Hello, I like your mod a lot? And I would like advice from you where I can find the settings for modifying the name of the UsedPlus.xml file. I need to reset oilChangeIntervalHours, hydraulicOilUsageFactor, engineOilUsageFactor, and greaseUsageFactor. Especially the hydraulicOilUsageFactor file, I need to set it to a more realistic value according to my needs, because the hydraulic fluid decreases very quickly on the tractor.

Hi @Chronak-maker, thank you for using UsedPlus and for taking the time to share your feedback! 😊

You raise a great point — the hydraulic fluid usage (and the other fluid/grease consumption rates) are areas we know need tuning. We are still actively building out the core mechanics of the mod, and balancing these values is definitely on our radar.

Currently there isn't an in-game settings option to adjust those rates. The consumption rates (like hydraulicFluidDepletionPerAction) are hardcoded in the mod's Lua source code — they're not something you can tweak from the savegame XML. The UsedPlus.xml file in your savegame folder only stores the current fluid levels for each vehicle, not the depletion rates.

That's exactly why I've gone ahead and opened this as a feature request issue so we can properly track it: we'll look into adding a settings option that lets you adjust hydraulic fluid usage rate, engine oil usage rate, grease usage rate, and oil change intervals to suit your play style.

I generally work through issues pretty quickly, so keep an eye on the issue tracker. Thanks again for the feedback — it helps make the mod better for everyone!

Otherwise, thank you very much for the question, and I would like to ask another question. Do you plan to ever provide compatibility for the Advanced Damage System mod? Because with this mod it has a repair problem, even though the Advanced Damage System mod has more realistic glitches in my opinion. And with that compatibility, it would ensure more realistic repairs such as topping up hydraulic fluid, engine oil and lubricant. while Author id577 on Github is still developing it from the beta version of the Advanced Damage System. For the full version, because I also use this modification, otherwise thank you in advance for your question.
