I sure hope these are bugs because they wreck the fun of the game. I’ve shelved the game for now because I am not spending my game time watching the hours tick by as I repair. This game is not supposed to be a clock watching sim and spending weeks and clearing entire towns of food to survive vehicle repairs is a really poor game.

Adding some things to, and repairing anything on vehicles now takes so much time that it literally takes an unpleasantly long time to build a vehicle (when it takes 4 hours to place a frame and many components) and repairs now take so long that you’d never want to USE your vehicle for fear of having weeks of repairing. It is completely ridiculous and completely UNFUN. This is another example of both selective realism ruining gameplay and/or code getting added to the game without any oversight or thought into the impact of a terrible idea.

The colors of component states for vehicles changed and this seems completely pointless (again, as with many changes over the past few months - arbitrary and adds nothing). I don’t know how long I’ve been playing this game - less than many for sure - 1-2 years - but having the vehicle “damage” colors (and more importantly the fully repaired color change to something that used to mean slightly damaged) is both jarring and confusing (and IMO adds nothing positive).
