Ceilings fans break down and require components despite not requiring them to build.
Built several of the new ceiling fans. They do not take components to build but occasionally break down and require components. Leading to a disparity of multiple cheap but power inefficient fans taking many more components than a single cooler and vent setup for basic air conditioning. As base game items that don't cost components don't breakdown requiring more components.

probably a game issue, if it uses electricity, it can break down and require components

Its a setting in the item if it breaks down or not, not hard coded.

Still occurring as of 1.6.

Also, the games only uses breakdowns from a set list, not item by item.

It appears that the items added by VTE were added into the list of breakdown items. I think this was intentional as the hives added by other VE items do not breakdown.

Yeah I just used the Dubs patch that does away with the dubs ducts and heating in favor of the Vanilla Expanded temp ones but I noticed even having a few fans over a long time with VTE has eaten up a huge amount of components over several years as I have been playing on terraformed venus world builder so it swings between 120-130f in summer to 25-35f in Winter. The VTE fans seem more powerful even if they do not include a lightbulb like in dubs meaning I did not have to do as much in the way of actual coolers once I got fans but 50/100 steel item is gobbling up quite a bit of components each over the course of its lifetime.
