Edit 2: You are welcome to send constructive criticism but if you are sending hate to make yourself feel like less of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I am having none of it.

Thank you. Hope it helps.

When you open up the game up you will see this or a different vehicle:
(Depending If you own any DLC packages)

This is the starting car you will have a different one if you bought the game before the final release or have paid/recived for a DLC.

On the overlay you can see multiple buttons I will go in depth in all these later on.

As of now the most important are:

Build:
Edit you vehicle. All the controls for editing will be seen at the top of your screen.

Test Drive:
Test your vehicles against weak AI vehicles. They are equipped with machince guns and shotguns.

Market:
Buy or sell parts on the black market.

Factions:
You start in the engineers faction and the rest are unlocked at level 10. factions are where you can craft parts or containers, or flags that boost your EXP gain.

You may want to go into about 5-10 battles to get some Scrap and parts, after you have some you can start customizing your vehicle.

Energy is one of my main attributes to consider when building a vehicle:

Energy the thing that prevents this:

Weapons and modules take up energy. Remember vehicles have limited energy, so use it wisely.
Here is the energy overlay:

As you can see I can't place this rocket launcher on the starter car becuase I don't have enough energy. So I could get rid of a machine gun which would bring me from 5/7 energy to 3/7 energy, then I could put down the launcher.

There are two ways to increase energy capacity, adding a generator or switching to another cabin.

Generators:
You may only have one generator at a time on one car. At the moment there are 4 different generators, each offering different amounts of energy. Some generators offer a lot of extra energy, however can explode when damaged. It is best to have this unexposed.

Cabins:
There are many cabins that offer different specs. Some have a high amout of energy capacity but are heavy and slow, others are very fast but offer little energy.

Crafting is not a unique feature in games, but that doesn't mean it's easy!
Your first Item you will want to craft is either an Ammo Pack, a Radiator, or a Cooler, these work with mostly anything you create so chose the one that fits you best.

Crafting: Teir One (white/common parts)
To craft any white part you will need:
*300 Scrap*

Crafting: Teir two (blue/rare parts)
Rare parts are a bit more expensive, but just wait untill you see the others...
*450 Scrap*
*50 copper*

Crafting: Teir three (purple/epic parts)
This is when it's no longer a quick raid and battle to get your item

*___ Scrap*
*____ Copper*
*___ Wires*
