Repair

Repair is a mechanic to remove Decay of Components on board the ship and equipment.

Crucial for each repair is the Repair tool that must be equipped in the inventory. It consists of a multitool and a toolbox with 3 own inventory slots for repair parts, which can be crafted at the Craftingstation from collected Resources.

Minor repair parts: Electronic Kit, Mechanics Kit, Computer Kit

Major repair parts: Electronic Parts, Mechanic Parts, Computer Parts

With minor parts, components can only be repaired within one Decay level. With major parts, you can repair them completely.

As long as there is at least one "repair part" in the toolbox, the Player has the permission to repair every broken ship component, even if it’s not optimized for it. The decayed component awaits one proper repair parts like Electronics Parts to be repaired. But players can choose the repair the decayed components with a different part. Repairing something with a non-optimized component causes Decay. If the kit is partially usable, the Decay increases by 50. A component with a Decay Rating of 275 will be repaired only back to 250 instead of 200. If it is not usable at all, the Decay increases by 200 and causes a higher decay level. Some could also be optimized for more than one part or require various parts for different issues.

Most of these Repair items can be found in the Damage Control Stations on the ship.
