Can't Repair the Wrench?

[Pyros]

So, I am new to this game, but I found a wrench and it says you can repair it with forged iron. I have 30 forged iron in my pack, but the repair button stays greyed out. Am I missing something?

[Podster]

a forge?

[Pyros]

I have a forge, but I am not sure how to use the forge to repair something...

[almighty_hood]

you need the recipee for wrench to build/repair them

[mpeijzel]

Didn't they change the repair material to Steel ingots in the latest snapshot version (A15B94)?

EDIT: I mean: use Forged Steel (instead of the forged iron that was used in older versions)? In that case, having just Forged Iron is not enough - you need Forged Steel instead in order to repair a wrench.

maybe they did, no idea myself.. but if he cant make a wrench with forged iron because he hasnt found the schematic he cant repair 1 either...


but by the time he finds the schematic for wrench its just better practice to make a new 1 to evole the skill and durability of wrench anyways. scrap the broken wrench when its of no more use tbh

I also thought that you no longer needed the recipe/schematic for a wrench, but I am not 100 percent sure. I thought TFP removed that requirement in b94.
You still need a workbench to craft a wrench, though.

[almighty_hood]

well he didnt say its an a15 exp game yet.

dont think you need workbench on a14 just the schematic

[almighty_hood]

yes schematic only, and better to scrap the old make new when you have it, as you gain skill points towards the related skill tree for doing this and dont loose the wrench rating/usefulness

Wrenches now require steel to make, so you may need to have invested in the first level of the steel perk to repair them. This is a guess; I haven't tested it.

They completely changed up the wrench. It requires steel and a workbench to make forged seel to repair. Oddly enough the workbench requires a wrench to make so you need to find them.

I'm not in A15, so I believe for me it still requires forged iron...
