Mod «Auto Mechanics» for Project Zomboid

Auto Mechanics enhances vehicle maintenance and training for Project Zomboid Build 42 and later. It is not compatible with Build 41 or earlier versions.

How to Train:

• Obtain a Screwdriver, Wrench, Lug Wrench, and Jack
• Read the manual associated with the specific car model
• Access the vehicle mechanics menu, right-click any mounted part, and select «Train Mechanics»
• Ensure sufficient free space around the vehicle to avoid pathfinding stalls
• Note: Training more than once per day per car yields no additional benefits

Features:

• Continue previously interrupted training sessions
• Uninstall all parts with a single click
• Inflate all tires with a single click
• Broken items are automatically dropped upon uninstallation

Mod Options:

• Set a waiting timer between mechanical actions to accommodate high-latency multiplayer servers
• Configure a threshold for uninstall attempts based on the risk of breaking parts (default: 100/unrestricted)
• Toggle pause at the end of actions
• Enable retry logic for vanilla Uninstall and Install actions until success
• Verbose logging options available for debug analysis only (may reduce performance)

Sandbox Options:

• Enforce failure threshold server-side in multiplayer
• The system uses the lowest (most restrictive) value between client mod options and server sandbox options

Tips and Compatibility:

• Incompatible with mods containing invalid fixing recipes (may cause errors in ISVehicleMechanics.lua)
• Disable re-equipment before using «Train Mechanics» if using the Tidy Up Meister mod
• Can be safely added to or removed from existing saves
• Client wait cycles can be enforced via sandbox options using compatible third-party mods
