Dismantle Any Car

Unlock the Scrapyard Potential of Any Vehicle in Project Zomboid

Tired of surveying the vast landscape of Project Zomboid’s world, only to be frustrated by the inability to salvage usable materials from intact vehicles? This mod introduces a groundbreaking new feature that allows you to break down any car, not just those already in a state of disrepair, into valuable scrap.

Transforming Intact Vehicles

Previously, your welding torch was limited to the grim remains of wrecked or burnt-out vehicles. This mod shatters that limitation. Now, you can right-click on any non-wrecked, non-burnt car and select the “Dismantle Car” option. This opens up a wealth of resources previously locked away, allowing you to convert the metal, rubber, and other components of functional vehicles into useful materials for crafting and survival.

Customization Through Sandbox Options

This mod goes beyond simply enabling dismantling. It offers robust sandbox options that put you in control:

• Fuel Consumption: Adjust the amount of fuel required to break down a vehicle.
• Material Yield: Fine-tune the quantity of scrap materials you receive from each dismantled car.
• Welding Safety: For the truly brave or resource-conscious, choose to forgo the welding mask and rely on “Kentucky safety squints.”

Salvaging and Storage

When you choose to dismantle a car, any items stored within its trunk or interior will be dropped onto the ground alongside the resulting scrap metal. This ensures that valuable loot isn’t lost in the process. If you wish to preserve specific car parts, such as the engine or tires, be sure to remove them manually before initiating the dismantling process.

Impact on Existing Saves

The “Dismantle Any Car” mod is designed to be safe for use with existing save files. If you decide to modify the sandbox settings after starting a game, simply quit and restart Project Zomboid for the changes to take effect. This flexibility ensures you can integrate the mod seamlessly into your ongoing survival experience. Prepare to see the automotive landscape of Project Zomboid in a whole new, resource-rich light.
