Standardized Vehicle Upgrades 2 (OLD)

Enhance Your Project Zomboid Vehicles with Standardized Upgrades

Survive the apocalypse in Project Zomboid with a focus on your most crucial transportation. This mod, “Standardized Vehicle Upgrades 2 (OLD)”, aims to overhaul and standardize the armor and upgrade systems for a vast array of vehicles within the game. While this specific version is no longer receiving updates, it laid the groundwork for robust vehicle customization that players can still benefit from.

Comprehensive Vehicle Coverage

This mod doesn’t just stop at the default vehicles. It extends its reach to include armor and upgrade possibilities for popular additions such as the Fili’s vehicle packs and the Petyarbuilt379, ensuring a consistent upgrade experience across your favorite rides. It’s important to note that you should only enable submods for vehicle packs you actually have installed to avoid conflicts.

Crafting Your Upgrades

Gaining access to these powerful upgrades is integrated into the game’s survival mechanics. Scattered throughout the world, you’ll find specialized magazines. Reading these is key to unlocking the crafting recipes needed to enhance your vehicles. Different magazines cater to different vehicle types:

• “Magazine «Autotsar Tuning Atelier – Standard Models»” for vanilla vehicle upgrades.
• “Magazine «Autotsar Tuning Atelier – Advanced Models»” for Fili’s vehicle enhancements.
• “Magazine «Autotsar Tuning Atelier – Petyarbuilt 379»” for the Petyarbuilt379.

Be aware that some of the more advanced crafting recipes might also require you to have previously read specific vanilla vehicle repair magazines (auto manuals).

Integration with Existing Saves

If you’re looking to add these upgrades to an ongoing Project Zomboid save, you’ll want to enable the “Zombie Items” submod. This clever integration ensures that some of the necessary crafting magazines can rarely be found as loot on specific types of zombies, including those with backgrounds in mechanics, metalworking, construction, or those who were part of militia, raider, or survivor groups.
