Repair Bay Video Guide

I always have CV landing platform elevated, or in space, and did not know about this problem with clipping into the ground. Thanks!

Happy to help!

I quite often take over Zirax bases and they usually have a tower. I place the repair bay at the top of the tower and the console inside. This is for CVs as my carrier has a repair bay inside for smaller vehicles. I have had some issues with an orbital repair bay, but I have a quite large carrier so it is hard to place it low enough without going too low. I keep the settings on automatic with a lot of resources.

Very smart!

What if i added something (say a turret) but forgot to save template, when i go to repair to template will it delete the turret? or will it remain and it only touches the damaged/ missing blocks?

[@akevabanshee3632]

Repair pad only repairs damaged or missing blocks, it does not replace blocks. So if you damaged the ship then say re-added some thrusters and a core in any space other than where they where on the pre-damaged build then you would need to remove them before repairing it.

Can I still repair a ship to template if the core is gone with like 40% of the ship? Do I have to place a new core exactly where the previous one was?

I only installed the bare minimum to be able to dock to another ship and carry back the wreck, I can remove those parts no problem. My issue is that part of the ship where the core originally was, is entirely missing now, so I was hoping the repair station can rebuild a ship without a core installed at all, and add it back by itself or at least I can briefly attach a temp core somewhere else and replace it once the ship is restored. But I'm getting the blocked error anyways, probably because the remaining half of the ship is lying on it's side.

@@sajtosrud576 If the backend is still there place the new core someplace you know there was nothing else placed.

@@akevabanshee3632 We ended up building a brand new ship, but that could have been worked too, thanks for the idea anyway.

Im having issues of it consuming the material and not reparing.

That's odd. Try picking it up and placing it back down again. Think I've seen that once and doing that fixed it. Also as always. Relog. That fixes most bugs or odd game behavior.
