Efficient Base Repair - V3.0

Inspired by ocbClaimAutoRepair, this mod adds a new block that allows you to efficiently repair and / or upgrade your base while dynamically displaying useful repair statistics.

Almost fully customizable, this mod allows you to choose your own balancing settings. You can configure it through XML files to have an overpowered behavior, instantly repairing your entire base without any required materials. Or, you can listen to the reasonable voice in your head and choose a small repair rate to slowly repair your base over time, stopping when it's out of resources.

This block is unlocked at level 60 of repair tool skills and can be crafted in a workbench with forged steel, electric parts, and a car battery.

        FAQ

        I Accidentally deleted TFP_HARMONY, how to get it back ?

        • []In steam, go to your games library and search for 7 days to die.[/]

          []Look for properties / local files / check local files integrity.[/]

          []Once the checking process is over, the folder TFP_HARMONY should be back in your mods folder[/]

          How to Customize ?

          Once the installation is done, go to blocks.xml and look for the `Specific properties` section.

          Once you have set up your own balancing options, restart the game or the dedicated server.

          How 'Efficient' is it?

          It will be as efficient as you want it to be!

          With the default settings, you can expect to repair about 100 hit points per game tick (on game tick ~ 2s), but you can configure it to instantly repair over 100,000 blocks! Obviously, there will be a (minimal) cost in terms of game performance. For small structures, you may not notice the calculation time, but for structures over 100,000 blocks, be mentally prepared for a wait of between 0. 5 and 2 seconds.

          So yes, it is efficient! (Much more so than manually searching for damaged blocks.)

          I have set the RepairRate to 100 but it repaired 120. Why?

          This is normal. The specified RepairRate is only a target. The actual amount of damage repaired is based on the amount of material taken from the container.

          For example, if one unit of ResourceConcrete repairs 120 damage points but you specified a RepairRate of 100, then the repaired amount will be 120, and no more blocks will be repaired in this tick since the limit of 100 repairs per tick was reached.

          Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?

          Yes, but be aware of the following points:

          • []This mod is not EAC compatible.[/]

            [*]EfficientBaseRepair does not check if the block you are trying to repair is inside your land claim or not. It can repair blocks much farther away than the maximum distance covered by your land claim bl
