Description
Adds changes to cars that makes them more accessible in multiplayer.

NEW:
Adds variability in engine disassembly and reassembly depending on mechanics level!
When disassembling there is a 20% minimum for each spare engine part, and at higher mechanics level you can get down to 5% condition per engine part!
When repairing there is a 2% minimum per spare engine part, and at higher mechanics level you can get up to 6% per engine part.

Recipes:
Spare Engine Parts:
- 2 Aluminum
- 1 Small Metal Sheet
- Propane Torch 8/100
Player must have Mechanics level 4 and Metalworking level 4 to use this recipe.
Player must read "The Metalworking Magazine Vol. 4" to learn this recipe.

Notes:
I wanted to add a bit of randomization to disassembling and repairing engines. I felt this would offer the most balance since it is also dependent on your mechanics level. Special thanks to Rome's Efficient Repair, which wasn't multiplayer capable, as the mod gave me the idea to make some sort of system like this. I felt Rome's Efficient Repair was a little too overpowered, so I dialed it back a bit while also offering the same kind of compromise. This mod is also entirely multiplayer capable, as that's my main focus.

So far in my multiplayer experience everyone keeps taking the engine parts from random cars. The "changes" this mod will attempt to incorporate aims to fix this poblem.
Specifically for Spare Engine Parts, developers had designated a "MetalValue" of 30 for spare engine parts. Aluminum has a value of 5, Small Sheet Metal has a value of 20, hence why it takes 2 Aluminum and 1 Small Metal Sheet.

Can you upload a separate ID without the engine parts recipe? For those like me that want to use https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2744114761

Hi, great mod, I really like the slight buff and the recipe. But I'm not sure I like how this mod does not take the engine level into account. I'd love to see (sandbox) options where higher engine levels require slightly more engine parts to repair or give less parts - as they do in vanilla.
Do you have a github where one could contribute? Thanks for your work!

Well after the last update this mod is working perfectly for me. The randomness and the fact that your mechanic skills afects how much you get from disassembling and reassembling an engine is really good and really balanced. Congrats Beemer, awesome mod. Also tested in a dedicated multiplayer server and its running smooth.

Has since been fixed. No longer breaks everything!

BROKEN MOD, prevents you from sawing logs, getting nails out of boxes and possibly many other actions.
