Project Zomboid mod that makes hotwiring cars harder.
This mod is mostly useful for multiplayer when cars are enabled.
Current vanilla skill level requirements of 1 Electrical and 2 Mechanics can be met with perks from the very start, so many newcomers can hotwire and take others' cars without significant effort. Boosting requirements negates that.
As a bonus the mod has an ability to revert damage done to hotwired cars and even craft a key if your skill is high enough.

Metalworking is now required in addition to upped Electrical and Mechanics levels as a person should be able to at least know their way with metal to open ignition in most cases.

Increased requirements. Player should not only be able to revert the damage done to electrical circuits, but also put the lock back in place and weld it all together.

Overkill? Maybe. But consider that each player can craft keys if they pass the checks now and even become an auto locksmith on the server – a task that only administrators could perform previously.
