Can confirm: Have babysat the bot, both before this issue began and currently.
Prior to issue: During crafting, gear would drop below 10%... In the middle of the next synth the repair function would repair the gear in the background.
Currently: Gear breaks, nothing happens. It appears that it will not repair until it needs to renew food at which point it will repair.
It seems as though either the repair function has a lower priority than before or it is set to repair when gear breaks rather than when gear is damaged (though that wouldn’t explain why damaged gear isn’t repaired). I’m not sure what the problem is. Maybe the repair function is unable to repair during crafting?
Additionally earlier this week (Monday maybe) I found that all of my gear was at 100% after a completed synth of over 600 units (Normally gear needs repair at least 5 times over). For all of my gear to be exactly 100% after crafting 600 units it must have been completely broken right before I interrupted the bot.
There is a short term fix for this for crafters: set the CP limit on the crafting window. This will interrupt crafting when your gear breaks and your CP drops below the limit. I tested this and the bot stopped working, it didn’t repair the gear but eventually repaired it when the food needed to be refreshed. Not very efficient but better than losing millions to failed synths. If you have gear that doesn’t add CP then you may unfortunately lose HQ’s to lack of control… still better than a failed synth.
