Tribesmen shoud repair their broken stuff

[๖̶ζ͜͡althanis]

That would be so good. The only option to throw all the broken stuff away is sad. For thje bone stuff it might be okay, but for higher stuff I don't want to waste the material. And repairing the stuff via the repair bench is working, sure, but not the way. Would be glad to see this feature soon.

Me to! Looking for a possibility to put a Chain of Work together, so the broken Tools can BE Put in repair bench and the npc repairing IT.
... didn't find a way to do so ...or maybe IT IS somehow possible?

I am going to guess they do not want to do this on account of the durability loss. If you automate repair then tribesmen will use tools till they have no durability and 1 swing will break it. This will end up costing the player more too because the lower durability on gear the more often they have to repair and too many repairs is more expensive than making a new tool.

People keep wanting automatic repairs because early game stuff breaks easily. The further in you are the less you repair stuff not just because better gear have more durability but because they are more efficient as well.

It would be better if the tribe members put their broken tools in a chest and then you decide for yourself whether it should be repaired because:

1. The durability of tools, weapons, etc. decreases with each repair and you have to decide whether the repair is still worth it

2. I don't want the tribe members to waste resources on repairs uncontrollably.
