Daves Dumpsters

Turn the city's litter into a side hustle.

Description

The collection crews stopped coming. The rubbish didn't.

Dave ran this city's bins for eleven years, until the council sold the contract to some outfit two states over. Now he has a yard full of trucks, every route still in his head and he buys whatever you haul off the streets.

Dave's Dumpsters adds a complete trash business to Schedule I. Work through Dave's jobs, grab and vacuum litter, bag it, drive it around in two custom garbage trucks and sell the load. Every job makes you feel a chore first, then Dave sells you the tool that fixes it.

A note from me: this is my first mod, thanks for giving it a try! The models of the trucks, the bins and the vacuum are a first attempt as well. I plan to redo them, or to get some help with them, in a later version. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

Main features

Dave and his jobs

• []Dave, a new character on his own lot, with advice from eleven years on the bins.[/]

  []Three quests that open the business step by step: clear 25 pieces of litter, bring in 3 trash bags, fill and unload The Guzzler 3 times. Each one unlocks the next tool.[/]

  []After that, Dave has a job for you every morning: somebody fly-tipped a pile somewhere in town. Clear it by 22:00 and he pays into your bank account.[/]

  Two garbage trucks - custom models, bought from Dave

  • []The Guzzler a street sweeper. It swallows the litter it drives over while someone is at the wheel, takes bags at the side, and catches what you throw at it while it is parked. Unload it at the tailgate and the load comes out in bags.[/]

    []The Squisher a six-wheel compactor that holds about nine times as much. Load the bags at the tail, bring it to Dave full, and he pays for what is inside, with a bulk bonus.[/]

    []A slim tank gauge while you are behind the wheel.[/]

    Tools and upgrades

    • []Dave's Vacuum  hold the left mouse button and the litter around your feet flies into its sack. Motor sound, dust and all.[/]

      []Tie the grabber or the vacuum off into a trash bag with B. It uses a trash bag from your inventory.[/]

      []Dave's workshop: three upgrades for the trash grabber and three for the vacuum. Every vacuum upgrade shows on the model.[/]

      Bins, bags and cleaners

      • []Dave's Wheelie Bin and Dave's Big Bin, sold next to the regular trash can . Your cleaners sweep a wider patch into them.[/]

        []Full trash bags turn up at the skips and building sites around town.[/]

        []Park a truck by a property's trash drop-off and your cleaners carry their bags straight into it.[/]

        Co-op

        • []Works in multiplayer. The trucks, their tanks, the upgrades, the quests and Dave's jobs are shared, and progress is saved in the host's save. Every player needs the mod.[/]

          Installation instructions

          • []Install MelonLoader 0. 7.x for Schedule I and start the game once.[/]

            []Install S1API (the fork by Bars) as its page describes.[/]

            []Extract this mod's archive into your Schedule I game folder. You should end up with:

            Schedule I/Mods/TrashCollector.dll

            Schedule I/Mods/TrashCollector/dave.bundle[/]

            []Start the game and load a save. The quest Dave's Dumpsters shows you where Dave is.[/]

          Updating: overwrite both files.

          Uninstalling: delete Mods/TrashCollector.dll and the Mods/TrashCollector folder. Back up your save first - Dave's Vacuum and Dave's bins are mod items.
