whatz up with the Repair Bay?

[tumitoto007]

I tried both the CV and the base version and none worked for me
So how do it suppose to work? like I put the set on the CV and try to fix a docked SV with the blueprint I saved and it paused and re-start, paused and re-start.....message saying the ship type can not be fixed.
I also put the set (monitor and Bay) in my base and then I dock my SV right next to it, even touching it, still not working. Is this a bug being addressed? or I am missing something? Plz help. Thanks in advance.

Try checking Repair Area and see if any part of the CV or BA are within the Repair Area

yeah its weird the repair bay picks up objects attached to its own grid, seems like a programming oversight.

This is a pretty common bug. Exiting and reloading the game usually fixes it. If that doesn't work, sometimes removing and replacing the repair bay block will do the trick.

Have you saved a "repair template" for the ship you're trying to repair? To do so, open the ships menu, go to the last page and under the power usage meter (bottom left of the menu) click the button labeled, "Save Repair Template." Once you do this, then the ship can now be repaired.

The repair bay block has to be directly under the ship to be repaired, so best to place it in the floor. Parking a ship next to it will not work as the beam points upward and must intersect part of the ship.

Unfortunately, the repair bay block cannot be rotated to point sideways or downward, so you pretty much have to put it in the floor. I'd so love to just stick one on the side of my base pointing sideways so I can repair huge CVs without them having to fit inside my HV hangar, so I usually find a place outside to put the block.

Hope this helps.

Is it good to save the repair template of a damaged ship ? Or does it only repair it to this saved status then ?

[Snowfire]

it will repair damaged blocks but do not save the ship if it's got missing blocks, or at least you can sve it ofcourse and let it repair damaged blocks but you gotta replace missing blocks yourself.
when the ship is complete again hit save again and the next time you repair it it will also replace missing blocks.

i had a SV that was missing 2/3 of of it's blocks and even the core, placed it on the pad and it got completely repaired :)

did you count the free space of repair? You need 5 block free space around the vessel to make sure to repair or i am mistaken spawning with a platform but i tought it where the saem rules
