RVRepairVan - Get Your RV Back on the Road

🛟 Need help or found a bug? Get support at support.doodesch.de/rvrepairvan.

Your RV got blown up in the intro? Now you can actually fix it. A proper tracked side quest sends you from the motel manager to Mrs. Ming to Marco the mechanic, with real errands, referral haggling, and a little repair cinematic at the end. Built on S1API.

Version Game MelonLoader S1API Status

Features

  • "Back on the Road" questline (default). After the RV is wrecked during the intro, the quest starts on its own and points you to the motel manager (Donna), who sends you to Mrs. Ming, who has you fetch a crate from a dead drop before she refers you to Marco the mechanic at the docks.
  • Native dialogue via S1API: real in-conversation choices and replies, not floating one-line bubbles, and it shows up in the journal and the on-screen HUD tracker.
  • Referral pricing. Marco quotes $50,000 up front; tell him "Mrs. Ming sent me" and it drops to $10,000. Optionally earn his trust (a second dead-drop pickup) to hand over packaged product samples that shave the bill down further, to the floor.
  • Real carried items. The crate and package are actual items you pick up and carry (with a proper icon and in-hand model). Lose one and the NPC charges a $500 recovery fee to continue.
  • Repair cinematic. When you pay, the screen fades to black, you hear Marco work on it (and grumble), then it fades back and he tells you she is ready. Plays in both modes.
  • Marco's build-outs. Once the RV is standing again, he sells four upgrades that turn it into somewhere you can actually work. Each one costs money and runs its own short cinematic: gut the interior ($2,500) for floor space, a workshop floor ($7,500) that adds 24 build tiles to the RV's own 32, crew quarters ($15,000) so three employees can be stationed there, and a loading dock ($25,000) your supplier can deliver to. The first three build on each other; the dock stands alone.
  • Save-bound persistence. Progress and the repaired RV are stored inside the game save, so they stay in sync with the world: finishing without saving (or after a crash) correctly reverts instead of leaving you stuck.
  • Simple mode (QuestMode = Simple): skip the story and just talk to Marco, pay the flat repair price, and get the cinematic.
  • Configurable prices and discounts, read live - change them in settings and Marco's offer updates without a restart.
  • English and German - and your language. The questline picks German automatically on a German system (the game has no language setting of its own), English everywhere else, and you can add or fix translations yourself with a simple JSON file - no modding needed. See Configuration.

Requirements

Component Version / Source
Schedule I 0.4.6f11 (IL2CPP, current Steam public build)
MelonLoader 0.7.3+
S1API ifBars/S1API_Forked 3.1.8+ (dialogue, items, dead drops, money, save system)

Installation

Recommended: a Thunderstore mod manager

Install with a mod manager (r2modman / Gale) from the Schedule I community; the dependencies (MelonLoader, S1API) are pulled in automatically.

Manual

  1. Install MelonLoader 0.7.3 for Schedule I.
  2. Install S1API (its DLLs go in Mods/ and Plugins/ per its own instructions).
  3. Drop RVRepairVan.dll into your Schedule I Mods/ folder.

Configuration

Settings live in UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg under RVRepairVan_01_Main.

Setting Default What it does
Enabled true Master on/off for the repair feature.
QuestMode Questline Questline = the full Donna -> Ming -> Marco story. Simple = just talk to Marco and pay.
RepairPrice 1500 Simple-mode price, and the price floor the questline can never go below.
BasePriceNoReferral 50000 Questline price if you walk straight to Marco.
BasePriceWithReferral 10000 Questline price after you drop Mrs. Ming's name.
MinSampleDiscount 100 Smallest price cut a single packaged sample can give.
MaxSampleDiscount 500 Largest price cut a single packaged sample can give.
UpgradesEnabled true Marco's build-outs. Off = the RV stays a plain shell.
PriceGutInterior 2500 Clears the bed, bench, cabinets, chairs and the partition wall.
PriceWorkshopFloor 7500 Extends the build grid. Needs the interior gutted first.
PriceCrewQuarters 15000 Lets employees be stationed at the RV. Needs the workshop floor.
PriceLoadingDock 25000 Adds a delivery dock.
CrewSize 3 How many employees the RV holds once the crew quarters are built.
BuildGridExtraTiles 24 Tiles the workshop floor adds on top of the RV's own 32.
InstantRepair false Repairs the RV free of charge as soon as it is wrecked.
RepairTakesADay false Marco keeps the RV for 24 in-game hours and texts you when it is done.

The language lives in its own shared section (DooDesch - all DooDesch mods with translations read the same value):

Setting Default What it does
Language auto auto = follow the OS language (German -> German, otherwise English), or force a code like en / de / fr. Takes effect after a restart.

Add your own translation

Want the quest in a language the mod doesn't ship, or prefer different wording? After one game start you'll find templates in UserData/DooDesch/Localization/RVRepairVan/ - _template.en.json with every translatable line, plus one per shipped language (e.g. _template.de.json with the built-in German). Copy one, rename the copy to your language code (e.g. fr.json), translate or tweak the values, restart. Your file wins over the built-in texts.

Translations can also be installed as their own mods (a code-less package shipping Mods/Localization/RVRepairVan/<code>.json) - and you can publish yours the same way. Step-by-step guides: the ScheduleOne-L10n wiki.

Debug-only toggles (Destroy RV, Add $10,000, Dump state, Play repair cinematic) exist only in development builds and are not shipped in the release.

Usage

  1. Play through the intro until the RV is wrecked and the early quests have begun.
  2. The "Back on the Road" quest appears and points you to the motel manager.
  3. Follow it: Donna -> Mrs. Ming (accept her errand, grab the crate from the dead drop, bring it back) -> Marco at the body shop.
  4. Ask Marco to fix the RV, drop Ming's name to cut the price, optionally do his pickup and hand over packaged samples for further discounts.
  5. Pay - enjoy the repair cinematic - then go check on the RV.

Prefer no story? Set QuestMode = Simple and just pay Marco directly.

Compatibility

  • Disable other RV-repair or Marco-dialogue mods to avoid duplicate or conflicting choices.
  • IL2CPP build only (current Steam public branch). A Mono build for the alternate branch is planned.
