How to Harvest Mechanical Parts in 7 Days to Die

The easiest and fastest way to get Mechanical Parts in 7 Days to Die is to harvest them. This requires a wrench, which, as a bit of a cruel joke, requires Mechanical Parts to craft in the first place. However, wrenches can be found within the world, so there’s a chance one will come into your possession relatively early in the game. Construction Sites, Factories, and Hardware Stores seem to be the best POIs to search when looking for a wrench. It is also worth investing in the Lucky Looter Perk when searching for this tool as well.

Once you acquire a Wrench, you can start harvesting Mechanical Parts. Per the 7 Days to Die Wiki, “Mechanical Parts can be harvested by Salvaging Air Conditioners, Gas Stations, File Cabinets, Reinforced Drawbridges, Shopping Carts, Gas Pumps, Ovens, broken down vehicles… and Metal Doors.” The Wiki also suggests looting large office buildings, as they will spawn lots of Office Chairs and File Cabinets.

If all else fails, the Trader can be a last resort to get Mechanical Parts. He sells some expensive items, such as engines, which can be harvested for their Mechanical Parts. While this is certainly not an ideal way to get the resource, it is a good option to have should desperate times call for desperate measures.

And that is how to get Mechanical Parts in 7 Days to Die.
