Back after a long break - what's new?

[Garrus]

Trying to figure out this new version, had a couple questions:

1. Can you no longer destroy cars for parts?
2. Is there any way to get metal a bit easier than just running around picking up scrap in that case?
3. Are engines still randomly found? Been walking around for 10 days and still can't find one.
4. What all does loots refresh affect?
5. Any other information I should know? I haven't played since the last map. Not sure when that switched over.

Hey Garrus

1. You can destroy cars that can be looted (currently no destruction bar visible, but parts of the car gradually fall off)
2. Yes with the above method.
3. No, but you will find several engines at fixed positions on the map, eg at the gas station in the community.
4. It replaces all loot spawns outside of your line of sight, but be careful - if you use the command more often, it can currently lead to massive lag spikes.
5. Surely a few things will be new for you but you can explore them yourself, except for the Seekers (zombies with tentacles/claws on their faces) they need several shots of a strong weapon, which is why you should avoid them at the beginning.

Engines can be found by destroying cars mentioned above. Along with batteries. Havent seen spark plugs yet though. Not sure if those cars respawn so be careful.
