Adds many more repair options for Hoods, Trunks, Seats, Doors, Gas Tanks, Lights, Windshields, Windows, Tires, Brakes, Suspension, Glove box, Roof Racks, Trailers, Cargo Containers, Armoured Parts & other Vehicle Accessories or Salvage the whole vehicle too removing it from your path!

New Items included

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.

@Lobster Dog even if you don't have high enough skills the "Salvage Vehicle" option should still appear but should be red. Are you on a server or singleplayer?

Thank you Spartan. Once I have the appropriate skills with the salvage vehicle option show up? Right now I have wash vehicle only when I right click. All of the repair portions of the mod are amazing. Thank you for making it.

@Lobster Dog If you're on B41 you only need VehicleRepairOverhaul

When implementing this mod do I need to put in the mod twice into the .ini? I implemented the repair portion and that works but I was confused as to whether I needed to put the workshop ID in twice.

I just started up a server on B41 and everything seems to be working fine. Like I've said before nothing in the B41 version has been changed except for the lists of vehicle parts
SP4RTAN  [author] 7 Jun @ 5:08pm 
I'll go back to B41 and double check this

Hi, we're trying hard to get this mod running on version 41. We've used it before, but this time we can't get it to work properly. We don't see any options from the mod in the game (neither repair nor salvage). As mentioned in the pinned discussion, the relevant entry doesn't appear in servertest_SandboxVars.lua. The server is hosted on Nitrado. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on what else we could try?

@wildwyat8933 Technically you never should have been able to uninstall them. Especially the trunks. I'll look into this.

As of the latest update, and the one before it,

I am unable to uninstall vehicle trunks and glove boxes.

The option to salvage them is still in the crafting menu, but there is no way to take them off of parts.

UPDATE 46...

Salvaging wooden vehicle parts now requires carpentry level 2

Fixed typo in heater repair tooltip (B42)
Fixed tire salvaging drop chances being affected by tailoring skill instead of welding (B42)
Removed an outdated file that would cause an error during part salvaging if Vehicle Salvage Overhaul was loaded before Vehicle Repair Overhaul (B42)
