A practical guide to what matters across CDDA’s scavenging, crafting, equipment, and specialist systems.
Introduction history determines newest order. Undated objects follow dated additions; download dates do not make an object new.
A stereo system with loudspeakers and a built-in set of simple melodies that it will play. Commonly used by ice cream trucks to draw the attention of children in the days when children wanted ice cream more than brains.
A piece of light chitin plating made for a vehicle.
A set of two small wheel mounts from a concrete mixer.
A set of two small wheels from a concrete mixer.
A heavy block of steel used for balancing other heavy things. Can be used as a makeshift anvil.
A vehicle instrument panel with various gauges and switches. Useful for crafting.
This "little" solar panel folds up to carry around, in case you need to charge anything on the go. Its small size means in might take quite some time to charge, however.
A large, ready-to-deploy set of solar panels, designed for portable off-the-grid use.
Some wires and gears for connecting door handles and an unlocking knob to a latching mechanism, and a sturdy lock to go on the outer surface. It is meant to be installed in a vehicle door or hatch.
A standard electric motor. Suitable for use in ultra-light vehicles.
A blue light from the top of an emergency services vehicle. When turned on, the light rotates to shine in all directions.
A red light from the top of an emergency services vehicle. When turned on, the light rotates to shine in all directions.
A powerful electric motor, as found in those consumer electric sports cars with ridiculous or ludicrous acceleration options.
A very fancy table for those with fancy lives. If times were better, it might be useful for something other than firewood.

A piece of very thick vehicle armor plating made of tempered steel. Can be used as a makeshift anvil.
A heavy metal assembly that allows bolting a wheel onto a car. Fit for a large car wheel.
A set of four rotor blades from a military attack helicopter.
An inflatable airbag.
An inflatable boat section.
A large electric motor. Could be used to power a full-size car or SUV.
A large cylinder fashioned out of thick plates of hardened steel, normally found on road rollers. Numerous massive spokes, attached to a central axis, reinforce its structure even further, making it an unstoppable force once it starts rolling.
A large water wheel with wooden supports. It will recharge electrical power when built over shallow moving water.
A large turbine that can convert wind into electric power.
A wide, flat seat like you'd find in the back of a sedan, upholstered with leather.
A soft car seat covered with leather.
A heavy frame outfitted with tie-downs and attachment points for carrying cargo, with additional railings to keep a large animal in place. It is meant to hold large animals for transport. Use it on a suitable animal to capture, use it on an empty tile to release.
A medium-sized steam engine. An integrated boiler burns coal to heat water into steam, driving a reciprocating shaft. A condenser recaptures the water, making this a closed-cycle system.
A medium-size steel rim for a car tire.
A metal assembly that allows bolting a wheel onto a car. Fit for a car wheel.
A simple metal wheel.
A thick sheet of military-grade armor; the best bullet-stopper you can stick on a vehicle.
A compact, lightweight alternator used to power small vehicle electrical systems.
A motorcycle headlight to light up the way.
A kickstand to keep a bike from falling over. You could use this to lean a small vehicle forward or backward to change a tire.
A pair metal skateboard trucks, for attaching wheels to.
A pair of small rail wheels. It fits small railroad rails found in places like amusement parks. Mostly for hobby purposes rather than transportation.
A very small dishwasher designed for use in vehicles.
A computer system hooked up to the steering and engine of a vehicle to allow it to follow simple paths.
Logs tied together to make a vehicle float. Add boat hulls to a vehicle until it floats, then attach oars or a motor to get the boat to move.
A strong rail wheel. A flange helps keep it on a rail, but makes it perform terribly when not on a rail.
A set of leather bindings to control a mountable creature.
Heavy steel beams and harness to attach a sufficiently large creature to a wheeled vehicle, allowing them to pull it along, reinforced to withstand the rigors of the apocalypse and ill-advised off-roading. You would still need separate armor for said creature to wear.
A set of servos, microcontrollers, and other devices, together capable of driving an unmanned vehicle. Its AI is not functional, but it should still have some sort of maintenance mode.
