Uber Driver Mod Revamped

Every ride's payout is calculated dynamically based on distance, surge modifiers, service tiers, and your driving performance. Fares and tips are handled in distinct calculation passes.

Base Fare Calculation

• Distance Formula: The initial fare starts at $15.00, and $0.007 is added per meter of straight-line distance to your destination.
• Global Multiplier: This base amount is then multiplied by your user-configurable FareMultiplier (default is 1.0x).

Dynamic Surge Pricing

If you pick up a passenger inside a red surge zone on your map, a huge multiplier is injected right into the base fare. Finding these zones is key to making massive payouts.

Service Tier Multipliers

Different classes of rides provide bonus multipliers strictly to the base fare:

• UberX & UberPool: 1.0x (Standard Fare)
• Comfort: 1.35x (+35%)
• XL: 1.5x (+50%)
• Black: 2.5x (+150%)

Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)

The mod calculates your ETA by assuming typical driving conditions. It adds a 1.4x pathing-curve assumption to the straight line distance, then divides by an average speed of 15 meters per second (~33 mph) to allow realistic leeway for traffic, intersections, and safe driving. Beating this ETA is crucial for high ratings and tips.

Tip Calculation & Star Ratings

You always start a ride with a 5-Star rating. As you drive, accumulating damage or taking too long drops your rating:

• General Time Penalties: Taking > 1.5x the ETA loses 1 Star. Taking > 2.0x loses another.
• Smooth & Safe Drops: Dropping your Safe Driving Score or Smoothness Score below 50% automatically strips stars away.

The resulting star rating dictates the standard tip generation range:

Stars	Base Tip Probability
5 Stars	15% to 25% of the final Fare
4 Stars	10% to 15% of the final Fare
3 Stars	5% to 10% of the final Fare
1 - 2 Stars	0% (No Tip)

This percentage applies to the fare, then gets multiplied by your user TipMultiplier, and finally by the Passenger Personality Modification.

Every passenger generates with one of 7 unique personality algorithms. This governs their strictness on damage, ETA times, and tip generosity.

Chill Local

Your standard, relaxed everyday rider. They are extremely forgiving of minor detours, traffic jams, and bad driving.

• ETA Tolerance: High (+30% leeway added to expected time).
• Damage Tolerance: Very High. Only deducts stars if aggregate damage exceeds 150 (takes 2 stars if > 400).
• Tip Profile: 0.5x multiplier. Tips consistently but usually smaller amounts.

Rushed Commuter

They have somewhere to be and expect you to drive efficiently without delays.

• ETA Tolerance: Strict (+5% leeway). If you exceed this expected time, they will quickly pull a star, and drastically penalize you if taking an extra 20% time!
• Damage Tolerance: Moderate. Loses a star if damage exceeds 80.
• Tip Profile: 2.0x Multiplier! (Only if you beat their strict ETA, otherwise standard).

Tourist

In town for a good time. They love scenic routes and hate erratic driving.

• ETA Tolerance: Very High (+50% leeway on arrival times).
• Damage Tolerance: Moderate. Loses a star if damage > 100.
• Tip Profile: Up to 1.5x Multiplier! Strongly weighted directly by your Smooth Driving Score. Brake gently and accelerate softly.

Partygoer (Intoxicated)

Wild, unpredictable, and loud. Vastly more common during the night shift (8 PM to 5 AM).

• ETA Tolerance: Moderate (+20% leeway).
• Damage Tolerance: High. Takes a lot for them to care (loss > 300 damage).
• Rating Danger: Highly erratic. They have a flat 20% random chance to lower their rating completely arbitrarily, regardless of your driving!
• Tip Profile: Completely random multiplier ranging from 0.0x to a huge 2.5x.

VIP Executive

Expects nothing but the most premium, flawless service. Highly lucrative but requires extreme care.

• ETA Tolerance: Standard (+0% leeway).
• Damage Tolerance: Zero Tolerance! If you sustain more than 10 vehicle damage, you instantly lose 3 stars and ruin the payout.
• Base Fare Multiplier: Immediately modifies the entire ride's Base Fare by 1.5x.
• Tip Profile: Massive 2.0x Multiplier. However, you ONLY get this tip if BOTH your Smooth Driving Score and Safe Driving Score are maintained gracefully above 90%. Earning anything less results in $0 tip.

Penny Pincher (Cheap)

Hyper-frugal passengers watching the meter intensely. They despise detours.

• ETA Tolerance: Extremely Strict. If you take 10% longer than expected, they pull 2 stars instantly.
• Damage Tolerance: Moderate (Loses star > 100 damage).
• Tip Profile: 0.1x Multiplier. Expect close to $0 in tips permanently.

Risk Seeker (Speed Demon)

Adrenaline junkies. They want you driving fast and weaving through traffic.

• ETA Tolerance: Hyper Strict (-20% Leeway). Their expected ETA is actively shrunken down by 20%. You must speed to beat it, otherwise they deduct stars!
• Damage Tolerance: Fairly Low (Loses 2 stars if damage > 200).
• Tip Profile: 2.0x Multiplier as long as you complete the ultra-fast ETA goal.
