RepairMechanics

Vanilla repair paths: duct tape, Welding Torch / Arc Welder build-state revert, what cannot be repaired, and the resource-cost-to-time-cost ratio.

Vanilla repair mechanics

Duct tape fixes suits/solar/portable/canisters; left-click-hold for normal, right-click for suits. Cost: tape consumed, scales with damage. Crafting: Standard 1g Iron (Fabricator) or 2g Iron (Tool Manufacturer); Mk II 2g Iron + 1g Electrum. Suit caveat: repairs rupture, does NOT restore durability. Build-state repair: walls, frames, pipes, cables revert to earlier build states; reapply original materials via Welding Torch (66% CH4/34% O2 canister) or Arc Welder (battery). Unrepairable: AIMEe, Rover Mk I, Wreckage (remove with Angle Grinder, rebuild). Resources consumed are trivial (grams of iron); real cost is player time.
