How are ratings calculated?
Ratings are calculated using Evan Miller's method (based on a Wilson score confidence interval) that is self-correcting. This means that the % of positive ratings & number of ratings decide a mods position on the top charts. The benefit of this approach is a mod with 2 positive ratings will not outrank one with 10 positive ratings but 2 negative. Nor will a mod with tons of rankings outrank everything unless most of the ratings are positive.
Rating levels
Ratings range from overwhelmingly positive to overwhelmingly negative. The color changes depending where on the scale the mod fits.

All of my vehicles are names after the Latin/Genus names of animals. For example; the GGMS Lupus (Canis Lupus) is the Timber Wolf, The GGMS Arctos (Canis Lupus Arctos) is the Polar Wolf and the GGMS Rufus (Canis Lupus Rufus) is the Red Wolf. You can see more info for each vehicle in the truck’s description in game :)

Operating the forklift.

silly question; do you get the rate adjustment (when you load stuff from the dock yourself instead of autoloading) for loading stuff yourself?
2
The rate for loading will be the same as when using the dlc telehandler

Parking a forklift with the forks raised is an OSHA violation, sir, even when on a trailer.

You're saying this as if normal gameplay isn't breaking every OSHA rule...

wow only 1.91mb for switch :)

Although he doesn't have his own addons, wheels, exhaust and engine sound, but he still seemed very interesting to me. Thank you for the effort and the work done

Thanks! As will all my mods I will continue to add to them after release. So what is available now is not the final product :)

It's good that there are online translators. For it is through him that I communicate, for example, with you. My knowledge of English is not enough to communicate fluently in it, but I do not need it. I still live in Russia, and I don't plan to go abroad either)

Have you tried using it? For example try to load a cargo unit from smitiville dam warehouse near the garage
I couldn't load anything. The only way it partially can drag it is to drive stright into the loading bay location and spawn the cargo over it's prongs. But it is partially and cannot securely move it.
I would suggest:
1. make a winch point like a crane one on top of the loading mechanism to pull the cargo over the 2 prongs
2. make a pack cargo function so it can move around with it.
3. get in touch with map makers to create specific maps with warehouses where such a vehcle can be deployed inside and bring cargo to a truck. Like industrial maps of sorts. The idea of such vehicles is nice, but needs supporting environments that need them.
Cheers

Thanks for your feedback! I’ll definitely look into adding a crane/winch point on the forks.
I did look into packing cargo on the forks, but the cargo will not always spawn in on the forks (if the forks aren’t in the right location the cargo can spawn inside the forks and cause the physics engine to go a bit crazy). So I won’t be adding a packable cargo slot to the forks.
From my experience this forklift works just as well (if not a little better) than the Cat telehandler dlc truck in terms of picking up and moving cargo. The forks are the same size, but this forklift has the benefit of being easier to manoeuvre and also being small enough to fit into a single cargo slot size for transportation.
Edit: Crane winch points added in v1.1.1

Yes, it seems easy to use, and acts friendly as opposed to the base game Cat forklift.
One idea. It would be amazing if you could share a video in the description, from some of the beta testers probably, to showcase how is done to load a cargo on the prongs.
I think it may need longer prongs. I cans send you a message with a video of me trying my vert best to load this thing and can't do it. Of course I am not a god, so I may be doing something wrong, and if so, it would be of great help to understand. After that I might even make the helping video how to load it up so others will find easy to use it.

Also it's partially the dev's fault for not implementing the warehouses to have proper spawn points for cargo on the docks to allow other vehicles besides cranes to pick up the cargo easier. Mainly they need to add almost like blocks on the docks to prop the cargo off the dock slightly to allow the forks to go under and be able to pick the cargo up without pushing it off the dock. I've only see one custom map do this (Mill Road) that spawned the wooden planks on blocks so you could easily pick it up with a forklift which made it much easier to do.
