love this mod for 10years later thanks for making this gem for the community

@denizolcek who asked? if you don't want the mod don't download it. Also learn to read, the mod is called "cars picked clean" implying that the parts were taken by others, Just because you're playing single player and the game doesn't have NPCs (yet) doesn't mean nobody else live near you, what do you think meta events are.

Also read the mod description. It's designed with long term servers in mind where usable parts would be hard to find 20 years later in an apocalypse. So yeah the parts missing makes 100% perfect sense. Go away.

Outer parts of the car not being there doesnt make sense at all, they wouldnt fall off by themselves and its not like there are people living in the area to steal parts from them. Sure it would make sense if a battery died or the engine didnt work but any other part not being there makes no sense.

@hilvon that was fixed a long time ago, I'm not sure why you're still encountering it.

Hi. On your image thumbnail I notide a problem that I also had with "Time Worsen car condition" in B41. You can have a situation when a door is removed and window isn't. Would be nice to account for that... Getting a reference to window part for a door is not too hard...

The reason I think this is important - if you use Vanilla Vehicles Animated and the door is missing - the game will not load bones required to animate the door. And as such will not be able to position the window correctly. Not game breaking. Just looks really bad if that happens.

@Dr. Quackers M.D. If you're using this mod but still setting your game up like it's only been a week from infection the issue is that you don't know who the mod is for, a great deal of players play on servers that aim to simulate years after the knox event where scarcity is the main game play drive. If you're looking for something that makes more sense thematically with game settings the more closely represent the vanilla game I would recommend using my mod for car decay rather than this one.

it would make sense if there were other cars used by npcs but there is not so now a week after the infection starts your wondering what happened to all the car parts cause its only been a week, just creates another hole and thats where did all the car parts go and what were they used for.

Updated, issues with all engines should no longer occur @Yasone @flowergirl_Amber

So it turns out it was bugged and I had a different version running than was uploaded *facepalm me* I will be shortly uploading the fixed version.... *head desk*

@flowergirl_Amber The weird thing is I never had this issue so I can only assume it was a mod conflict. That being said I have not tried it in some time I will try again soon as I want to play zomboid again soon.

Did anyone ever find out why all engines are at 0% even when u turn off the chance in the settings????

not sure what causes the issue but the engines all have 0% no matter what when affected by this. could simply be an incompatibility or a specific issue with this mod just putting my issue here so its known

@Doom Girl No worries, still a really great mod.

@Billip Sadly without knowing what is causing the issue there's not much I can do, when run as the only mod there is no such error thus meaning it's a compat issue =( Most likely scenario is that there's another mod that uses the same naming in it's code or something but I would need to know what the mod is to fix it. I'm also currently not investigating as I am busy IRL =(

Fantasitic mod! I'm having the same issue as @E_Tgirl. Any updates on the matter would be nice :).

@tonyzur I don't remember why I left the gas tanks. I think there was an issue with the way it's generated in the code... All my attempts to have to removed via RNG either ended up not working or removing all of them. I might look at it down the track but I'm also not the best at Lua.

this is great for a day one start if you're trying to emulate cataclysm in zomboid, damn acid rains melted all the tires and the rioters stole the mufflers and doors. also, this mod seems to be better than algol's "worse vehicle condition", which appears to be unlisted from searches since i can't find it even though i'm subscribed to it and have it in my mod collection. algol's mod didn't touch on doors, trunks and hoods, however it seems that neither of your mods is able to remove gas tanks altogether, though algol's mod will often set the gas tank condition of cars to 0%.

@SumYungGuy. Most likely there is a mod conflict, cars spawn with no parts when there is an error at the start of the code that the mod invokes. if you can, let me know if there are any errors in debug mode and I will be able to look at the issue.

Don't know why, but when I start up my server with this in MP, all car parts are gone from every vehicle.

will let you know when i get to testing that out, currently im hours into mod testing so ill be taking a small break for now lol. for now only things ive tested is if it is a mod load order issue which its not, if the mod touched the car with the first probability regardless of shot chance it will be 0 condition engine. ill try to get back to you once i find it out cause i love this mod ty for your work.

@E_Tgirl Very strange. let me know what mod is causing the issue, if I can install the mod I may actually be able to fix the compatibility issues

Found an incompatibility, ill come back if i find out what it is but currently it causes all engines touched by the mod to have 0 engine health regardless of setting

Can't have shit in kentucky

Posted an error in discussions, possible mod conflict

===========

F.A.Q

I do not know of any incompatible mods. Please comment if you find one.

Yes it works in Multiplayer.

Hello Pink!
This mod work in MP and with other vehicles mod?

@Spite Yes but cars that already exist will not lose parts as parts are removed at random on spawn.

thanks, ima experiment on this today

@Harry Pottard I have implemented your request today :D

Detroit simulator.

@Espio I think so too although in terms of the vanilla game it does take place the day the apocalypse starts so it makes sense that those cars aren't ruined. That being said with the ability to make the game feel like it's far into the future this mod really needs to be there. It does actually seem like they plan on making this a feature in the future based on how the code is currently written.

This should be in the actual game. Makes getting a first car alot harder as right now in vanilla it's just way too easy even without burglar.

thanks, this is a good mod from what i had seen when in my test world. and being able to change the percentage of how many cars spawn with missing parts i feel is a good realism factor. because you know people are gonna yoink shit.

@Harry Pottart I can probably add that pretty easily, will add it to the list

is it possible to change the percentages of vehicles that spawn with broken parts

no not you lol, Indie Stone and car modders like Filibuster, they could be the ones to do that

@ApollonDriver I'm not an artist my dude, please feel free to do it if it's nice and easy but I don't have that kind of talent.

vehicle modders and the studio is a bit lazy about how cars look when a body part gets removed. It shouldn't be hard to have the inside of the trunk show up when its open, just a box would be enough. or a low res image of an engine bay when the hood is missing. oh well.
