If you're still playing the stable I don't think that it does yet.

[Adragis]

Oh, welp

Question: Without any points in mechanics and no skill book...how the heck to do train this skill now? You used to be able to get up to at least 1 by dismantling cars, but removing parts now requires at least a 1 or 2 in Mechanics already.

[Sindain]

Soldering stuff should work.

[Aseaheru]

I think theres lockpicking and a few recipes you can do with no skill that give skill, but it will be a grind fest.

...I feel like there should be a way to salvage a car for steel that isn't just beating the piss out of it until it yields to your desire.

Like, gray, broken parts take 0 skill to remove because it's literally just tearing the metal off the car because you're not trying to preserve its function.

i wonder if someone is already on this yet

[Gentlefish]

I would be, if I had any idea where to start

I've poked at the code and it is not the most well-documented thing.

So... is the ability to craft regular gunpowder gone from the game? It's not in any of the books that should have it... or anywhere I can find in the recipe .jsons.

[i2amroy]

IIRC it was removed because in real life trying to make your own gunpowder is either extremely complicated (for more modern stuff) or carries a very high risk of blowing yourself to kingdom come (for the older varieties). As such it was removed because we couldn't get the "very likely to kill yourself" balancing factor into play I believe.

I think one of the mods has readded it though, and it's not exactly that complex of a recipe if you just want to drop it into your own JSON files.

You can easily get mechanics to one by prying open locked doors or lidded crates with crowbars. Note that you need a skill level of two to dismantle vehicle parts.

Uh huh. How does it compare in real life to making cybernetic enhancements using components you ripped out of goo zombies? Brewing mutagen from sewage? Installing fusion reactors? Harder than those?

Yeah, I'll re-add it. Just had to snark at the idea. Thanks for the reply.

One needs level 2 mechanics, a wrench and a metal-cutting tool to remove a seatbelt from a car. Doesn't really make sense.

Also, getting ahold of plastic chunks and a soldering iron, and repeatedly trying to reinforce various plastic objects and clothes you got on you. Trains mechanics iirc.

[Akura]

I thought that was fabrication.
