What Is This?

This mod adds a craftable vehicle toolbench storage item to the game.

Recipe:

Use 60 Nails on 5 Sheet Metal to craft the kit. Use a screwdriver to de-craft the workbench back into a kit.

Storage:

50 slots 1 tire iron 1 tire repair kit 1 gasoline canister 1 car radiator 1 car battery 1 truck battery 1 sledgehammer 2 spark plugs 1 glow plug 6 rags 1 pliers 1 screwdriver 1 wrench 2 spraypaint

Installation Instructions:

Note: ZenModCore is a dependency - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3702420204

Install this mod like any other mod - copy it into your server folder and add it to your mods list. Make sure to copy the .bikey into your server keys if you're not using a server management tool like OmegaManager which does that automatically.

Make sure to merge the types.xml into your server types and adjust the item's lifetime, or the items will despawn on server restart and/or if no players are around. The types.xml file is in the mod folder and listed below.

This mod must be installed on both the server & client.

Repack & Source Code:

Unfortunately due to lack of time I can't maintain all of my mods all of the time. I do my best, but these mods are offered as-is. If there's a problem, you have the source code and my permission to fix it yourself and upload a fixed version to the workshop without any credit necessary. It's all free.

You can repack this mod if you like, and do anything else you want with it for that matter. The source code is on my GitHub at www.zenarchist.com

Buy Me A Coffee / Contact Me:

All my mods are free and open source, but it takes an enormous amount of time to put some of these mods together. If I've helped you out, please consider helping me buy my next coffee! I don't expect it, but I very much appreciate it.

To contact me you can send me a message there too - I get an insane amount of messages so it's the best way for me to filter out the noise and focus on people who are willing to support my work with a coffee first:
