Flaw in the way repairs work now

[fidach]

Because machines and coils have different amounts of ‘condition’, if you repair on the machine you cannot check if coils are fully repaired without moving to a coil, which kinda impinges on what this update was for!

And anyone who is planning on hiding their coils, will never know if they are fully repaired.

I guess it probably makes no real difference, but it would be something that niggles at my brain.

It probably relates to a previous post I made about coil condition, in the way that works.

Machines, coils and condition

I nearly put this in support, but I don’t think it’s a bug as such, just an imbalance or quirk. I’ve mentioned this before but got some screenshots to help illustrate. My example is on a mixer with max coils. Mixer aand coils were fully repaired at the same time, so all starting with max condition. After x amount of use they condition bar is at the same point in both: [PS_Messages_20190304_230738] [PS_Messages_20190304_230802] Let’s call it 50%. A look at the mixer condition bar inside …

Same as this?

Machine and coil hp not merging

I’ve noticed that when repairing my machines, the hp bar on top was not from all the coils + machine so when it was full my coils were still damaged. Only way I had to know when all coils were good to go was when the repair log stopped showing on the side of the screen.

Yep, missed that when looking to see if anyone else reported!

Sorry for the duplicate…

Yeah the health bar of the block you’re hitting should be the average of all connected machine blocks.

But I have noticed that if you look to the right of your screen where you can see how much damage you’re repairing to check if all coils are repaired as well, when it doesn’t scroll up anymore they are done!

Still the health bar should show for all…

Yeah I agree the wear should be equal across all coils along with the machine.

I had a machine and all the coils but one get repaired. Then I saw that just one coil was still not done. They were all at the same rate prior to repairing.

I think it should display the weakest or lowest heath of everything connected to it.

Let’s wait for this to be fixed! Meanwhile just pay attention to the log or your xp gain

[vdragon]

I’ve added a note to the database about this. In the meantime, you can still fully repair machines until the XP and log messages stop as already suggested.

I found if I repair coils only it fixes all including machine. But if fix machine it won’t do all

[ghandymarshall]

I thought this as well. It only seemed to affect coils that were worn before the update.

So if coil a was at 50% coil b 65% and the machine at 90% once the machine was fully repaired the lowest coil stopped moving.

I simply repaired all the coils instead of the machine before relocating them to hidden spots. Once moved and i repaired the machine it did then repair all. Minor inconvenience only for me as i moved everything
