How exactly does the new "repair" feature works?

[Daniel Prates]

Well... what the title says. The promos only give a superficial explanation. I am specially curious of:

1. What parts are liable to break and demand repairs? Any and all? Engines for instance, do they fail? Tanks leak?

2. Random failures occur? Or breaking happens  only to parts you stressed, such as  wheels, landing gears, or pannels that colided with something?

The only parts that can break currently are rover wheels, extendable solar panels, antennae, radiators and Breaking Ground scanning arms. Engines can't fail, nor can tanks leak.

Random failures don't happen.

Aren't them those who have "ModuleCargoPart" in cfg file?

I.e, as one can presume, the ones which could be placed in inventory abd take some volume.

Thanks mate!

I'll say, it is a bit dissapointing.  I expected something akin to "dangit".  Seems that mod still has a lot of life in it yet.
