i noticed the Durability Indicator on my Enhanced Minigun was downwardly nigh one-half, and so I popped it into the Repair Station. A niggling window appears telling me "no tin can do" (I paraphrase here). And even so....AND Notwithstanding, the status window for said Minigun indicates "7 repairs left". "WTF", I replied (the long version).
So, are we gonna be able to postpone replacement of enhanced weapons? Probably not because of the P seudo-Realism Exploit Balance Protoco l. BTW, "Repair Station" is a misnomer. To repair is to restore to 100%. This unit only restores to a bottom percentage. Hence, it is a Replacement Postponement Device (RPD).

I "repaired" my T2 Drill when it was down to 1/4 to have information technology come up upwardly to less than 1/ii. There must be a huge roll of Duct Record inside the station to wrap effectually the paw grip to make information technology last a piddling longer.

If postponing the replacement of enhanced weapons is not to ne allowed, and then someone should edit the status windows for them to say "Rapairs left: N/A".

Yeah, I know there is a little footnote saying "An enhanced weapon cannot be repaired." I don't care. it'south like saying "Jaeger Schnitzel is delicious." and add a footnote, "You cannot eat Jaeger Schnitzel!"

It's just wrong.

Repair station isn't really necessary.
Y'all could simply edit the config file to remove the ability to repair and remove the repair station.
Honestly, I usually stop up with far too many enhanced weapons, weapon kits, medium armor and heavy armor to ever need a repair station.

Well, skilful for you. Currently, I have only one enhanced Minigun, 1 enhanced shotgun and one enhanced rocket launcher and I would like to keep them.

What are people shooting and mining that y'all ever demand to repair tools and weapons?
I've never had anything pause on me. The simply things I've ever repaired is armor, and I'm not even certain armor immovability matters.
I had an enhanced burglarize become downwardly to like half one time, shooting my way through 10 PoIs which gave me like eight more burglarize upgrade kits.

And I sell my drill every fourth dimension I visit a trade station. 2000 credits for a used drill. Can always make another, fresh one.

I'one thousand not a fan of the current repair mechanics either - it's just a experience bad moment when you 'repair' your stuff and it's still crappy durability and you lot know information technology's just closer to take to be discarded instead of being repaired and total performance lodge. I'd like to maintain and go on my stuff in good condition all the time - but it actually means that it just breaks faster because of the repair limit!
I like what vii Days to Die have - you tin combine like items to make one better quality/durability item.

And by the time you lot've raided enough POIs to really break them, you'll take found the upgrade kits to make more.
I'm not even sure if information technology's realistically possible to 'run out' of enhanced weapons correct now, honestly. I accept plenty to make something like xx unlike enhanced weapons right now and I haven't even gotten through 1/5 of the durability of any of the ones I use.

edit: Also, you lot do realize you tin can just buy the kits, right? The weapons store on orbital trade stations sells most (all?) of them, and they price approx half what a suit of medium armor sells for. And I dunno nearly you, but I find a LOT of medium armor.
