Salvage spare parts.

[Fisken]

Is that not being done by default when the skill has been acquired, so why have it as a task in the task settings?

[ELB]

Make it a higher priority.

Standard is 5 or something like that

The engineers will collect scrap from major repairs with the one skill. The other skill allows them to use two scrap pieces to make one spare part. The task in the officers task list is for making spare parts out of scrap metal, not for collecting scrap metal.

Yes but Is that not being done by default when the skill has been acquired, so why have it as a task in the task settings?

Without a task you'd have to manually order the officer with the skill to do it.

I don't know what you mean by 'done by default's though. Nobody will do it without a task. Maybe one of your officers has a role that includes that task and he will just do it when it's his top prio.

Well i mean that beffor as soon as i gave them the skill they collected scrap parts and then on acasions he started making new spare parts without me telling him to do so, thats why i found it strange that it is a task in the taskmanager.

I have never had that task as a priorety beffor they have just done it for some reasun anyway.

It's in the list of the starting role for the torpedo mechanic iirc. If he has finished loading and maintaining all torpedos he should be free to produce spare parts.

Well its just that i never use the task setting for that, thats what have me confused, they are doing it even if you dont have it as a priorety in your shedul then, i have set it to 0.
