This mod is safe to add or remove from your existing saves



Repair & Salvage

The aim of this mod is to let you repair and fix up your vehicle(s)
and will bring more focus and choices for the mechanics and metal welders amongst us

-works in MP and SP (and can be installed or removed anytime)
-with a shortage of working cars on some servers you can now fix up what you find
-have a mechanic in your group? put their skills to use
-collect cars and restore them to their former glory
-learn your craft and progress, become that master mechanic you always wanted to be
-grab your blowtorch and break down many vehicle parts into useable items
-salvage the complete vehicle for many useful items depending on your skill
-compatible with all vehicle additions on the workshop
-built-in support for Valhalla Vehicle Ownership module



Repair your ride

Use varying parts to restore your ride
-start easy changing tires then with seats, have some ductape, sheets, glue, a spring? you can repair it!
-Parts have a lot more uses now, from metal bars and springs to rebuild the suspension, light bulbs for light, fabrics for seats and good old ductape for many minor fixes
-Screws and metal for moderate fixes but progress to using a blow torch and your repairs will be solid!



Salvage of Vehicle and Parts

Salvage parts from one vehicle and use the pieces to repair other parts on other vehicles

Grab your blow torch and mask to break down vehicle parts into useable items!

Salvaging Vehicle parts could provide you with several items in return!
Tear up those old stinky seats and you'll have a chance of gaining those dirty Rags, Leather, Denim or Thread!
Grab your blowtorch and mask, uninstall those beat-up doors and salvage them for a chance of Metal Sheets, Screws, Small Metal Sheets or even Electronical Scrap!
Enjoying those mods that introduce Roof Racks? Well now you can salvage those too!
Each Vehicle part can be salvaged with a chance of gaining up to three salvaged items depending on your Mechanic and Welding skills.

Salvage Vehicle is now included

Right click on a vehicle and choose "Salvage Vehicle"

This option is available once you have Metal Working skill 4 or above, Mechanics skill 3 or above and requires 10 propane units and a Welders Mask. You can salvage all vehicles except Wrecks*.
This option will completely salvage and remove the vehicle clearing the path.
Depending on your Metal Working skill, you will salvage the vehicle faster and receive many useful items the higher your skill.
I do recommend removing as many parts of the vehicle as you can and empty the vehicle before salvage of the vehicle body. This will give you vehicle parts to use, further salvage options for those parts and your character will have gained more knowledge about vehicles and gained more skill XP in Mechanics and Metal Working.

The Vanilla option for *dismantle wreck option is also still available (only for wrecked vehicles), takes less time but your returns are smaller and less varied with less XP too.

The better you are at Mechanics or Metal Welding will mean your talents will produce better results from the Salvage!
A Mechanic knows the parts he wants, gaining skills in Metal Welding means he can better acquire those parts.



Suggested workshop items that add to the experience

Many Vehicle mods on the workshop are already supported with this mod !
The list below are some of my favs

KI5's Vehicles
Cyt Vehicles
Sharks Vehicles
Tread's Water Tank Trucks
Crashed Cars
Craft Helper Continued
Viperels Vehicle Spare Parts



Compatibility

Good with everything!! I do not overwrite vanilla code, I create additions so it plays nice with any other mod you want to use.
**Place this mod after any vehicle mods or towards the bottom of your mod order for best results**



NOTES

Heater repair and Lightbar Repair and Salvage will come eventually to this mod. It requires a different method of coding compared to the regular vehicle repairs and unfortunately I just haven't had the time to incorporate it.

For now I suggest the "Easy Heater Repair" and "Easy Lightbar Repair" mods. (B41)

The B42 version now has updated versions of Easy Heater Repair and Easy Lightbar Repair integrated into it. Credit to PipMagnet for the original mods. If they return and want them removed, I will do so. - SP4RTAN

Note for server admins

Due to the (sometimes) high frequency of updates to this mod, modpacking is allowed so that server admins can apply updates as needed and reduce server downtime.

All that we ask is that you credit us somewhere.

Is it still the case that bushes damage cars, like they do when they collide with trees or other cars? I remember them causing severe damage to my car when I drive over them.

Is this mod potentially the reason I can't repair some vehicles? It seems random, some vehicles I can repair the engine, some I can't. It works with some modded vehicles, and only some vanilla vehicles. I do have a lot of mods, so the problem could be on my end.

Can you tell me is it possible to change anything in mod files so that "potentially repairs" always stay at 100%?

Alright I added a sandbox option to disable the engine rebuild feature. I'll push the update either Tuesday or Thursday.
SP4RTAN  [author] 18 Aug @ 7:01pm 
I'll add an option when I have some time
Rachel L 18 Aug @ 6:59pm 
Any chance of giving us a option to disable the restore engine quality in favor of another mod that does that?
SP4RTAN  [author] 17 Aug @ 1:25pm 
I'll see about adding a way to repair the radios

@gKimz @Zorboo I'm fairly certain the Steamworks API issue has been resolved. Make sure your server is up-to-date, as Steam/SteamCMD should automatically update the DLLs now for B41. If you're renting a gameserver that you can't update yourself then contact your host's support.

@SP4RTAN Would it be possible to get a feature to repair vehicle radios? Or is that already supposed to be a thing? I'm honestly considering making my own mod to add that, so if you don't have the time then no sweat.

I had the same update issue with other mods, and the tip below about updating SteamDB .dlls didn't work for me. I had to remove the mod from the server. If anyone knows how to fix it, I'd appreciate a tip.
