Fabricator trouble
Ok, so 6 tries to fabricate a living chair, I'm giving up. First attempt, sim gets dyed. Second, machine breaks. Third, machine fights back. Fourth, dyed again. Fifth, machine breaks again. Sixth, ma...

The fabricator is hard-coded to break after a certain number of uses. "1" is good, "0" is broken. Every use adds "-0.2". So, after 5 uses, it reaches 0 and breaks.
My mod changed the degrade from "-0.2" to "-0.05" which causes it to break every 20 uses. Worked fine too.
With the latest update from today, they changed it from "-0.2" to "-0.04" which now breaks every 25 uses, which is even better than my mod.
It's good to see they are fixing a few things.

Both I and others have repeatedly had many more uses than the 5 you mention without it breaking. But the question is moot now since the new patch means that it breaks far less often.
- @jpkarlsen I don't know how. The code is extremely straight-forward. No tests, no exceptions, whitelists or blacklists. I tested it many times before I released the mod.

I think you said you were using a community lot object? Maybe it works differently for those. I know there are separate tuning files for community lot fabricators and home fabricators. My tests were all for home ones. No I always use my own fabricator to cut down on having to travel.
It does say -0.2 but of what?
- @jpkarlsen Fully working (new) "Brokenness" is set to 1. Each use "adds" -0.2, so after 5 uses it ends up 0. Broken. Repairing it restores it back to 1.
There's nothing else that alters it, at least there. Unless somewhere else is restoring it's brokenness? That just sounds like a really weird way of doing it. If its doing that, it sounds like another bug to me.
