Par the course, Sean.

I'd like to see antique pistols, the kind that are loaded with powder and a ball-shaped piece of lead that you have to craft >.>

Not sure how that would work out.

Flintlock pistols/rifles and paper cartridges with ball shot and powder are in the latest experimental.

Not only just now I think, I seem to recall crafting a ball bearing bullet (alliteration!) gun

Playing the latest stable version, on day 1, going around seeing what I can loot. This is the lamest town ever, aside from a bar, hardware store, and a grocery store, it's all houses.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how difficult would it be to move an electric motor from one electric car to another? I've found two electric cars that are in otherwise drivable condition, except one is missing the wheels but has a motor, and the other has wheels but is missing an engine. I have no skill in mechanics at the moment, and I haven't tried modifying vehicles in this game.

Replacing the motor is a fuckton of Mechanics, generally 7-ish at least. Wheels are much easier, but you need to find a whole set.

It's about a 6 [mechanics  ] if I remember right. If you get a wrench/jack/hacksaw you can dismantle entire cars easily for free mechanics power-leveling.

You'll need a hacksaw and a wrench to remove parts, and... actually, no idea what to use for attaching them, but presumably a welder and a wrench. The hardware store should help with that. As for skill... well, if the game's at least partially realistic then you'll just have a chance of damaging the part you're taking out or putting in with low skill.

edit: aand ninja'd by more experienced people.

I think it actually depends on the type of the motor. Last time I installed a new engine was adding a high-capacity one to an armored car with one already in place.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

Yes. That's adding an engine to a vehicle with one already. Otherwise its just the base cost to remove the engine.

[Funk]

You need a charged welder to add most things to a vehicle, adding an engine gets harder for the bigger and more power full one, a small V2 is only level 2 but the much bigger V6's and 8s are 4 skill, the rare V12 is 8.
Adding a second engine is a level 12 job.

Static spawn doesnt seem to yield triffids or any other ooey gooey creature.  I found a wasp nest in a building, but no other fun things . . . 

am i correct to assume they wont show in static spawn mode?

Re: MOAR GUNZ!QsadFDSF
We have a working mod manager now, which was the main holdup on pulling in ludicrous numbers of guns.  All the guns people care to stat out can now go into a "more guns" mod that people can easily toggle on if they like.  Similarly if people want to stat out even more scifi-ish weapons, feel free, they'll just go in an optional mod pack.
Due to all the work that has gone into extracting game entities to json, you can mod in new items, monsters, building types, martial arts, vehicles, vehicle components, recipes, constructions, terrain... really it's gotten to the point that the list of what you can't mod is shorter.

I want it to be more flexible, but what we have is a great start. (it's file based, I want it to be tag based for better mix n match)

Yes, so I noticed. Makes my adding all the new entries to a separate text file even more prudent than it already was.

Unless something's changed, Static allows for almost anything, just not anyWHERE. You'll need to go hunting for triffids, I haven't found very many in my playtrhoughs, but I only play on static.
