The Easy Way To Grind Level 2 Mechanics | Project Zomboid

- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- I know everyone dreads the grind before they can hotwire, so here's a guide on how to do it the easiest way. It might not be the fastest, but its better than having to work on multiple cars.
Yes, you could watch a carzone vhs tape to hit level 2 if you don't plan on maxing your mechanics later. If you do plan on maxing your mechanics later its better to use that flat experience boost when you've read one of the higher tier books for the larger multiplier.

1-read mechanics for begginners
2-watch a single carzone VHS
done, you are level 2 mechanics.
Well VHS tapes immediately gets snatch up early to mid game. Finding that specific VHS tape is even harder. If you are lucky and know someone in the server who has that tape. Guard it with your life because people will carry it off and die in the middle of no where with it.
yeah, cazone VHSs with books, gives the most experience, I usually raid bookstores schools and the video stores for fast leveling 4 or 5, I cannot remember which level i usually reach
edit: same with woodworking and cooking, super easy to level up with the VHSs
oooooor. level 2 mechanics with this then use the vhs to further level up. Anyways its harder to find the vhs.
Mechanics for Beginners gives a 3x boost, Master Mechanics gives a 15x boost. You can only use the VHS once
@@FinetalPiesgetting mechanics 2 means something, getting mechanics 8+ hardly means anything. If you really wanted “bang for your buck” you’d use the vhs after you got lvl 4. As that’s when it starts to really slow down and it’ll get you to the next thresholds a lot faster. By level 8 you’re able to do anything with a car, no point in saving videos till then.
Mechanics VHS tape
Save them for the higher tier book bonuses if you plan on leveling mechanics any higher. They all give flat xp so its almost a waste to watch one for the first 2 levels.
@@Retanaru i found carzone episode 1 gives you almost enough to hit lvl 2 with the book read so nothing goes to waste.
@@juliusEST The higher level books give a higher experience multiplier. Meaning more free experience from watching the tape if you wait.
@@Retanaru iS there any reason to have mechanic higher than 6? Other than sports car brakes
@@juliusEST You repair engines for more with higher level mechanics.
Automechanics is a fun mod, as well as autoreloading and autotailoring. I hate grinding stats manually so it's very useful
Haha this is awesome, this method feels more akin to something you'd find in OSRS and im all for it
You can repair seats for infinite mechanic and tailoring xp at the cost of rags
This method works for other parts as well. For example the trunks of standard cars also require 7 mechanics and give 0.98xp if you read the xp book, you only need a screwdriver and wrench but it's also slower to uninstall.
I absolutely love your content!! AND THERE IS OSRS MUSIC TO BOOT! Subbed, no questions asked, no strings attached! Keep up the good work mate!
Well I always go for bulbs, 20-30 and screwdriver and its can be macroed but not as easly, + of that it works for higher levels, you get xp for instaling and uninstaling bulb its per each bulb a day, so take more bulbs or more cars (not really hard because you can even do it on wrecked cars)
Imagine finding a survivor zombie with like 60 bulbs in their bag. Just zomboid things.
Bulb radio and batteries. It doesnt take too long unlike some other professions
"Damn dude, how did you learn how to fix up all these cars?"
"Light bulbs"
"...Huh?"
You find a house which looks normal on the outside, but you step in and see hundreds of lightbulbs lying on the floor, in the shelves, in crates, in washing machines, on bookshelves, on beds, chairs, tables etc.
light bulbs are quite quick too, you just need to collect a bunch of them and/or use multiple vehicles. Good thing about lightbulbs is that they work until 10 (although that would be quite the grind, particularly without starting with 1 or more mechanics skill)
This brings back one of my worst surviving days.
In the first week I found a survivor house and a decent D-6 truck, I was well prepared for the roflcopter. And when shit hit the fan, I hop on my truck and go as far as I can. Welp... thing doesn't go smoothly, I crashed the truck three times. First time the engine start making noises, second time made the engine stall every 15 seconds. The the third time, my truck is dead and I'm forced to walk to the Army Surplus Store to look for vehicles.
I found 2 crashed car with keys and tow my truck back to my temporary base, the gas station. I reclaimed most of my rainy day supplies and try to drive away with the crashed car, which burst its tire while not even leave the town. My character was a feeble, underweight girl, there's no way she can survive on foot and travel to other town.
So the next week, she has to grind her mechanic skill to lv2 by assemble and dissemble a van near the station, over and over again. The process is extremely painful cuz she has to switch from different tires and parts to grind exp. After she trashed 2 originally good van and finally learnt to hot wire, thank god she made it to Ekron before food runs out.
Anyway, after a month in Ekron, she stockpiled some engine parts and went back to her old partner. 6 month passed, she's still travel with her trusty black D-6 pickup truck.
Go post this on reddit.
I got a mod called Automechanics which runs a script automating all the removal and installing of the parts. Can't play without it as it allows me to speed up time. Saves me all the click spam.
Wow nice! I really wish I added this to my Mechanics video! Nice job
buttt it's still a great video with out it
@@halcyonways1476 Thanks a lot haha
Perfect timing, am just about to start leveling Mechanic, I have 100 light bulbs ready... but this looks waaaaay faster. Thanks!
Nice one bro ! I usually go for windshields and windows on the odd cars !
That's actually very useful
Guys, dismantle seats. You're welcome.
another good way is to grab like 40 lightbulbs, and place/remove each one in 1 car, then move onto another car once youve replaced all 40
Well, there's a recently released mod for Multiplayer, Udderly Vehicle Respawns, that helps with the whole lack of cars thing
Good sh!t, Sir. Left a like
You could just use the broken down sports car (assuming it's not a jeep or the FAT) then you don't need a lug wrench and jack because it's already missing the tire.
That's a really nice trick! Will make next playthroughs much easier to get to hotwiring levels.
Any tips for what to do to grind the next levels? I kinda wanna get to Mechanics 5 but Mechanics is the one skill that I can't seem to get a bead on how to grind efficiently without suffering.
Best way is go to that lot in Riverside (or places in other towns with a LOTS of cars) then go and install and uninstall everything on a car, one exploit is that if you try something such as windows and fail, it gives XP but doesn't consume the "once a day" limit for that part.
Watch the VHS tapes for the rest if you can. It turns into a much more annoying grind. People use the automechanic mod (does all of the car stuff for you like a bot) or spam hundreds of light bulbs on a few cars.
man what a good video!
Bada Bing, Bada Boom!

Hate to be another nay-sayer, but it's an understatement that this requires too much time.
1. Finding the Performance magazine (1 out of a dozen magazines).
2. Finding a sports car (the rarest of all vehicle types and by a mile).
3. Finding the tools (the easiest part of the strat, but still requires going on a mission)
Like others have mentioned, read a book and watch a Carzone episode. You only need to travel to two places (1 if you luck out and find the book in a house while traveling).
Since I start with +1 mechanics to get 4x exp, I use a combination of VHS and light bulbs. VHS can be very difficult to get if starting in West Point though.
@@MsHojat its still difficult everywhere, i tried to raid muldraugh anddddd there were over 200 zombies guarding the vhs store i threw a molotov and there were still a fat horde left, also it burned the vhs store down...
nah I feel bad about damaging cars what so ever.
man, that's gonna be really helpful in my challenge with sprinters setting off house alarms by themselvs
Huh...interesting, I totally wont abuse this in my friends next zomboid server.
Hey Retanaru, any chance you know where to find a list of the xp given by things and activity done in the game? Or how much time (real life time) it would take to grind skills from 0 to 10 without any "boost" (be it from the initial skill levels, professions, or book multiplier) from initial skills present.
I usually use the OSRS XP Drops mod so I can see how much exp I'm getting without having to flick over the exp bars and do math.
@@Retanaru Any chance you list/wrote the values down?
@@lockehart7716 Don't believe so.
I don't think it is 100%, but there has been a sports car in the bar parking lot every play through that I have spawned in Riverside.
Grub
desperation can get you very far
car's engine at 5% condition with a broken hood
needs mechanics lvl 6 to fix it
huh?
Or use the vhs tape plus book to get to level 2 instantly.
This be me using ghost mouse to train strength xD
Hey man great video, what is the name of the mod that shows the xp you are winnig?
@@Bluedream144 thx
Easier solution. Set xp rate to 1000x
Easier to find book and tape lmao
Whats the osrs style xp tracker mod?
Why does this require the Sport Car? cant you do this with any car?
The other car types require lower level mechanics so you can't fail on the same part over and over.
@@Retanaru I see, thanks!
Why sports car in particular?
The skill requirement to work on parts is based on the type of car. Sports cars have 4 brakes you can do this trick on.
You get a like just because you mentioned the xp mod. Most people have mods but dont ever mention non of them and if they did, the video would be many time more useful.
Great info! Thank you.
Duuude thank you for shouting out the mod at the end I was wondering how to get that
