A useful feature to add to (specifically for version 1.2.07.03) would be a "Parts Compatibility & Smart Sorting" system [1, 2].

These additions would reduce the "menu fatigue" often found in later stages of the game while rewarding players for organizing their yard effectively.

: When looking at a salvaged engine or chassis, an overlay highlights which parts in your current inventory are 100% compatible, color-coded by their condition (e.g., green for mint, orange for worn) [2].

: A mid-game upgrade that lets you deploy a drone to tag high-value alloy metals within a pile of junk, saving you from manual digging and improving your efficiency per in-game hour [1].
