Unfortunately, I was in Navezgane working for Joel and he didn't have any mechanical parts and there were no gas stations or hardware stores around within reasonable walking distance.
Currently on day 7 in Navezgane in my first playthrough of Alpha 21 after only playing Alpha 20 before and I am loving the upgrade. There are so many improvements it would be misleading to mention only a handful. I am far from being the quickest player and I'm not very experienced either so this problem could be my fault but I haven't found a wrench and have only found one mechanical part. I could make a wrench if I could get mechanical parts but can't get them without a wrench. Ideas?
Yes, that is what I meant. And yes, it would make more sense for a shopping trolley to be destroyed than for it to stop dead the 4x4 that runs into it.
