How do you repair?
« on: 25 April 2020, 08:45:26 »
Just started with MM and MekHq. I know this is a stupid question but googling has turned up nothing.

I have two lances of mechs. I have a tech for each and I'm full of astechs. I have ordered all required parts and I can see each repair task with the required minutes to fix the item. I advance several days and nothing changes. This isn't one isolated item, everything from armor repairs, weapon reloads, missing limbs, gyro and engine hits, nothing seems to get fixed.

I gave up on my campaign after several breaches and just started advancing months at a time. It's been 3 or 4 months in game and none of my repair seem to have changed status. What gives? What am I doing wrong?

Did you assign the techs and do the repair tasks?

This is a pretty good video show it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0hGKS-AaLw

Thank you! That video helps. I thought assigning a tech would mean he'd work on the repairs but you actually need to click a task, click a tech and then click the Do Task button. That's a bit more micromanagement than I had expected.

Their is a mass salvage mass repair function but documentation is weak, and it depends on understanding the basics of repair.

Dev Note:
Any users of MSMR that could write up a description of how to set it up and use, it would be appreciated. We would add that to our Wiki
