Thanks for your report.
There is no heating in the MOD "Device Maintenance".
The heating is only available in the MOD "Device Energy Management". For this, the MOD "Custom Action" must also be activated.

My machines keep getting damaged right after I get the maintenance message. almost like the timer that checks to see if I didn't do it is broken somewhere.

I'll send you the files soon.

Thank you very much, that helps me a lot to find a BUG ;)

Got to try this out on my first patrol, I had to go up north a build a weather station, I must of damage my deck gun like 2 or 3 times on the way and back, due to bad weather. To bad there is no interaction where I could have sent out a few crew to tie down and cover the gun, for protection.

I believe it was the gun, it was something on the conning tower.

Now with maintenance, there should be a pop-up when I need to maintenance something? Or do I have to check those certain items once in a while for maintenance?

@Royal Raven
I am happy that you are also using this MOD.

An upcoming maintenance is indicated to you via a text message (see screenshot above). Then the oil can symbol will be displayed in color and you can carry out the maintenance. If you do not carry out the maintenance, the device can be damaged after a random period of time (but max. up to 48 hours).
The maintenance work is only carried out after a text message has been sent to the affected device.
Regarding storm damage, deck equipment is damaged randomly. This is not the case with every storm. In real life, devices were damaged even when they were made stormproof.

I correct myself it was not the Deck gun, it was the AA gun, MG C/30 breaking down like 3 times in various storms. I was kind of in a stormy area.

@Zerberr
Hi, please describe your fault step by step. I tried to beginn the maintenance with a mechanic Officer manually. But no spare parts needed and the diesel engines goes no damage.

I had something weird. It said my Electric engines needed maintenance. So I clicked on Red Oil can, nothing happened. I saw both my Engineers were a sleep. So I woke one and walked him over to Electric Engines. I noticed the Red Oil can gone. And now in Tab Menu there is an option to repair the Electric Engines with spare part.

It is like it bugged out, when I was going to do maintenance, but no one was available since they were both a sleep.

I am in normal speed no time compression.

I assume they still work, when underwater and they still run, but I only see one green square of the 4 on the gear icon.

I say between when that first message came up to repair and me trying to do it, was only less than 5 minutes, in real time, not compression.

Well decided to click on that repair option in tab menu that show gear icon, I think that is spare part. The engineer repair it but no spare part was used.

So maybe I feel a little confused about all that.

@Royal Raven
The game behavior looks ok.
For explanation:
When the red oil can is activated (when maintenance is due) the mechanic is automatically instructed to carry out the maintenance. Here, however, automatic repairs must be on in the mechanics' team schedule. If the mechanic is in bed and the bed has a higher priority than the repair, he would only carry out the maintenance when he is back on duty.
If you click on the officer and then manually on the "Repair" symbol on the device, the maintenance or repair will also be carried out. This symbol is not from my MOD but from vanilla.
I have already written a note in the MOD that this must be correctly set in the service plan for maintenance by the mechanic. If possible, the mechanics should take turns in the shift or at least only 1 max 2 hours in between.
I hope I was able to explain the game behavior in an understandable way.
It's just complex ;)

Ah OK. I usually take auto repairs out of the schedule for my guys. I want to control what get repairs and when.

I think I need to follow some steps. Like bring the mechanic out of bed first, then click maintenance.

Thanks foe help, once again.

As of 10/10/21 i am getting an outdated warning

@celticcross98
Thank you for the information. Will customize this ad.
It has no influence on the functionality of the Mod 😉
