrol"
    },
    {
        "model": "guardian",
        "fuel_type": "diesel"
    }
]

---

Excluding Vehicles from Fuel Consumption

To exclude certain vehicles from fuel consumption, list them in Config.VehiclesBlacklist.

Example Configuration

Config.VehiclesBlacklist = {
    'bmx',    -- No fuel consumption for this model
    'airtug',
    'caddy'
}

---

Real-Time Adjustments

If you make changes to fuel consumption settings:

1

Restart the script for the changes to apply.

2

Vehicles already spawned will require respawning to reflect the updated settings.

This flexible system ensures you can fine-tune fuel consumption for your server's unique gameplay dynamics.
