Editing Camps (section)

=== Mechanics ===
Each mechanic building can facilitate 4 mechanic characters. So if you have say two mechanic buildings, the best 8 mechanics in the camp will automatically use them. The number of mechanics and their skill levels determines two things: (1) how much work they can do in each 24 hour period, and (2) the camp’s overall mechanic rating which determines which items the camp can repair or manufacture. Rare weapons for example will require a high mechanic rating to produce, and a badly damaged rare weapon will require a high mechanic rating to fix. The camp maintains a public supply of member usable goods like fuel, scrap metal, electronics and car parts. This is controlled directly by the camp owner. When any camp member wants to refuel or get mechanic work done, it is this public supply that must be well-stocked enough to facilitate it. There must also be adequate mechanic workload available to do a piece of work.

The mechanic workload rating of a camp also determines how much total CR of cars can be housed there. If there are more cars than this, they will start to take damage due to being inadequately protected from the weather and inadequately worked on for maintenance.

ALL work done by the mechs in camp cost nothing! ie: in Somerset, you are charged to repair your armor and chassis components. In a camp that you are a member of, it will not cost you anything!
   
The mechanic characters belonging to non-subscribers cannot work in the mechanic shops of a camp. This prevents older camps getting filled up with high-skill mechanics belonging to players who really aren't taking part in the game any more
