I'm wondering if it would be feasible to create a mod adding disabled versions of vehicles in the world (ie. occasionally replacing lootable vehicles if possible) that require varying degrees of repairs to "transform" to a usable version. Repairing would require varying amounts of different parts - mechanical & electrical parts, generic vehicle parts, headlight(s), tire(s), oil, etc. - basically anything but the parts you now unlock and craft with Grease Monkey.
In exchange, Grease Monkey would be changed to allow upgrading or creating mods for vehicles, and maybe required to unlock assembly of vehicles with and without a schematic. For example:
Level 0 - Repair bicycle, assemble bicycle with schematic
Level 1 - Repair minibike, assemble bicycle without schematic, assemble minibike with schematic, basic upgrade bicycle
Level 2 - Repair motorcycle, assemble minibike without schematic, assemble motorcycle with schematic, basic upgrade minibike, advanced upgrade bicycle
Level 3 - Repair 4x4, assemble motorcycle without schematic, assemble 4x4 with schematic, basic upgrade motorcycle, advanced upgrade minibike
Level 4 - Repair gyro, assemble 4x4 without schematic, assemble gyro with schematic, basic upgrade 4x4, advanced upgrade motorcycle
Level 5 - Assemble gyro without schematic, advanced upgrade 4x4, all upgrades for gyro, and maybe some "mastery-level" upgrades
Assembly would require the same parts currently required, but the crafted parts would be found in loot instead of crafted. Bicycle and minibike parts would be uncommon but widely distributed, and occasionally found in air drops (credit to ragsy for that idea). Parts for other vehicles would be more rare and found in appropriate POIs.
Any thoughts, forum?
