How to make tribe people repair their own stuff?

[Varukaii]

I got a repair bench . and the materials for repair. I assumed once they are out of tool durability they come to repair and go back to work, but that is not the case. How can i make them repair their own stuff?

+1. I have the bench assigned and items to repair in it and it still doesn't work.

@6:55 it begins for repairing

+1. I had two problems. First, I've tried to assign some storing work after the harvesting process but they store the tools even when they are not completly broken. Second, the repair bench only works if you press repair and move the item to the right-window, however, the storing work left the items on the left-window.

Neither of those videos explain how to get tribe people to repair their own tools.

Its not a function that works as of now, dont worry about repairs. Give them 10 of whatever they are using and fill a filtered chest with more. Set them to discard broken. You can even set up a timed crafting order to make 2 more or so per day, depending on how many are being used.

That is quite the materials you would need for something like that
Especially if you make any tier higher than stone tools , aka constantly providing bones and whatnot , since they are uncapable of actually harvesting corpses even if you set them on a patrol path to kill stuff.

A major point advertised by the game trailer is "build fully automated pipelines" well the system is frankly quite faulty, AI has issues with tools and repairs, has big pathing issues, it will try to harvest stuff inside terrain which they can't reach and that just to name a few.

Repair cases are out of control in this game.

Bone is all I've every given tribesman it can be automated a bit when you get Breeding Farms. But unless you have 10 gatherers they are not going to use more tools than depositing whatever chunks and bones you find every once and a while. (also it takes almost as much bone and handles to repair tools as it does to make them so repairing isn't endless either)

This was almost a flawless ai design We've getting them to do everything , but you can't get tham to
Repair that own stuff dammit 😤

You can repair
Your NPC can repair

It's possible okay. Set worker orders and have the materials and proper benches for repair. Wak has a guide, I think I posted it already here. Go watch it, okay? Enjoy!

Ok let me try to explain again : Worker go work > worker tool break > worker says i can't work, tool broken.
What we want : Worker go automatically to repair bench without asigment > repair his tool > go back to work
Which is something that is not possible.

you can assign workers to benches to work, will help this
craft about 10 of each tool type, place in tool box, work never stops
ez pz

Only stone and bone tools will break more often. I still not have issues in bone but aye tomatoe-tomato. Once you get a good crafter, bench him/her. You'll get much higher quality aka durability on your tools. Repairing tools or anything in game lowers the quality/durability over time. So only desirable to repair the good stuff a few times over.

Good luck out there fellow gamers and have fun.

Hopefully this is something that gets fixed in a patch soon, i'd prefer my workers fixing their own tools instead of making me craft dozens of tools for them to keep them working.

Make a storage box for tools, craft bones on butcher, craft wooden handle and craft bone tools, plan this for every 30 minutes.. And let workers discard broken tools. Sometimes I find broken tools in the storage box. And you manually have to put them in the repair box. You can have a worker repair them for you. But they don't do it automatically. You can craft this faster than they can gather and you need lots of storage space if you want to keep up. Good luck
