#7 days to die repair update

I think the repair penalty is invoking a real world survival technique. Now, how/where to do this is not explained. I've been researching this as well, and there is no information on the Wiki or any other source that would indicate that the repair penalty will be 0 at any point.ДЄccording to this discussion thread on the steam community, apparently you can modify the xml file which will remove the repair penalty. I think the current definitive answer to this is you don't lose the repair penalty. By the time that ran out (granted I wasn't mining constantly), my skill increased enough so that my 2nd one was quality 419. For example, the first Steel Pickaxe I made was quality 263. It's still worth scrapping and building a better one than repairing it, because for me, my tool smithing skill goes up all the time for other things, and I'd rather spend the 5 additional scrap iron and build a better one that mines faster. So thats 100 'forge iron' (not Forged Iron) which requires 20 scrap metal in total. It requires 5 forged steel to produce, each of which requires 20 'forge iron'.

Update (Edit 3): A steel pickaxe will return 15 scrap iron when scrapped, and costs 20 scrap iron to make (again 75%). Due to the speed, I have no reason to use an Iron Pickaxe any longer. Once I find this out (when it wears down to 0) I'll update again. Taking 5 Forged Steel (which costs twice as much as Forged Iron) to create, but an unknown amount returned when the item is scrapped. I have yet, however, to determine how this relates to a Steel Pickaxe. It only takes a few hits to get 3 iron fragments, which is enough to make up the difference between repairing a pickaxe and creating a new one.

Someone else might chime and and report their findings.Д®dit 2: I wanted to also point out that with the advent of getting iron from mining all stone, this produces a practically limitless amount of iron. Now at around level 40, with Quality Joe maxxed out, I consistently find 600 level clothing and tools and other items, which is a great thing.Д®dit: Repairing items may increase your construction tools skill as well, but since I hardly do it, it's not obvious to me. It will cause found items to be 25/50/100 points higher quality. Because of this, I always keep tools that I find that are higher quality than what I can make.ДЄ side note, the 'Quality Joe' (I think it's called) is the first thing I purchase once my Scavenging gets to the required level. I will repair that item when necessary (only after it's unusable) until it gets down to the level where I can craft a better quality tool, then I scrap it. This is also offset by the fact that crafting tools increases your tool construction skill (not necessarily a whole point, depending on your current skill) which will inevitably cause you to create better tools.ДЄs mentioned before, the only exception to this for me is if I find a tool (Iron Pickaxe for example) that is far better quality than I can currently produce.

You only need 3 additional scrap iron to craft an item of the same (or higher, if your skill has increased since) quality. So basically if you scrap a completely broken pickaxe (because tools crafted with forged iron don't 'poof' like stone tools when they get to 0 durability) you get 70% of your original material back. Scrapping an Iron Pickaxe = 7 scrap iron (3.5 forged iron returned to you) Repairing an Iron Pickaxe = 2 forged iron = 4 scrap iron (lost quality) Iron Pickaxe = 5 forged iron = 10 scrap iron One forged iron = 10 iron in the forge = 2 scrap iron The Iron Pickaxe, for example: One scrap iron = 5 iron in the forge After doing some experimentation, I've come to the conclusion that repairing any tools that you make (not counting higher-quality items that are found) is not worth it at all.
