Cataclysm-dda: Vehicle construction does not accept wire

[Funguss]

A simple thing that has bugged me for years. When building a vehicle out of wire you first need to use a frame which you later deconstruct, as wire is not a valid component in the construction menu. This should be included in the recipe.

@Soup-de-Loop as this is a vehicle part from blazemod.
Wire will need to be added as a possible component for "Start Vehicle Construction" by giving the wiring vehicle part the INITIAL_PART flag.

[Funguss]

Ah, that so? Is blazemod no longer supported then?

[Kilvoctu]

At the moment, blazemod is obsoleted, but it's being reworked by Soup in #37497 to be reborn after 0.E.

If you'd like to add this feature in the meantime, go to the blazemod folder and open blaze_other_parts.json. Then go down to the flags for "wiring". It'll say something like:
"flags": [ "FOLDABLE", "AISLE" ]
change it to
"flags": [ "INITIAL_PART", "FOLDABLE", "AISLE" ]

Ok, I thought "yeah, this is a simple fix, I should learn how to do a JSON PR at least" but I can't seem to find the tutorial. I'm pretty sure there's one out there? I don't suppose you have a link?

I hear and obey, thank you for bringing this up- I thought I knew the flag to add, but it’s still a fantastic attitude to have and it helps relatively newbie contributors like me feel a little less stressed trying to figure out what needs to be done. Should be committed within the hour.
