At TNF we trying to create more hardcore and realistic environment for players, so game would be more like "Mad Max", rare decent firearms and ammo.

I thought that original repair system was too simple and casual for us, so i made some changes till we rework craft/materials more seriously:

1) weapons and armor require some tools and materials for repair, depending on quality and complexness of item (zip gun repaired by any junk with bare hands and plasma gun require expensive and rare plasma transformers and supertoolset).
2) items get bonus or penalty to repair check depending on complexness of item (zip gun +50 repair, power armor -70), so pretty much everyone could repair his low-tech equipment, but for complex stuff you should look for decent tech guy.

For each item or group of items there are set of materials and most cheap used for repair, if there are none at all you get message about materials or tools you need. As you see for now this script pretty simple and lack of choise for player - you cant chose material to repair with, if you want to use more expensive ones.

I dont mind some feedback, not about this suggestion being good or bad (i already know exactly how it worked out in game), but some ideas and solutions to improvement or organizing (like adding menu for optional materials using and adding bonuses/penalty/restrictions for different material choice or such).

So basically: low tier can be fixed by anyone but for higher tier you need repair alt.

It would help new players but they will eventually make the repairer alt anyway. In addition to fix a plasma you need another plasma so that counts as expensive mats. The suggestion was well presented and all but it wouldn't bring anything better to the game since the old conditions would still count.

It would be nice if there this kind of a thing would be an alternative to fix-items-with-same-items repair system. It technically could lessen the amount of crafter alts needed, if someone could be able to repair an item with the same item AND materials, so there would be no reason for him to make xyz-crafter for making a replacement weapon for the original one, and then using the original one to repair the newly-crafted one after it gets enough deterioration.

[runboy93]

Repairing need always repair alt :/
But still you used time to write suggestion and it looks fine

[5me0]

Second the idea of using material to repair, just seems logical.

I can't find the threads where something like that was suggested... anyway i do hope something like it will be implemented sooner than soon

Fixing an item ONLY with another of the same type is pretty unbalanced
