Alpha 15 Small Engine

[Skull]

Did the way of getting a small engine change? I've broken down about 50 cars with a wrench and haven't gotten one . I made sure to always have inventory space, etc. I'm wondering if its bad luck or is there some other way to get them now. Normally I would have gotten at least a couple out of that many cars.

It's a question of luck. I searched also long for one and than found 2... There is a possibility for cars.

You get engines from wrenching stage 2 cars (the ones you can loot, but don't have all the 'panels' on intact) Afaik, your skills and the quality of your wrench will affect the 'luck' of getting one.

[Torriador]

The higher your player level and scavenging skill, the better chance you will find a engine, be it a car or a working stiff's crate, etc..

my personal preference is to avoid breaking down cars untl I'm at least 40-50 in scavenging (unless I'm in desperate need of basic resources)
It seems that after I've hit that milestone, I usually get at least 1 rare item from breaking down cars, and every 10 - 20 cars I'll find an engine (of varying quality).

Hmmm, recently I had a green quality wrench and broke Down a few cars to find that 2 gave batteries, 5 gave engines, and 3 gave radiators. Kinda weird but none were of good quality, eh still good for a concrete mixer.

[Marstil]

It is a bit random, I get an engine about every dozen cars or so...some are crap.

[TrompeL'Oeil]

Oh my, don't mean to rub it in but I just got a small engine on my first car. It's just sitting in my inventory because I can't do anything with it at the moment.

do you have proof that level and wrench quality effects chance? because i think you're talking out your a**

Please don't pull things out your a**; it lowers the communities intelligence. https://youtu.be/IAuEuIQCSwU

In all my hours I have found that RED cars give the most chance of engines. Wrench quality seems to have no benefits either. Now that`s cars. A working stiff crate can also produce a small engine, but is a rare drop. Good luck.

The .xml shows that you have a .25% chance to get an engine from the damaged cars of any color. It's all luck, crates have a lower chance but benifit from your scavenging skills.

I've always felt that higher quality wrenches yeld more motors and batterys from cars, in my current play through I only started getting them once I got a wrench that was over 100 quality. It could be luck but the quality of wrench does have a affect on the other stuff you get like gas, metal etc so it stands to reason.

i hope we will be able to some how make them in A16, because with the generators coming out, servers are going to have like zero cars very fast.

you should not make a video that has a modded game for items. you even stated in your video that you modified it to give you engines.

Completely false. Player level, scavenging and quality Joe only effect numerical QUALITY of found engine.

It has no impact on odds to find it.
