I'm just wondering if one of the devs answered this question and I didn't see it. It's just crazy that they have an effectiveness rating and optional components and no one knows if these affect the tool, or if it's just 100% random. If they're not working then fine, but at least tell us so we don't waste time, effort and materials on things that aren't affected in any way by them. I know, it's only one of many issues..but all I want is an answer, I don't even need it fixed--yet.

I've made and used a ton of repair tools. As far as I can tell, the optional components have absolutely no affect on the end product either in experimentation or final stats.

I would have to agree. I have seen no impact of using a tool with less than 10 effectiveness or ones up at 99%.

I usually settle in the middle...I can use good resources and get my repair tools to 88.3% without adding any optional components. These are easy to make and only take 15 resources. Fully experiment them out and you have a very good tool pretty cheap (5 uses).

For 99.9% all components must be top notch and added....but again, I have not seen any reasoning if this is worthwhile. I can also have a weapon at 100/900 show up and BOOM, I get it back to 850/850..then a weapon at 700/900 goes POOF, disintigrates. I don't get it.
