Editing Mechanic (section)

== Effects ==
The mechanic skill is a passive skill that:

* Decreases the time it takes to repair the [[armor]] of your [[vehicles]] in town -- '''this has not been verified'''
* Reduces the cost of repairing your [[vehicles]] in town
* Increases the amount of [[car parts]] found in loot
* Gives a slight chance to repair destroyed [[darkwind:vehicles:engines|engines]] after combat ends.
**Jury-Rigged or otherwise repaired engines are usually at very low health!
* Increases chances of stripped [[weapons]] off unsalvageable vehicles spawning in the loot.

It seems that only the skill of your highest mechanic counts for most of the things mechanics can improve - having an army of mechanics doesn't grant you more looted car parts or faster repair times than having a single good mechanic.
