Technical Evolution Player enters the Sawmill Trigger

  1. Player enters the Sawmill Trigger.
  2. Lua checks if the player has a T-Series or D-Series pickup.
  3. Lua executes core_vehicles.patchVehicle (a v0.4 era function) to modify the inertia of the truck bed.
  4. Physics: The truck suspension compresses due to the added 8,000kg of logs. The center of gravity shifts, making the vehicle likely to roll over if the player takes corners too fast (classic BeamNG gameplay).
  5. Delivery: Player drives to the Port. A collision trigger detects the player.
  6. Reward: Lua removes the mass, adds "Money" (displayed in the UI app), and the cycle restarts.
