Repairing Bug II

[Nixit]

Well, now it doesn't even say if it used or not.

Gah - my Aki character is stuck on a repair that was supposed to take 4 hours and it's been about 2 days - and she has someplace she needs to be going.

This is what I get for not reading the forum for a few days....

Help...please

Tiredness and health affect repair times just like other projects. I have a character in prision working on a 4 hour repair project. 2 days later and it's just over 8% done. Yay me!

[kinvoya]

I have a char in a town where two people who aren't the least bit injured or tired have been working on the same 4 hour repair project for two days and they are about 4/5 of the way finished with it.

I'm afraid to do anything.

There's another lil problem with repairing, you can't stop repairing once you start..is this intenional? I think it's silly...I want to be able to stop it and go back to it later like any normal project.

[The Industriallist]

It's a consequence of the missing closures I noted...so it's not deliberate. Just a nasty bug.

the 'I can't stop working on it weird tabby thing' seems to be fixed now...

(though the timing still seems screwed - as does the description on the activity list - and I'm too scared to cancel or try it on roads...)

Thank Jos for being able to stop repairing!

Now I can work on note dragging and not have to wait 20 days to finish fixing my shield.

So do we know if the longterm repair is going to be more cost efficient than the labor of building it from scratch? I have not tried to repair anything but I would like to know.

I'd say try it and find out, but that would almost be chatting in there, so I won't.

I've lost track of all the changes so I have two questions.

1) Does it still take way longer to repair something than it's supposed to?

2) Can things be repaired while traveling?

I'm afraid to click anything. So I guess I have another question.

3) Do items still disappear if you do the wrong thing?

Oh, and also

4) If you start repairing something is it unusable (and unmoveable) until it's finished repairing?

1: Things seem much more reasonable now. A handful of hours at most, allegedly, time may not be moving as planned.

2: I don't think that was intended, although that doesn't seem fair to people on boats, if that's included in travelling...

3: I dunno, maybe, but you can get it back. Read the realted threads on that for specifics.

4: Yes and I dunno, and there may be something unexpected that might still be in the code for what happens when a person who's repairing something gets dragged off.

Hope that helps.

How many hours can one hold in a hand, exactly?

[kinvoya]

Five

EDIT: I wanted to see if my char could make a repair while on a boat so she started a 6 hour repair of a new bone needle. Now she's stuck in the way that chars were getting stuck on land before. Can't cancel it, can't put it down. So she'll have to finish it, I guess. Hopefully it won't take three days.

I still don't know if chars are suppose to be able to repair tools while traveling on a boat or not but I definitly think they need to be able to do that.

Id always though repairing would be a project just like resting.
