SCUM 0.8 - How To Upgrade Repair & Mod The New Modular Vehicles

Most will know how to repair wheels and the vehicle in general but here's some tools you will also need on the road -

-Improvised tyre repair kit
-Tyre repair kit
-Vehicle repair kit

You can also repair your car via the trader once your vehicle is on the vehicle jack

Instead of having medium engineering there should be books on how to maintenance cars like 5 books or something, its such a pain leveling engineering it would be easier if you could purchase the books from a trader.

i want change the god damn color :D and the SUV back :D

Honestly, I decided to give this game another go the other day, so downloaded it and well, I'm already bored shitless with it, the monotony of searching through cupboards etc for loot when 90% of them are empty, fucking sucks, I've always felt and still feel that if more loot was laid out like it is in DayZ, that would make it more enjoyable, but after playing for another 12 or so hours, I honestly find myself bored shitless again and frustrated with the awfully shit looting mechanics, soooo I'm unfortunately un-installing the game once again.

how cheap or how expensive is the gas on the gas station ?? coz i always have not enough money for...

i need a good server survival hardcore pve

Something to consider, some servers will have a cap on the number of Engines that can spawn so be careful when playing the unpopulated old servers

And the game starts to look outdated now, they need to step up their game, or else it will die a silent death.. I have to hei this game for a few years now, but I can tell it looks even worse noe..

Doesn't look like they put any efforts to the artwork of the armor on the car at all 🤦

You'd have to have someone to drive the car on tow.

I tried to repair my tires with a tire repair kit but it didn't do anything. Do I need a toolbox also?

im wondering if you need electrician tools for the car battery? considering it is an electrical item.

Maybe u need to confirm the purchase for engine and battery before it does alternator. Like put 1 part and pay for it then the next

just a big thank you! :)

Wouldn't breaking the engines out into repairable/lootable components you can bring to a found car instead be much more realistic/efficient? Hope they implement something like that instead.

I saw a dude roll a car into a safe zone last night and another dude sold it out from under him, will putting a lock on the door stop other players from being able to sell it.

the Car Jack doesnt work at all i cant do anything to my car

Alternators??

Love the vids, enormous help Ray. Thanks and don't stop. Love the level of detail you go into to help those of us who have trouble figuring out the controls and commands.

I can't even find a car and it won't let my buy one

This is why I always buy their support packs because this game is just LIT! I love the devs of scum! cannot wait to get a modular pickup truck!

I need this game on ps4!!!

Man those devs have no imagination at all! Copying everything from DayZ the "Gunter2" and "Ada 4x4" lol

I swear guys this game will remain early access for 10 more years collecting your money and then exit scam without finishing it 🤣

I still cannot buy an engine at the mechanic. Ive tried card and cash. HELP

I've had a problem with not being able to pay for the engine even though I have the money

I've found the more mods you put on you vehicle the more fuel you go consume, and now you pay for fuel its not really worth it. Ive taken all surplus things off the car,ie doors, seats and back hatch and it makes a big difference

uuuurh i'm not coder so this could be a ridiculous request for all i know, what about being able to have more than one person push the vehicle to allow you to push up hill maybe not super steep at a guess 15-20% gradient maybe more with a 3rd man pushing from the rear, but me thinks its would be complicated, with de-sync and physics, can't really think of complex game like scum where multiple players can manipulate the same object in unison, probably best to just getting towing implemented probably far easier to dev and code lols i'd guess

can anyone else think of game where a cars engine can be missing and pushing a vehicle like that in scum is a thing in any other games because i can't in my 28 yrs of life, That feature is truly amazing, its why i've always said i'm not just passionate about games but its the ideas themselves that turn into awesome features, i think its way i fcking dispise ubisoft and EA games alot of other AAA company that beat there talented work force into submission of a copy and paste frenzy, CEO sez "thy creative passions and ideas will not get in the way of my profit margins", Loving that smaller studios are coming up with fresh ideas, i really love project Zomboid for its in depth-ness, like being able to do car mechanics and break up objects or move objects like walls, furniture is a remarkable feature .

If you want a walking dead experience. Join the server "Bropack". lots of zombies, NO ROBOTS, build where you want!
Good luck and stay Frozty!

Wait ao did they remove all the other vehicles besides these 3?

I think one important detail that often gets missed (which I did recently) is the requirement for having medium engineering skill. Another one is if the car is missing a wheel you can't push it at all and need to find and put on a wheel first.

What if multiple people push the car together? Can we then push it uphill?

Yoo Mad Max vibes.

I found a Wolfswagen and now all I find are Laika tyres. facepalm 🤣🤣

i cant wait for mod support its going to be amazing

I Take the hood off the car and it works for me to install battery.

The amount of things devs can do with modular vehicles is endless. More storage space, more armor, more efficient fuel consumption, gas tanks instead of back seats, lockable modular prison sell on the backseats, some makeshift rocket launcher instead of front seat, more powerfull engines.

Hi, great video! Please, do wheels spawn in garages too? Or in any specific containers / areas? And does Laika wheel to VW car? Thank you.

To install a car battery you need to point at the blue washer fluid reservoir. Kinda odd but it works. Also be sure to have the battery in your hands. Car jack is only needed to fit and remove wheels.

From my experience you can add the battery not in service mode

I think they may have made the cars too complicated. wheels and engine yes, but all the other parts just stop people from getting on and playing the game. be interesting to see if they drop the alternator etc in later patches

You know they shouldve just made the whole car customization stuff exactly like how most racing games or games like GTA 5 does it
Once you bring it to the mechanic it goes right into a separate gamespace for it and when you're done it drops the customized vehicle into the world via a load screen

If you played any games like GTA 5 or just any racing game you get the idea of what I mean


Cause let's face not everything in the game has to be that realistic that it's counter intuitive and could be done a lot better and be way easier on the player

You might want to shill the scum discord tho

Don't have to but if I was scum content creator id let the audience know it exists

That and that's where they can make their suggestions for in game features etc be heard and stuff

I think I heard that if you have someone with you, you can have the other player use another vehicle to push you while you are in the other one. (If that makes sense.)

Some of the services are skill locked.

Can you push a vehicle missing one tire?

One thing that happened to me was when i found a Wolfswagon. Missed a wheel, driver's side seat and door, missing boot cover, and battery wasn't charging. Found that out after I got it running when I installed all the parts I located. The issue was, the battery wasn't charging. Looked at with the vehicle on the jack and found that the alternator was bad. I pulled out an alternator from another vehicle (same one I found for the other parts), installed it into my dead car, and the car started immediately (after a small charge from a pair of "Never-Ready" batteries I found while looting. It can take a LONG time to get things going, but the grind was totally worth it! Enjoy! RIBBIT!!!

The boobs of your lady avatar are surely modified too.. But to the point, its too ambitious, they havent released half of what they have shown on leaks, and for over a year ago.. Instead we are getting leaks of more females clothing and hand abrassions... Like common! I dont think this game will release 1.0 i n15 month to be honest. Will all the ambition and work that still need to be done.

And apart from that, other games are like both releasing (Rooted, Son Of the Forest, even freaking ARK is getting updated to UE 5!)

Cars can be pushed up hill. Depending on the hill steepness. If it's not steep but a long gradual climb, u can push it up. If it's steep u can zig zag it up. Also if u have a squad, 2 or more pushing (WW golf can have 4 pushing) then it's even easier to push uphill.

Be it that your character has been played with in-game in order to increase strength and constitution. Also a good way to exercise to increase stats.

I strongly disagree that installing and removing parts should use up your REPAIR kit... it shouldn't. Repairing should use up your repair kit. You don't throw out a wrench IRL after you've tightened 10 bolts.... this is ridiculous and completely unneeded.
