mechanic repair bug

[djdunn]

I had 36 sails dmg to them from rnd event went to 43 repaired 1 point instantly. Up to this point everything works. Flying around we see that the mechanic repairs dmg to the ship and in the next encounter it looks fine 36/36 but when i look in Status ship it says 35/36 and i can repair it in dock.

Edit:
It keeps trying to repair it, still shows 35/35 in status and 36/36 in an encounter

Edit: i have 120 cargo and 12 each metal and crystal

Mechanic doesn't make repairs to ship. It prevents ship damage from solar and deep-space accidents

Mechanic does do repairs, and this is a bug.

If you take damage to solar sails from a deep space accident, then eventually the mechanic will repair them. But after the next encounter, the damage returns. This means if the mechanic does a repair, and you land before an encounter, the ship has no damage while on planet. As soon as you take off, the damage is back and you have to land again to fix it.

That part is a bug. But the mechanic only repairs damage immedetly when it occurs. If you have damage from an accident which the mechanic didn't repair immedietly, he won't repair it later, he'll only prevent damage from future accidents.

The mechanic prevents damage, or repairs damage immedietly when it occurs. He won't repair already existing damage.
