2 suggestions.
For non english players, add something like stars (*\**\***\****) in name, in addition to cheap|cheapest|etc.
And please, add "incompatible with" like at (realistic distributions) versus available option.
In any case, you not need 2 or more at any time.

@NerakMC I found it. It's "CraftEngineParts.TheMachinist" without the quotations.

Make a version that requires higher skill levels?

getting a missing media error. is anyone else having this problem?
Dogemon Mar 10 @ 2:34pm 
nice mod! gonna use this in the meantime as b42.4 has broken the engine parts retrieval, making it impossible to obtain parts without finding them in auto shops

Damn, I see. Do you know where you read about this bug?
Titoxic  [author] Mar 5 @ 11:02am 
@Amroth This sounds very similar to a known bug of the game in B42. It will likely happen the same way even if you do engine repairs in B42 vanilla without the CEP mod.
Amroth Mar 5 @ 6:15am 
The way parts are consumed is totally out of whack.

- If you have 8 engine parts in your MAIN inventory, they ALL get consumed for %1 repair.
- If you have 8 engine parts in your BACKPACK, only 1 gets consumed for %8 repair. (which gets lower with each part consumed).

If you keep the parts in your main inventory, it's shit. If you keep them in your backpack, it's a powerful cheat mod.

Important: Game still crashed for me after activating the mod again. BUT unsub / sub again fixed it for me.
Titoxic  [author] Jan 26 @ 6:22am 
Good news everybody! A patch was just released. I also used the opportunity to fix a few other issues. For full details take a look at the patch notes. If you encounter more problems please let me know. And please be so kind as to use the Bug Reports discussion for that in the future. Thank you!
hoshie Jan 26 @ 3:23am 
@Titoxic: Thank you for your commitment.
Titoxic  [author] Jan 25 @ 1:55am 
Thank you all. I am planning to release a patch tomorrow.
hoshie Jan 25 @ 1:18am 
Can confirm. Game crashes on Startup
Rachel L Jan 24 @ 7:12am 
Titoxic, please check the bug reports. 42.1+ breaks with this mod
juskom95 Jan 23 @ 6:26am 
I think the 42.1 or 42.1.1 update broke this, the debug log is filled with recipe/script errors for this mod.
Welch's Grape Ghost Jan 4 @ 3:15pm 
Hell yeah!
Titoxic  [author] Jan 4 @ 1:30am 
Update for B42 just dropped alongside some other changes! Enjoy surviving and please report back any bugs you find.
RedDrake704 Jan 1 @ 11:32pm 
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
Titoxic  [author] Jan 1 @ 7:38pm 
Hello everyone! I have heard your calls. I started working on making the mod B42 compatible! Expect an update in the next few days.
RedDrake704 Dec 30, 2024 @ 7:29am 
update!
Welch's Grape Ghost Dec 22, 2024 @ 12:17pm 
Would love B42 Support!

and well after 50 attempts putting the mods first or in the middle and at the end and restarting the server 50 times it finally works so you have to put it last and restart the server several times and it should work
Truth Oct 25, 2024 @ 12:43am 
@Titoxic, I can confirm, unless the mod is placed at the top of the load order then you won't get the recipe to craft the spare engine parts.
Arduu Oct 22, 2024 @ 8:04am 
i just moved your mod on top *
Arduu Oct 22, 2024 @ 8:04am 
okey so i menage to get it work with my mod list ther is no errror and its shows on crafting menu normally, but i am wondering if its not gona break another mod if they are oversaving self. We will check that.
Arduu Oct 22, 2024 @ 7:35am 
even original dosnt work
Arduu Oct 22, 2024 @ 7:35am 
we have some additional cars mods filibuster etc, some mods from tsar armored vehicle and something else that is popular i dont remember . Your mod is loaded last
MarcO|PL Oct 22, 2024 @ 1:47am 
We only tried the version cheap.
I add recipe by craft helper to favorites, but i see only empty window
SteelRain Oct 22, 2024 @ 1:39am 
Oh weird, I restarted the server and it shows up now. It might be having slight issues if it is disappearing off the crafting menu.
SteelRain Oct 22, 2024 @ 12:59am 
I am using cheapest version and not seeing it show up in the crafting menu. I was just using this a couple days ago and worked.
Titoxic  [author] Oct 21, 2024 @ 4:11am 
@MarcO|PL Thank you for the feedback. I will look into it in the coming days. If this actually is an issue caused by CEP I am surprised nobody noticed and notified me earlier. Did you also experience this in the cheap mode?
MarcO|PL Oct 20, 2024 @ 11:06pm 
On behalf Arduu.
After reading the recipe, the recipe in is not visible in crafting.
Titoxic  [author] Oct 20, 2024 @ 3:08pm 
@Arduu I am sorry to hear that, can you specify what kind of errors you encountered? Possibly it wasn't caused by CEP alone but by a combination of mods or the like.
Arduu Oct 20, 2024 @ 11:34am 
used cheap version toons of errors, deleted
Titoxic  [author] Sep 1, 2024 @ 5:51am 
@the_penguin Hello, the easiest way to go about that is booting up the game in debug mode (there are plenty of tutorials online on how to do that) loading your savegame, and using debug mode to just spawn/cheat in the magazine.
Enclave Soldier Sep 1, 2024 @ 3:30am 
is there any way i can configure the mod so i don't have to read the magazines or is there a way to get the magazines in a already made save?
Titoxic  [author] Jul 24, 2024 @ 4:12am 
@Dzei yes it is. But to unlock the recipes, you first need to find and read the magazine.
Azrael_ Jul 22, 2024 @ 11:38am 
Is it possible to add this on an ongoing MP save? I can't see it on the recipes tab on skills menu
SS Edmund Fitzgerald May 28, 2024 @ 6:37pm 
Modes, not mods.
SS Edmund Fitzgerald May 28, 2024 @ 6:37pm 
Ive seen many of these, the one me and my friend liked to use was one mod that allowed you to make engine parts with just scarp metal, had 3 mods, God, Jew, and normal.
Zeca Setão Jan 21, 2024 @ 3:34pm 
Damnnn, thank you so much man!! So yeah, I'm actually a dumhead!! HAHA great mod btw dude, nice work your made on it :D
Titoxic  [author] Jan 21, 2024 @ 3:36am 
Hello @Kellar, if you already read the magazine, the three recipies should appear in the "general" crafting tab (the first one after "favourite"). You can also use the searchbar in the general crafting tab and search for "engine", that should certainly find the recipy if you unlocked it.
Zeca Setão Jan 19, 2024 @ 6:20pm 
Hey, man! Look, I might be a dumbhead, but the craft doesn't appear anywhere in the craft menu... Not engineering, nor metalworking, nor electrics... Is it a bug or I'm just dumb enough? And I've actually read the magazsine
W3VO Dec 21, 2023 @ 6:11pm 
GRACIAS!
diabolicdoctor Dec 18, 2023 @ 3:01pm 
Hi @Titoxic of course it will be unlisted! Thanks for the permission :)
Titoxic  [author] Dec 18, 2023 @ 2:39pm 
@diabolicdoctor Hello, thank you for asking. I have previously myself run a server and I know how useful a combined server modpack can be. You are welcome to use it in your pack and redistribute this mod as long as it's in an unlisted modpack of yours which you only share with your server members (automatically happens if you put your pack on unlisted on Steam and add it to your PZ server).
diabolicdoctor Dec 18, 2023 @ 2:55am 
Hi, we are using this mod on our Roleplay-Server "FallenLands" and I would like to ask if it would be ok to add it to our Modpack, of course with full credits given?
Titoxic  [author] Oct 17, 2023 @ 4:37am 
@Makkuro真っ黒JokerGod with vanilla game settings loot should be respawning after a long time. So there should be a chance that one spawns at some point. If you disabled it or if you don't want to wait for it you could use the debug mode to artificially spawn one yourseflf. I recommend looking up project zomboid debug tools online.
Makkuro真っ黒JokerGod Oct 16, 2023 @ 12:51am 
Hi, I'm planning to add this mod into my save mid playthrough, I've explored almost three fourths of the entire map at this point, is there a way to retrospectively spawn the machinist magazine into the world?
