Time to give the Repair skill a bit more value - this dml mod will allow you to:

- repair destroyed turrets. once a von Braun turret gets destroyed, its corpse will get spawned like usual, however the top will stay attached to it. the bottom can be looted as always, but you can now also select the turret top to get the repair console, and after a successful repair, a new, friendly turret will be spawned from the corpse (it doesn't matter whether the turret that has been destroyed was friendly or not, the new turret will always be friendly). the Rickenbacker turret works differently - it will simply break/power down and emit sparks until repaired. currently requires repair skill 3 for VB turrets, 4 for Rick turrets, and 50 nanites.
- repair damaged medbeds. skill 2 required, successful repair will produce a normal incomplete medbed.
- detach activation keys from complete medbeds. skill 5 required, successful repair will detach the key and make the medbed incomplete again. you will also be able to use auto-repair units, effectively trading them for medbed keys.
- also fix turrets with maintenance tools (skill 3 required for VB turrets, skill 4 for Rick turrets), currently heals 6hp per one skill level (can be disabled by deleting maintain.dml in the dbmods folder).


needs SS2tool patched install (ND 2.48+), can be activated mid-game, but only turrets destroyed after activating the mod will be repairable. works with vanilla, SCP and most likely all FMs. Secmod has its own way of repairing turrets and medbeds, and activating the Repairman mod will do nothing.

Thanks for this, mate. Will it also be added to SCP, too, either as an optional or permanent fix?

it changes game mechanics, so that's a no as far as SCP integration goes - for the moment, it will be available as an (optional) minimod.

might become a part of the not yet existing/hypothetical enhanced fork of SCP in the future - basically, once the amount of available minimods reaches a certain number, putting them together into one big enhanced package will be considered.

OK, thanks.

1.01 is live - turret heal capability is now in.
