Is compatible with controller and split screen?

Never mind Im not getting the option to dismantle it, I've clicked everywhere and even broken the car to the point its at 10% condition, I've got it enabled and everything

Finally! now that giant useless ass red van I brought to my base can be made into something!
Brought it to base because it had so much welding stuff in the back and it was in horrible condition

@pr0ton that normally means Steam is not downloading the mod properly. This can usually be fixed by closing PZ, unsubscribing, waiting a few minutes, resubscribing.

Build 42.11.0 here. I have no idea why, but the mod is not showing up in the mods list neither when trying to add more mods to an existing save.

this is what everybody want

Now that's something I've been looking for, great job! Thanks! :)

@Mitty B42 only. There are some other B41 mods that provide the same functionality, though the one I used to use is old enough you need to edit the propane requirement because it is still calibrates for 100 units per torch instead of 10.
¡★! Mitty ¡★! 22 Jun @ 3:34pm 
There's a b41 version?

Hi, so basically i added it mid save but i still dont have an option to dismantle the cars, the mod is turned on and "lua" changes everytime i load up the save file but mod is just not working... (im in B42)

Ahh! That explains it, I never noticed the B42 requirement. I'll have to check it out when I update. Unfortunately, I cannot update until Brita's pack is updated as I cannot live without his mod :) Thank you for letting me know my mistake.
Nepenthe  [author] 20 May @ 5:19am 
This mod is B42 only
7.62forU 18 May @ 1:37pm 
Same. Playing on Build 41 and this mod doesn't show up in the mods list and cannot be activated. I'm not sure why this is happening but it seems to be a common issue according to the comments. Strange as I've never run into this before.

refuses to show up in my game when I subscribe.
TEMPEST 12 May @ 11:07am 
Very cool! Thanks very much for the info!!
Nepenthe  [author] 10 May @ 7:42pm 
@Tempest you can use the Tidy Up Meister mod to re-equip your original headwear (and handheld items), or in the vehicle section of Sandbox Option you can disable the need for a welding mask and just squint while you cut vehicles apart.

TEMPEST 10 May @ 11:07am 
Hi. Thanks again for this amazing mod; I have one suggested improvement: Is there any way to replace what was on the characters face/head after the dismantling has finished? i.e. I run around with my character wearing a hard hat/tactical helmet and a full face gas mask(or half mask respirator if I haven't found a gas mask yet). When I select 'dismantle car' it replaces all these with the welding mask correctly; however upon completing the dismantling it doesn't remove the welding mask and put back the previous head/face gear.

Is this doable? Thanks

@johnl also, was this crashing on vanilla vehicles of modded ones, and if modded which vehicles?
Nepenthe  [author] 28 Apr @ 6:54pm 
@johnl Do you have a copy of the crash error?
johnl 28 Apr @ 4:15pm 
this appears to have been causing my game to crash at some point when dismantling a vehicle, took it out and has not crashed in 20 plus hours
SEANZGAMING 27 Apr @ 10:13pm 
Same as what @evil_this said, not showing up in 42.7.0
evil_this 21 Apr @ 12:25am 
42.7.0 does not appear in my mod list. I confirmed Steam downloaded the mod files.
~SinfullySweet~ (She/They) 7 Apr @ 4:44am 
@Nepenthe Thats so strange cus I can literally dismantle cars in singleplayer and I thought it came from this mod. hmm.
johnl 27 Mar @ 5:18pm 
now workie for me, maybe next version LOL
Nepenthe  [author] 24 Mar @ 10:16pm 
@intox it's possible, but feels like it would just be an annoying blocker when you want to dismantle a car at 42% overall condition so you have to edit settings and restart the game.

What is the use case you see for this feature?
Nepenthe  [author] 24 Mar @ 10:13pm 
@sinfullySweet This mod doesn't work at all in B41. There are some other B41 mods that provide the same functionality, though the one I used to use is old enough you need to edit the propane requirement because it is still calibrates for 100 units per torch instead of 10.
~SinfullySweet~ (She/They) 24 Mar @ 10:03pm 
@Nepenthe I meant in B41, my bad
intnox 14 Mar @ 12:13pm 
Can you add a threshold for the dismantle option to be activated for example all vehicles under 40%, if this has already been answered just ignore my question.
Nepenthe  [author] 13 Mar @ 5:25pm 
@SinfullySweet there is no B42 multiplayer
~SinfullySweet~ (She/They) 13 Mar @ 1:28pm 
Works in single player, not in multiplayer?
Dhars 8 Mar @ 9:20am 
@Nepenthe Thanks for the reply! Cheers
Nepenthe  [author] 7 Mar @ 2:21pm 
@Dhars yes, this mod doesn't touch anything related to repairs.
Dhars 7 Mar @ 9:11am 
Can this be used along with "Vehicle Repair Overhaul" mod?
TaikaJamppa 6 Mar @ 2:52pm 
Nepenthe Yeah, I loaded a bunch of KI5's vehicle mods already - a full collection of them. Only played the tutorial so far... XD
Nepenthe  [author] 6 Mar @ 2:50pm 
@ TaikaJamppa the car is KI5's '63 Volkswagen Beetle. There are a lot of car mods for Zomboid, by I personally find KI5's work to be the best quality as well as having a style that is both high-quality and fits into the Zomboid world.
TaikaJamppa 6 Mar @ 2:06pm 
First time player of Zomboid, but the picture of good ol' VW Bug caught my eye... ;)
Nepenthe  [author] 5 Mar @ 3:36pm 
Mod updated for B42.4, which just means it is now using the new vehicle dismantling loot table which removes the broken glass and adds more variety and quantity of metal bits.
Dyne Enigma 2 Mar @ 6:54pm 
Just saw at the top that it says B42
Nepenthe  [author] 2 Mar @ 1:39am 
@dyne are you on B41 or B42?

Have you confirmed that stream has downloaded the mod files?
Dyne Enigma 1 Mar @ 1:31pm 
So I subscribe and this isn't even showing up in my mod list. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

"...For to be a wreck is a condition a car must be born with."
10/10, perfect diction.
NevStark 24 Feb @ 4:45am 
@SexyPanda The same goes for the vanilla option. Try to click in the middle of the vehicle, not in front or behind, on the side, between the doors. It usually doesn't fail there.
SexyPanda 24 Feb @ 3:38am 
Some times I have to right click 4 or 5 times before it pops up for me.
Nepenthe  [author] 23 Feb @ 6:10am 
@rngdrink just like with vanilla and wrecked cars, if can be fussy about giving you the context menu; try move ing a bit and clicking around.

@egregins do you get that message even with this mod disabled? Nothing in this mod triggers constantly and no global variables are changed, which didn't mean it's not a really obscure bug but does mean it's not likely based on your description.
RNGdrink 23 Feb @ 3:24am 
I don't see any new buttons to press when I right click a car
Egregons 23 Feb @ 2:03am 
Hey, I'm constantly getting an error reported in ErrorMagnifier: NVSmashedCarDefinitions.lua-- file: NVSmashedCarDefinitions.lualine # 4 | MOD: No Vanilla Vehicles java.lang.RuntimeException: attempted index of non-table
Can you help me?

"They get teleported to a farm upstate to happily live out the rest of their lives in a place of peace and contentment with a friendly farmer who takes care of all of their needs."

Lmao, I have also found no evidence of this being untrue. Very honorable of you, thank you, works wonderfully! :spiffo:
Nepenthe  [author] 20 Feb @ 4:15pm 
@lastty There's no logging other than debug messages, because currently in B42 either you dismantled the car or you watched someone else dismantle it in split-screen.

Or someone broke into your computer without you knowing and wrecked your car, in which case this mod distracted them from stealing all the money in your internet banking account.
Nepenthe  [author] 20 Feb @ 4:12pm 
@Samj thanks, I'll fix up the mod.info; this is what happens when you don't decide on a mod name until the very last minute and forget to update it everywhere!

@Latex I don't have the time to backport to B41, but I give permission for my code to be used by anyone who wants to do the backporting. There is a mod I can't remember the name of that allowed for dismantling non-wrecked cars in B41; it was old enough it had to be adjusted to propane torches holding 10 units instead of 100 but it did work.
SamJ 20 Feb @ 12:18pm 
just a little thing, that got me hella confused at first. The title of this Steam page of the mod is "Dismantle Any Car", which usually is the name of the mod in the mod list in-game. But in-game this mods name is "Nepenthe's Wreck Working Cars". In case some other fool like me seeks answers to not finding this mod in their modlist
