Look down a few posts...
PeterHammerman 23 Dec, 2024 @ 2:57pm 
thx for reply, so waiting patiently, keep up good work! :)
Btw any chances to second option for salvaging (longer time with new metal cutters, wrenches etc)?
Jakor  [author] 23 Dec, 2024 @ 2:16pm 
Update in progress, but b42 has massive changes, so it will take some time to get it working again.
PeterHammerman 23 Dec, 2024 @ 9:55am 
Any chances to update to b42? Or permission to reupload or add to modpack with proper credits?

thats a really good mod cuz now i can finally remove those cars from the road but is it possible to lower the salvaging volume and increase the amount of metal scrap, metal pipe AND wires gained cuz it makes no sense how an entire truck could just give 4-9 metal pipes or at least add a sandbox option to be more optimizable i really love this mod dont get me wrong but it could be way better if u made these changes and sorry if i am asking for too much

does it give metalwork skill or mechanics skill?
Ramen 9 Sep, 2024 @ 11:15am 
+1 for adding the ability to use a hack saw. Requiring a lot of energy to be used when using the hacksaw option would be a good balance. it definitely not fun cutting metal with a hacksaw
CalibratedFall7 7 Sep, 2024 @ 6:44am 
adding the ability to use a hack saw would be awesome for those doing 10 year later runs or ones with waaaay less resources.. i personally would love to use it in some runs esp like full ruined world runs
Jakor  [author] 27 Aug, 2024 @ 4:42pm 
Yes, Several years after I made this the developers added the ability to salvage wrecks. But this mod allows you to break down non wrecks, wrecks and burned vehicles. Currently you use a torch but I am considering adding the ability to use a hack saw as well.
Raflk 27 Aug, 2024 @ 4:17pm 
Lol, isn't there already a salvage vehicle mechanic?
Jakor  [author] 11 Jul, 2024 @ 8:13am 
If you check the update history, you would see that on Dec 28, 2021, I reduced the volume to 25% of the original volume. It made no difference as something in the audio code of the game seems to amplify it for some reason. Never found a work around for it.

Point of fact, the sounds were recorded of me using an actual oxygen-acetylene torch, so the volume level as recorded is real.
ARAM Techno 11 Jul, 2024 @ 6:29am 
Insane that you'll complain about a small percentage of people giving it a rating when people have been consistently asking to have the volume of the blowtorch audio reduced.
Swarf 11 Jun, 2024 @ 5:31am 
@UlfLord

Nope
SoberSnacks 30 May, 2024 @ 3:27pm 
Has the ear-rape blowtorch sound been removed yet?
ECPU_Cezary 11 Apr, 2024 @ 8:09am 
hello, i use this mod for quite some time, but just recently found bug, when using some sort of blowtorch mod that provide more units on it, no matter how much units there is, blowtorch uses whole load
Dzejkop 28 Mar, 2024 @ 7:08am 
@jakor plz tell me whats the name of that mod with adds skill point
Zomboid PG 25 Mar, 2024 @ 12:28pm 
Is it intended that claimed vehicles can be salvaged?
Jakor  [author] 22 Mar, 2024 @ 4:52am 
In 5 and a half years on the workshop, this mod has had a peak of 256,000 subscribers. In all that time only 843 have bothered to give it a rating.

That being said, I do still plan to update at least one more time (Including sound), but I have to wait for the new version as it is changing the skill system (which this mod uses).
pazartesi_gorusuruz 14 Mar, 2024 @ 11:29pm 
Hey just wanna chime in with the rest about the salvaging sound is extremely loud and sounds broken too, I was done salvaging the vehicle but the sound continued for like 10 more seconds or so
Qaliber 27 Feb, 2024 @ 2:35pm 
the loud sound helps to keep me awake, thanks
UnitedStatesOfSmash! 18 Feb, 2024 @ 4:50pm 
fix ur sound
Fet Rush 31 Dec, 2023 @ 5:06am 
hi this mod is not working with CarWanna
Meyar 28 Dec, 2023 @ 7:02am 
Yeah holy crap, l o u d
Cardinal_Z 7 Nov, 2023 @ 1:08pm 
Hi! Is is possible to add an option for setting the volume of the SFX? The sound for propane torch when salvaging seems extremely loud...
nIKNAKNUIE 5 Nov, 2023 @ 2:07am 
Based mod.
Doomstrike53 10 Sep, 2023 @ 3:30pm 
Did some testing and it seems you don't get any xp bonuses from read books. Choosing the vanilla "Dismantle Car Wreck" gives almost 13 xp after reading metalworking vol. 1 with no traits, but choosing this mod's "Salvage Vehicle" option only yields 2.25 xp. Salvaging usable vehicles can yield anywhere between 7-13 xp in my testing with or without the book. So unless this mod updates to account for books I would suggest leveling metalworking the vanilla way and saving usable cars for higher levels
Jakor  [author] 4 Sep, 2023 @ 10:44pm 
AFAIK it still works with modded vehicles
TheTimTimJr 4 Sep, 2023 @ 12:13pm 
does it work with modded in cars?
Trucido 26 Aug, 2023 @ 2:12pm 
it does, thanks ! :)
Jakor  [author] 21 Aug, 2023 @ 8:06pm 
yes, it should
Trucido 18 Aug, 2023 @ 2:03pm 
Does this mod work on already started runs?
william.johansson 18 Jun, 2023 @ 2:08am 
it makes it unlimited
Jakor  [author] 16 Jun, 2023 @ 8:46am 
I get it. I usually carry several tanks with me when clearing pileups from the roads to lessen the back and forth. I wonder if there is a capacity mod to make the torch hold more.
william.johansson 16 Jun, 2023 @ 4:20am 
thxs but the reason i have infinet protain mod is so that i dont spent hours just going back and forwerd to the nerest fuelpumps and my base o make scrap armor
Jakor  [author] 15 Jun, 2023 @ 3:05pm 
I am working on an addition to this mod that would in fact use no propane, but for different reasons. No offense, but infinite propane seems rather cheesy, I would suggest that you use a mod that increases propane tanks or allows refill at gas stations. (both are out there).
william.johansson 15 Jun, 2023 @ 7:46am 
can you make a version that takes no propain torhc fuel becuse i have a mod that adds infinet fuel for torches but it dosent work with this mod still a good mod
Dr. Death 13 May, 2023 @ 9:15am 
Really, i still want to thank you. Im tired of seeing so many cars in the road that i cant drive that just clog the road that i'd like to see away without cheats.
Jakor  [author] 13 May, 2023 @ 8:53am 
@Dr.Death Yes it does both wrecks and non wrecks and it predates vanilla salvage, I created this mod about 5 years ago. I am considering adding the ability to salvage using a saw.
Dr. Death 13 May, 2023 @ 8:38am 
Just to be clear, as opposed to vanilla removal of wrecks, what this mod does is let you dismantle cars that are not wrecks that you wont be using, right?
Jakor  [author] 20 Apr, 2023 @ 11:32pm 
Just tested on a dedicated server for 12 hours without restart. Only issue found was context menu not showing if multiple torches in inventory and at least one is empty.
Ominous187 7 Apr, 2023 @ 6:55am 
i was able to do this before without a mod but now I cannot dismantle wrecked cars for some reason. when I right click nothing comes up as it would on a sink and such
Professor_GLTTV 6 Mar, 2023 @ 10:52am 
assuming this mod works now and in MP
Jakor  [author] 8 Feb, 2023 @ 3:10am 
@kaollle , if you get an error message, please post in the bug reports discussion. Thanks.
kaolllez 7 Feb, 2023 @ 6:20pm 
mod works fine but only issue is once in a while salvaging it crash's the game with a random error that pops up
Ultragrave 7 Feb, 2023 @ 6:59am 
@jakor thanks for updating!!!
Jakor  [author] 6 Feb, 2023 @ 7:43am 
It gets broken almost every update and I have not had time to fix it.
Ultragrave 6 Feb, 2023 @ 5:58am 
I can't seem to get this mod to work. I have a meeting server and even made sure to put this mod first to load. Any siggestions?
MAG 28 Jan, 2023 @ 8:23am 
Seems propane torches use 10/21 10/18 have like 3 torches can't salvage anymore.
