The skill motor by Dr Pixel is a great object but could use a better mesh. The other ones cloned from it I’ve seen uploaded are too medieval or too post apocalyptic for what I want. I separated the engine from the TS3 fixer upper car converted by crispsandkerosene and dangerously balanced put it on top of cinderblocks from the BG bookcase with cinderblocks. The cinderblocks are repo’d to the bookcase ones, which aren’t recolorable (though they should be recolorable if there’s a cep-extra for this around). I gave it all the wall and ground shadows at a point but reduced it just to a groundshadow since I didn’t like how it looked with wallshadows. I made a few recolors partly eyedropped off Google images and partly from my own bullshit.

Other things I did: increased mechanical skill gain, increased fun gain very slightly, made autonomous, made visitor enabled, decreased footprint to 2 tiles, and added a FT version that gives tinkering enthusiasm (use only 1 version). This mesh was cloned and has new GUIDs due to this. It can be used with the original mesh.

Known issues: animations line up a bit oddly and I couldn’t figure out how to make the wrench spawn with the animations that usually use it
