I am playing for 4 hours so far and didn't see a single event.
I'm playing with Angel's and a bunch of other mods. I doubled the lifetime and time between events (24 hours and 25 minutes). From what I can tell the maintenance events should apply to angels stuff (crushers/sorter/etc.) because they're just assembler internally, right?
Thanks for trying this mod :)
To answer your first question: Every machine gets some bonus time if initially placed, and this time is depending on your settings (it is 6 x ~24 minutes in total).
Always try to get as much maintenance done as possible. No maintenance means that your machines age 200% as fast. If you're able to satisfy say 50 percent of the requested maintenance items demand, then the machine will "only" age 100% faster. It is always worth the effort to maximise maintenance, because in the long run you will reduce machine down times and need less replacements.
