Some of the vehicle parts are just variants of each other, like handle or wooden handle, so their description is identical. I wonder if adding them some flag and then describing this flag in |

That's a good suggestion. |

Ok then. The one last thing I want to mention is two spaces after periods inside the sentences. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
You fixed the double spacing, but I was actually talking about the typo ("vehiclebut"). I probably should have clarified after Night-Pryanik's comment. Looks like the same typo got copy-pasta'd several times as well, including a few I missed last night

Better descriptions for some parts, display descriptions for installed parts #24462 |
Part 1a in a multi-step process to enhance the vehicle construction menu, similar to "Construction Menu UI enhancements #24105".
Add descriptions for all the vehicle parts. The descriptions are intended to be functional and give some indication of why you would want to install a particular part and sometimes where you would to install it.
Part 1b will add similar descriptions to the Blazemod parts.
Parts 2+ will change the vehicle interaction screen to display the descriptions, along with some of the other data from the JSON. I'd like to at least expose epower and LIFT and JACK qualities if I can. I definitely want to indicate the location field.
I expect the descriptions will generate some discussion, so I want to get them accepted before I move on.
