It's entirely possible it's not this mod causing it. The most likely culprit after that is stock behavior. IIRC I originally installed this mod BECAUSE of MDS Lasers that weren't getting repaired. It seemed like a chronic problem on one particular map.

And although I didn't think to link it to cold waves, it was a map with frequent and harsh cold waves and meteors. Sometimes they overlap which affects how and when I use the lasers.

So it's possible this problem was always there and the mod didn't help with what I installed it for. Couldn't have helped with it in fact, but maybe served to highlight the underlying cause.

We'll see if your changes help. I also figured out a workaround, which is to shut off the frozen building until after it has thawed out.

Yeah, I've heard of that before. I doubt it's this mod causing it since I'm using built in functions to call repairs. I added a fix that seems to work. It should be good for existing frozen buildings, so let me know :) (they will need to try and repair it again, so you'll need to wait for the button to show back up)

I've noticed that on some occasions, the button will disappear from buildings that require maintenance after maintenance has been requested (either because I requested it or because it was requested automatically) but not yet carried out.

If that occurs, drones will never perform maintenance and cannot be directed to service the building. The building must be demolished and rebuilt.

I *think* the sequence of events that can cause this is:
1) building becomes frozen during cold wave.
2) Maintenance is requested (either through UI or automatically)
3) Cold Wave ends and building thaws before maintenance is performed.

Typically this happens to lasers that I tried to repair during cold + meteor and they freeze before being fixed. Or to mines that I requested maintenance to, they break down and freeze then thaw before a drone can get to them. I wonder if this could happen in stock without this mod. Harder to test for that but could indicate an underlying stock problem

Works fine for me, so likely your mods. Load a save then select a maintenance building, quit then upload the log to pastebin.com or email@choggi.org

For some reason, I can't get this one to work for me. Not sure.... maybe it's conflicting with another mod or being overridden... idk... cuz.. I do have over 90 mods installed... lol.

v1.0
Armstring (thanks misukhanov).

Some text strings are missing in the description of the button

Any errors in your log?
%AppData%\Surviving Mars\logs

the button only shows up when it needs maintenance.

THIS did not work for me :(

v0.8
Added remaining maintenance points to mouseover.

Up to you :)

I've always hated doing that. I could live without it, being I'm the only one that seems to have an issue. The drones seem to do the job on the games auto-repair when needed. I just liked the old way. Seems like Dev's always fix what isn't broken.

Thanks for your time. I'm sure you got better things to do.

When I said "The drone one isn't from this mod", I didn't mean it's from a mod, it's built-in, but anyways...


Just to be on the safe side, want to upload a log to pastebin or somewhere, so I can take a look?

I have no other Mods that do anything with repairs, or any errors showing up that I can see. Here's a pic of what I get.

The drone one isn't from this mod, doesn't sound like it working? Any errors in log?

v0.3
Hopefully fixing an issue.

Doesn't seem to work for me. I see the repair button for the Drones only, not for any building. Am I missing something

The buildings aren't in need of repair just yet, but extremely close, and I wanted to get a jump on them. Do I have to wait

We know the game needs micro-managing, but the devs wanted to keep up the illusion it doesn't?

I never understood why it was removed
