How to Use Cars? How to Use Furniture?
ive only played a few games and survived a day or two at most. But I can never manage to do anything with a car other than smash windows or check the mechanics?

How does one interact with a car in order to enter it and possibly drive it?

Also how do you interact with furniture? I was trying to sleep in a bed or sit at a table and all I can do is sit on floor.

For a game thats been being made for 10 years you'd think these things would be more obvious to a new player...

You can access all vehicle options by standing next to a vehicle and pressing "V".
You can access furniture/object options by clicking on the "Shelf Button" below the crafting button in the top left corner of your screen to allow you to rotate or pick up objects and furniture.
Some objects can be picked up normally, some require specific carpentry/metalworking/electricity levels and/or tools.
Some objects you pick up might turn into "parts" and cannot be placed elsewhere unless all parts are in your inventory/on the ground in your vicinity
To interact with an object , right click on it and select "Sleep", "Rest", "Drink" etc.

u enter cars by going to the door and hitting e, u have a chance to having the key in the car or near it. u cant sit or lay on furniture only sleep by right clicking in the object sometimes its hard to click it but move around and youll find the spot

I love that the game does not take you by the hand. Honestly,the mechanics you mention are pretty straight forward,I can't understand how you have an issue with those.

E or right click is everything bossman. You're making it way harder than it has to be

yeah i right click a car and it gives me the option to check the mechanics, even after i press smash window i still had no option to enter the vehicle.

Also, I never got a prompt to lay down right clicking on beds. Im not making it harder, this game is designed like 2005 MMO, with all the small icons and buttons in weird places.

beds and chairs are 2d. your character is 3d. you can't lie on a bed in game now. later you might be able to use them proper, but only after the 2d art is made 3d and inserted into game.
