How does the shopping list work?

[Steffen]

i have been playing this game since september 2018, but i never used the shopping list :(.
how does it work and how do you use it? (sorry if this is a stupid question )

[Hex: Stoner]

you search for the exact part you need like if i need a v8 ohv part id go and type in engine v8 ohv. Bodyshop is for the outer car,parts shop, etc you buy parts for your car that u either cant reapir the old one or the item is missing in the car.

When you are working on the car, right click, then select (left click) 'Parts Notes' to open the shopping list. Then with it still open, left click on any part you wish to add to it. (Or click the '-' to remove parts).

Then when you are in the online store click on the little vertical orange tab at the top right of the screen to open the shopping list. All that does is show you everything you added to the list so you can buy them all without exiting the computer to check your inventory or run back and forth from the car.

I don't use it. I find it frustratingly clumsy at adding or removing the part I want from the list. Plus I just find it faster to sort the inventory and online store by part name then scroll through each alternately to buy up what I need. You do have to alternate between the computer and the inventory that way, but buying several part types and quantities at a time I still find it faster than fiddling with the shopping list. I think the shopping list is a feature that was tacked on after the fact, as an easy means to provide something in response to complaints about the tedium of part buying.

I find the shopping list quite useful when I am restoring entire vehicles (lots of parts to buy). The only bad thing about it is you can't remove individual items from it. You have to clear the whole list if you need to delete something.

It would be far easier if you could just click on items on your car info list that need replacement and this would transfer them to the shopping list.

Well once you have all parts in your inventory, you can click right mouse bouton to add items on your list.

Yeah but you usually have bunch of other stuff in your inventory as well, things you had before and things you had to remove to get the parts that need changeing etc. Easy to make a mistake that way.

Before each new car I put all my stuff into the warehouse, so in my inventory I only have the stuff of the car I'm working on. No risk of any mistake.

Unfortunately specific items can't be removed from the list, you can only delete the entire list. The list gets also deleted automatically, whenever you leave the shop or reload the game.
