Q. How does modifying components work now? It brings up a list of all of your components in the category you're looking at and when you click on one you get a message along the lines of "Our engineers estimate they can improve this part by xx% for $xxxxx.xx" but nothing seems to happen when you hit the button?
S. I suggest that it would be better if the component modification worked like making new model year and new trims of vehicles does. That way, if you wanted to make a hot version of a car alongside the normal one you could "modify" your engine by simply upgrading aspiration and fuel type (assuming that's how valve trains eventually get implemented) and maybe bump a few sliders up rather than having to design an entirely new engine.
The same thing would be handy for improving components before building a new model year of one of your cars.
Ive used modifying components before, when i hit that button you mention, it does change the required cash to modify it again if you exit the screen then come back. (or at least i think it does, it certainly changes it for next month)
Like several buttons in Gearcity, i assume it does its job but just doesn't immediately inform you that you've already pressed the button or give you confirmation/immediate feedback.
