Let us add dirt to our trains in the livery editor. Ask the devs to put in like 3 levels of scum. 1) Dirty 2) Dude, take a bath 3) EW! While yes I CAN kind of simulate dirt with the right unlocked patterns, transparencies and colors, doing it on a PS5 is... discouraging. File this under "nice to have".
I like it as an idea, could make it easier for livery creators (even though I don’t make them myself as I’m not skilled enough).
You can add the illusion of dirt with a variety of the base games shapes, but you just need to be strategic with your layering and transparency, and try not too stray too far away from "earth tone" colors within those layers. easier said than done, but you'd be amazed how good you can make them look once you get the hang of it
"Dynamic particles" also would be cool, a feature incorporated in many car games. Although you can't really get a train into mud park, the longer you drive the train, the more particeles on its surface and epecially for routes through areas with lots of mud beside the railway.
There are a few dirt particles on the yellow front side at the first picture. Also maybe I am blind and the resolution is also not the best, but I can see no dirt on that subway train. I would rather say pic 1 is for Level 1: Slightly dirty, and pic 2 is for spotless.
