Tired of scavenging for pristine parts in the apocalypse? With the DIY Vehicle Parts! mod, you can now forge your own automotive components from the scraps you find in the world of Project Zomboid! This modification empowers you to create a wide array of Diy Car Parts, enhancing your survival and mobility. Designed with modularity in mind, this mod is perfect for both solo players and multiplayer server environments.
Module 1: “DIY Vehicle Parts!” – Forge Your Automotive Future
Unlock the secrets of automotive crafting by finding and studying magazines scattered throughout the world. Once you’ve gained the knowledge, you’ll be able to construct a variety of essential diy car parts, including:
- Engine Spare Parts
- Batteries
- Large Gas Tanks
- Double Rear Doors
- Rear Doors
- Hoods
- Suspensions
- Tires
- Mufflers
- Brakes
- Trunk Lids
- Seats
- Front Doors
- Composite Glass (made from baking soda and glue!)
Magazines are Key: Your journey to becoming a master of diy car parts begins with knowledge. Locate and learn from three distinct magazines to unlock crafting recipes for “Standard,” “Heavy,” and “Sport” grade components.
Skill Matters: The complexity of crafting diy car parts will test your skills. The required skill levels vary depending on the type of machinery you’re using and the grade of part you aim to create.
| Skill | Standard | Heavy | Sports |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metalworking | 2 | 4 | 6 |
| Mechanic | 2 | 4 | 7 |
| Electronics | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Carpentry | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Note: Electronics and Carpentry skills are specifically needed for crafting batteries and composite windows.
New Essential Items: Keep your handcrafted vehicles running with new Car Boosters! These items provide a quick jolt of energy to your car battery when you’re in a pinch. Choose from three types:
- Volodya Car Booster: Provides a substantial 40% charge in a single use.
- Car Booster Disposable: Offers a convenient 25% charge.
- Car Booster Homemade: A crafted solution, providing a 20% charge.
Each booster type has unique characteristics you can discover through in-game item descriptions. Be mindful that frequent booster use can degrade your car battery’s overall condition over time.
Module 2: “DIY Vehicle Parts! GlassWindow” – Windows from Scraps
Specifically designed for server owners concerned about game balance, the “GlassWindow” module allows for the creation of car windows from broken glass. This module is optional, giving server administrators control over resource availability. The recipe for these diy car parts utilizes “Broken Glass,” readily obtainable by smashing windows in buildings – adding a risk-reward element to scavenging for window materials.

Magazine for Glass Windows: To unlock the ability to craft windows from glass shards, you’ll need to find and study the dedicated “glass shard window crafting journal.”
