LvxMagicks - Tuned Parts in Junk Piles

Lvx Tuned Junk Loot

A balanced loot expansion for Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 that introduces tuned (performance / "red") parts to scrap and junk piles in both Junkyards and Barns as rare bonus discoveries.

In the base game, searching scrap piles in the Junkyard or Barns yields only standard stock parts, usually in rusted condition. Lvx Tuned Junk Loot adds excitement to scavenging by giving piles a chance to drop performance tuning parts—without breaking game balance or flooding your inventory.

• []Bonus Salvage Loot: Tuned parts appear alongside normal scrap items as rare bonus drops.[/]

  []Strict Anti-Saturation Cap: Piles are limited to a maximum of 1 bonus performance part per pile to keep discoveries meaningful and rare.[/]

  []Balanced Drop Rates:

  []Junkyard: 7. 5% base chance per scrap pile.[/]

  []Barns: 1. 35x multiplier (~10. 1% chance) to reflect rarer, better-preserved barn finds.[/]

[]Authentic Salvage Condition: Discovered performance parts spawn in worn condition (default 25% to 65%), making them ideal candidates for repair or restoration.[/]

[]Quality Star Rolls: 15% chance for a dropped tuning part to spawn with 1 to 3 Quality Stars.[/]

[]Mechanical Focus: Cosmetic exterior tuning parts (spoilers, hoods, diffusers) are excluded by default so loot focuses on functional engine and suspension upgrades (can be toggled in config).[/]

[]TKAftermarket Mod Support: Automatically detects if the TKAftermarket mod is present and dynamically adds registered aftermarket parts into the drop pool alongside base game performance parts. No manual configuration required.[/]
