car respawn?
Is they going to be a respawn for cars? I mean at some point you don't have a chance to get batterys and small engines. Are they doing something for that? I havent found something google.

if you scrap a car completely, it is destroyed for good just like any other object. If you scrap the car to even stage 2, it'll destroy the "container" and never respawn.

You don't, aside from the exceedingly rare event that they show up on a trader for sale, once you've used them all up: they are gone

It's like asking what happens if you use up all the nitrate on the map, well: you won't be making bullets anymore

Unless it's something you can grow, resources are finite

And you can't grow engines or batteries

If you have done that you should have more than enough materials for it to be of no concern.

You can mine nitrate after all nodes are gone. Look for gravel dots on terrain and mine it. Then you will see 1 of 4 possible drops - iron nitrate coal and lead. Mine down that line and you found underground nitrate..

And that nitrate does not regrow, I'm not sure what you are calling a node but I wasn't talking about surface nitrate, but the total nitrate in the world above and below

if you use up all the nitrate on the map, it's gone

Now if you are playing single player that's likely going to be a long time. But I've been on servers with 500+ people and 3000+ days, you know pretty quickly which resources are actually rare

#1 is brass. Everything else in rarity gets valued against brass

This mod will have respawning cars when released in a few days

Look in cardboard boxes and make sure whenever you see a non-interactable crate you break it open because those respawn. And inside those crates you can find anything from couches and toilets to specialized loot containers with books, car parts, weapons or just about anything. And even if its a toilet or a sink you can still use a wrench to disassemble it and get pipes, metal, mechanical parts, etc.

The vertical dungeons are great sources for higher tier loot.

No, they do not respawn

If what's inside happens to be a cardboard box, then that box is a loot container that respawns like loot containers

But the crate you broke open with random whatever, does not respawn

Vanilla there is no block that respawn !

You cant respawn a Block from thin air (except you use a Block without model)
Means every Respawning block would need a "Placeholder" block. And in Vanilla there are no such blocks

I derped on that part for sure. But yeah, a lot of times you'll get a cardboard box that can spawn car parts and if you leave it then it becomes a good loot source.
Don't completely break the cars down, leave them low so they can still respawn loot, but you can break down the "Frames" and still obtain some goodies since those don't spawn loot at all.

I believe that there is a small chance to get a trader quest that will reset one of the car lots or dealerships
