Auto Mechanics

Auto Mechanics, the real one, not the AI copies.

So you are here ? Ah.. you wanna play with cars but you lack experience. You've come to the right place.

How to ?

• Get a Screwdriver, a Wrench, a Lug Wrench and a Jack.
• Ensure you've read the book associated with your car.
• Find a car you can spare, and just start training with serenity.
• On vehicle mechanics menu, right click any mounted part and left click on Train Mechanics button.

Other Actions

• You can continue a previously interrupted training.
• You can uninstall all parts in one click.
• You can inflate all tires in one click.

Mod Options

• You can set a waiting timer between mechanical actions. This is usefull on Host and Dedicated Server.
• You can select a threshold for uninstall attempts depending on risks of breaking the part. It is 100 (unrestricted) by default.
• You can use or not a pause at the end of all actions (e.g. when using time speed increase for a full training).
• You can re-try vanilla Uninstall and Install actions until they succeed.
• Verbose options are logs that reduce (a lot) performances: only for debug analysis.

Sandbox Options

• You can enforce the failure threshold server side in multiplayer.
• The lowest (most restricting) value between the client value (mod option) and the server value (sandbox option) is used.
• It is 100 (unrestricted) by default.

Tips and Tricks

• Any mod with invalid fixing recipe will induce errors when right clicking on some vehicle parts. "attempted index: isEmpty of non-table: null" ISVehicleMechanics.lua:224.
• This mod is for version B42 and further versions.
• This mod is NOT compatible with version B41 and previous versions.
• Remember there is no need to train more than once a day (per car).
• You can increase game speed.
• The training can reach a stall due to pathfinding. Keep a lot of free space around the car to avoid this.
• Broken items will be dumped. (items you uninstalled and cannot reinstall will not be. e.g. a tire will not be reinstalled nor dropped if the suspension is broken and dropped)
• Make sure to disable re-equipment before "Train Mechanics" if you're using the Tidy Up Meister mod.
• This mod can be added to or removed from any save.
• You can enforce clients wait cycles from sandbox options with this other mod.
• Project Zomboid gives much freedom to players and modders, but there are tricky stuff I will not explain a thousand times in the comments below.

If you still have questions or problem reports, ask on Official PZ Discord: mod_support channel.

Credits

• Uninstall all integrated from Deadly_Shadow's "hack".
• Continue Train Mechanics, Inflate All Tires & a bunch of corrections by TwistOnFire.

On Lockdown This mod cannot be modified by anyone else, for anything else, at all, ever. Even if the user disappears, he or she would much rather you didn't touch the fruits of their hard labour.

If you wanna support kind words are very welcome. If you don't have any, you can still give constructive criticism.

That's it.

Why are you still here ? There is nothing more for you here. Get lost ! .. let me remember my first student, sweet Kaylee..
