Harder Hotwire

This mod is mostly useful for multiplayer when cars are enabled.
Current vanilla skill level requirements of 1 Electrical and 2 Mechanics can be gained with perks from the very start, so many newcomers to servers can hotwire and take others' cars without significant effort.
As a bonus the mod has an ability to revert damage done to the cars and even craft a key if your skills are high enough.

Compatibility:
Project Zomboid: 40.43, 41.37 (and maybe more recent)
Other mods: mods that overwrite ISVehicleMenu.showRadialMenu will be incompatible.

• Metalworking: 1;
  
• Electrical: 4;
  
• Mechanics: 6;
  
• Time: 200.

Metalworking is now required in addition to upped Electrical and Mechanics levels as a person should be able to at least know his way with metal to open ignition in most cases.

• Metalworking: 4;
  
• Electrical: 6;
  
• Mechanics: 8;
  
• Time: 900.

Increased requirements. You should not only be able to revert the damage done to electrical circuits, but also put the lock back in place and weld it all together.

• Metalworking: 8;
  
• Electrical: 10;
  
• Mechanics: 10;
  
• Time: 2100.

Overkill? Maybe. But consider that each player now can craft keys if they pass the checks and even become a key dealer on the server - a feature that only administrator could do previously.
