Events

Potential Events

There are 6 EventTypes, animal_in_road, bandits, icy_road, police, rock_slide, traffic. Each event will do damage to your truck and take time to resolve. The likelihood of an event happening is increased as your speed increases. EventType type enumerations can be accessed by EventType.event_type. For example, EventType.bandits

Event Chance

The chance of an event happening at 50 mph or lower is calculated using the equation below.

event_chance = 15log (speed + 1)

The chance of an event happening at greater than 50 mph is calculated using the equation below.

event_chance = 0.0295(speed - 50)^2 + 25.612

Damage Penalty

Below are the EventTypes and their base damage. Damage penalties will reduce your truck’s health. This is calculated by the event’s base damage multiplied by the contract difficulty + 1. For example, if you had an easy difficulty contract and you got pulled over by the police, you would take 11.65 * 1 damage. Damage can be reduced by upgrades or can be increased by contract difficulty.

Event Type	Base Damage
animal_in_road	34.28
bandits	48
icy_road	30
police	11.65
rock_slide	31.16
traffic	20.51

Time Penalty

Below are the EventTypes and their base time penalty. A time penalty will subtract time from your remaining time. This is calculated by the event’s base time multiplied by the contract difficulty + 1. For example, if you had an easy difficulty contract and you got pulled over by the police, it would reduce your remaining time by 10.3 * 1. Time penalties can be reduced by upgrades or can be increased by contract difficulty.

Event Type	Base Time
animal_in_road	3.5
bandits	2.5
icy_road	4
police	10.3
rock_slide	3.85
