Car parts

Car Parts (always plural; there is no singular) are trade goods available for purchase in most town Markets, and as loot in most wilderness encounters if any vehicles have had their engines destroyed.

With the introduction of player-owned camps, Car Parts are probably the single most important trade good in Darkwind as they are used in the manufacture of all other trade goods except food and water. As a result their availability on the open market is severely constrained, and the importance of highly-skilled Mechanics has increased.

NOTE: It is believed that a certain number of "car parts" (quantity unknown) must be owned by a gang before that gang can build a camp.

FIXME Would be great if we could get some confirmation of this.
