Whirligig Girl Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 For some reason, my Tier 5 Sandbox-Mode kerbal engineer can not repair solar panels. Deploy them? Sure. Fix them? No. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yellow Dart Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 According to this official post (scroll down to the last set of tables for the 3 classes), the only engineer-fixable things at this time are wheels at level 3, landing legs at level 2, and repacking parachutes at level 1. Anything else is not fixable at this time.http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/103034-KSP-0-90-Beta-Than-Ever-Grand-Discussion-Thread!Engineer Trait Effects[TABLE=class: cms_table_grid, width: 900, align: center][TR][TD]Effect[/TD] [TD]Level 0[/TD] [TD]Level 1[/TD] [TD]Level 2[/TD] [TD]Level 3[/TD] [TD]Level 4[/TD] [TD]Level 5[/TD] [/TR] [TR][TD]Repair parachutes[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR][TD]Repair landing legs[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR][TD]Repair wheels[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem really is that you can't actually go and pick up the broken pieces (possible idea for a suggestion? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 While repairable landing legs, repairable wheels, and repackable parachutes have been in the game for a little while, solar panels have never been fixable. I don't know if they are going to add repair-ability to them now that there is an engineer class, but I agree that it would be nice. So you're not doing anything wrong, it's just not an option.Cheers,~Claw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecan Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 ...(possible idea for a suggestion? )The sort of thing that will be looked at during beta, I would think. I'm expecting all the specialisations to get more/different jobs, although the pilot seems fairly complete (not what I'd like, but plausible).

Connor the super kid Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hey, if it really bothers you (don’t feel ashamed — it bothers me too) you can go into your save file in a text editor, search for “deployState = BROKEN” and change “BROKEN” to “EXTENDED.” It’s kind of a cheat, but you can send up a random ship and pretend they’re fixing it themselves, eh?

Glad to be here, though! And as Vanamonde said, we are glad to see you here too. There are many good things in KSP. Keep it quiet but since the game's not for the casual player that also means this community is possibly one of the nicest you'll meet in gaming. It's not personal, it's rocket science *grin*.

Well, if you think they should be repairable, you can always open a thread in the Suggestions sub-forum about it. However, since this thread is a gameplay question-- from over four years ago, and long since answered-- further discussion here is likely moot. Accordingly, locking the thread to prevent further confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
