Very interesting idea! I have a few questions:

• Have you tested with Angel Bobs?
• What happens when you haven't researched lubricants yet? I see some of the maintenance items depend on them.

Thanks!

Can't tell you anything about bobs/angels. But from what I noticed it works with the Py mods so I presume it just works the same on all buildings.

In my play trough I don't have all the stuff researched yet. Nor do I have a bot system up and running to maintain my buildings (I don't seem to be able to do this by hand). After a while it just says maintained 0% and the status goes away. I presume that means my building is on bad maintenance and wears out quicker.

Hi, the mod is designed to work with Angel's mods as well. If you find some machines that are not covered, please open an issue here on the mod portal.

If you havn't researched all maintenance items (you need to get to early midgame to unlock most items), it is harder to maintain your base. Early on, replacing broken machines by hand is the way to go, but as soon as you have robots running, maintenance will increase the durability of your machines greatly.

If you feel the early game to grinding due to this mod, i recommend using an "early bot" mod like Early construction by Aidiakapi. I'm still balancing all the different features and will probably add some sort of "maintenance station", that acts as an early game roboport.

Thats right!

Great, thanks!

I was going to try it out, but hit this:

Thank you for stress testing this mod :D
I just checked the prototype definitions: Apparently the reactor entity prototype of the the Realistic Reactors mod is created without giving it a selection box. This selection box is required to specify the dimensions of the hidden maintenance chest that is placed behind the entity if maintenance is needed. I've always asumed that entites always need to have a selection box specified... This was wrong, as I learned today.

I'll add a fallback logic to use the collision box in this case. The fix will be ready in the next few days. Thanks for your report!

Thank you for the quick turnaround :-)
