Carwash doesnt add value but makes car shiny so.. why not
Can't repair anything on red (below 15%), or specific fragile parts like bushings, glass, headlights
Scrapping is pretty mush useless.. unless using to get more tuning % from tuning parts
Brake station works great
Interior detailing does (because it improves interior condition)
Washing doesnt improve any percentage.. so doesnt add value
edit: same as painting. doesnt add % neither
as example the wheels. they dont count. will be fixed next version a dev wrote.
align tires and light. no extra value.
something helps to fix some bugs is save and reload. now the value of your car increase a bit....
Also the warehouse management could be done better, integrate it with indications on the shopping list for example. And give us a remote inventory check to see what parts we have in there instead of us needing to remember them all or the need to run in there to check. Making us run in there to pick up the part is fine though.
the option is already here for cars and bodyparts.
if you go to the body shop the first cars you see in the top are cars stand by your garage.
why not just a symbol in the shop. maybe top left or right corner shows in storage. so i would know dont need to buy
Well most repair shops don't even have inventory, they have to call a company and have parts delivered.. As for walking to it, well it adds to the role play a bit I guess.
Well if you were going to paint a car, you would wash it first, right? If you find a car in a barn and want to restore it, you would wash it first, wouldn't you? Again, it all adds to the experience of the game. You don't HAVE to use them, you'll just be fined for not, which makes sense.
Well a lot of mechanics used to actually fix parts. A lot of good ones will still fix parts to try and save you a few bucks. Granted some stuff is just better to buy new, but it never hurts to repair. This is also in regards to the brake lathe, but sometimes you find a car that you just can't find parts for, and your only real option is to repair them. Or say you have a numbers matching car, the minute you start bolting on new stuff, you no longer have a numbers matching and the value of it tanks.
Say you have an engine that's blown, but 95% of it is still good, why would you throw the engine away. Their are a ton of companies out there that will buy a damaged engine, for example, and pull all the good parts off to resell. They end up making far more in the end. As for tuning, that seems like one of the less desirable additions to the game, but I can understand that say you buy some headers, and they make 10 horse, and then you port and polish the headers and heads and maybe get 20 horse. Every little bit counts, right?
This goes back to a few years ago, even my mechanic has a brake lathe and will generally turn my rotors to try and get any extra life he can out of them. It's not always used, but is still nice to have. I've saved quite a bit of money in game turning rotors instead of buying new ones.
All and all is a lot of this stuff needed, no, you can get by in this game perfectly fine by simply doing jobs and buying all new parts on Easy. It's a little more critical on Normal or Hard where you start with a little less money. Though I am sure if you were really good at the game you could get by on never using any of it on any difficulty, but it's in the game, so why not. Seems like they made a pretty good effort to give you a little more of the actual mechanic experience.
So use it, don't use it, it's 100% up to you and the level of realism or role play you want during your game.
For the Warehouse, I used to use it extensively in CMS18 to store parts for cars I was upgrading to clean up my inventory for adding parts to the shopping list when I started on a new section. I also had a playthrough where I was not allowed to sell any car I renovated, but still renovate them (it is fun). So all money came from jobs, so storing parts I could fix was vital.
Carwash is not great, I'd rather have to use a handheld washer and do it myself.
The repair stations are one of the most useful things in the game? Especially if money is tight and you want to, you know, repair parts to reuse them. Probably saves you 50% at least on a full renovation.
Scrapping I did at the start, but the mini game is just annoying to repeat if you have a million parts to do. So I do not bother at the moment.
The brake lathe is wonderful, being able to fix brake disks is a nice thing to have. Your brake disks need to be over 15% and it fixes them 100% of the time with no input from you.
In the end this all comes down to how you want to play the game. If you are happy to just buy all the new parts you need and sell all the old stuff, then yes all that you mention is useless to you. And that is fine, you play the game how you enjoy.
This, but a 'move all parts to warehouse' is much needed.
