You want a hand drill or a cordless drill. A hardware store is probably a good place to go looking for those.
You should also check out this site - it's incredibly useful.

Also likely the first game I've ever played where a shopping cart feels like a superpower.

You should look into NEO Scavenger for a place where shopping carts are also a superpower

Can you place constructions under vehicles?
I can't test it because I already walked back. Took a few hours.

Last I checked yea.  I remember filling in deep holes when they spawned and my tires were in it.

So, I just murdered a few animals, and I definitely can't eat it all, because it only have a shelf life of what, one or two days? So does not butchering the corpse preserve it for longer? Also, should I do this "field dress" butchery? Apparently it makes the corpse longer to rot, but I'm not sure if that will really do that.

[Erk]

Unrefrigerated meat just doesn't last long. You could smoke it. Leaving the corpse without dressing it makes it last even less time, but field dressing only usually buys you time to transport it to your butchery setup, it's not a means of meat preservation for the long term.

How do you do it though? I can't get an answer from the wiki.

Oh, and while you are at it, can you list all the ways to preserve food?

 When you butcher something, a menu comes up, right? simple, full, dismember, dissect, etc, right? One of the options is field dressing.

 Preserving food... Canning, salting, smoking, freezing, vacuum packing... Any others? Turning it into a food that lasts seasons(jerky, pemmican) is an option

I looked up a guide to field dressing.  oof tying intestines

Yes, I know that. I was asking about smoking meat.

Well, I was asking for specific instructions. Which one is most accessible early game?

I'd probably say salting.  Cooking 3 lets you turn meat chunks into Meat jerky with just a fire next to some salt water, so it is by far the easiest to set up I would say.

You can find salt water tiles in swamp squares.

[Aseaheru]

 Otherwise, smokers. The portable ones are an option, if a bit of a pain. You can find the built ones in butcher shops and some derilict barns, the main problem is finding charcoal fer them.

I'm thinking about getting into this game again. Anyone have any suggestions where's a good guide? All the stuff I search is a little outdated.

Look up stuff as you find it. That's the second bit of advice I can give. The first is to learn the keys, as always with ascii games.

I’d say Vormithrax’s videos (Cataclysm University and Cataclysm Quick Tips) are pretty helpful as well.
