Could we get some components for engines and recipes to disassemble/craft them? Also, don’t modern cars have quite a bit of computer stuff in them, micromanaging the engine and stuff? We could add a few tiers of Engine Management stuff that improve fuel efficiency and handling. Not only would cars become a source of the oh-so-elusive circuit board and electronic scrap, but that would also give us some Computer skill-based recipes. Another Computer-based car part would be one of those fancy noise-cancelling systems. Perhaps a low tier version that only prevents you from going deaf inside your vehicle, and a higher tier version that actually reduces overall engine noise. Maybe throw in some power steering, power brakes, and anti-lock brake systems for even better handling. Finally, a recipe to turn several alternators into a generator that turns gas into electricity with even greater efficiency would be kinda cool.
