About the Engine Vehicle Module
Its health on the car is the module item's condition, so a module taken off keeps its damage and goes back on with it. Shredded with its car at the Junkyard, it gives back half of its recipe, rounded down.
On the tech tree it sits behind 5 other unlocks: Modular Car Lift, Small Rechargeable Battery, Large Solar Panel, Water Wheel and Switch.
