I search for any similar topic to what I was on my mind, this look about right to give my humble suggestion. If not pardon me.
Finding junk on street is ok. but not enough
I was thinking about using this:
Toolor
Super Tool Kiton a car/truck and gather some metal parts maybe alloys(?)
And it should not be fast. I mean there should be long animation of man/woman working on vehicle to just get this piece of metal.
_____
but if u want get the good stuf u need to use:
Plasma TorchU will get random low metals parts (more than by using tools/supertools it) or few good metal parts, HQ alloys (?)
+ u have to have science and repair high, like some mechanic to use it successfully and don't cut ur fingers
Animation should be about the same time like above (just animation of sparks and working hard man/woman)
________
Why long animation? - not so carefree in city full of dangerous critters & more dangerous people when u have to do ur work and watch ur back.
and it wont be so easy to just go take what u want and w8 until gathering time is gone.
(but short enough to actually take the parts and have time to do something else not 24/7 standing next to car/truck)
The idea is raw at edge but I hope not impossible to imply.
Thank u for spending time reading this pleas give some opinion.
