Location for electrical parts

[c_none]

I've more or less everything else in abundance but I'm terribly starving for electric parts. I traded a bunch in the beginning of the game since you don't need them much for the first 10-15 days, and in my first play through I seemed to encounter them pretty often.
Now I've been sitting on only 6 for more than a week, the trader nor the shops in the square seem to have any. My upgrades are getting postponed big time.

Honestly I would consider restarting after something like that, electric parts should never ever be sold. Unless you're stealing you will be pretty crippled. Never found any zones with more than a few electric parts each.

Oh my gosh. So you're saying no trader will ever have them in their storage, right?

I can't recall seeing any at traders with them, no. Maybe there's one or two somewhere but it's basically the most limiting resource to mid-late progress once you get food sorted and enough goods to trade.

Thios was my mistake too. Electrical parts are rare as ♥♥♥♥ in this game and yes, week1 you're like 'bah, its only electrical parts', week 3 you are ready to murder people for them.
rarer than food imo. I would also restart, there will be no electrical parts 'secret cache' you'll be discovering. I saved each piece I found from day 1 and still dont have enough for my last upgrade on the herb station.

electric parts should be never sold, as you wont be able to buy any from a vendor.

But..

From the other hand - its also pointless to upgrade everything you can just for crafting. You will find out, that to maintain full-time crafting ciggaretes and alcohol same time you will struggle with materials. Whats more, you will also find out, that war is near end, and you are fully topped up with supplies you need to survive and there is no point for that :P

All you need to win is producing pure alcohol and veg. No need anything else.

I completely agree with all you've said. I appreciate the others' help, I know their heart is in the right place=) But restarting is completely an overkill. Besides as Franco mentioned, on my last visit to the garage, Matey had 2 electric parts. Guess I'll be doing more visits there.

Only Garage will sell those electrical part. Otherwise, don't ever sell or lose it. It is the most rare item in this game. I have a lot of game that i only have enough electrical part just to upgrade everything.

And the Garage is not guaranteed, just like the market etc.
