Retrofit Problems

[Suicide Junkie]

I'm certain they do get repaired, though.

Perhaps the trick is to have "at least one" item in the priority list, or perhaps you have to make sure to clear the list of components that you either haven't researched yet or that don't exist.

As seen in CBmod:
- The first ship with at least one priority component is picked for repair, otherwise the first available ship with damage is picked.
- Priority components are repaired in the order of placement in the hull.
- Any excess repair points go towards non-priority components in order of placement.
- If any excess repair points still remain, repeat from step 1.

PS:
In previous patches, I have seen problems in which retrofitting a damaged ship in a certain way caused the damaged component count to NOT equal the number of actually damaged components. Repair points might thusly be wasted on a ship which it thinks is damaged, but can't find any components to repair.
IIRC, it may have been when I tried to retrofit away all the damaged components, by making a special design and deleting the corresponding components. (I just wanted to not pay maintenance on those damaged components) Such a retrofit downgrade to an undamaged design may have failed to cause an update check on the damaged component count.

I run some experiments and he are my results:

If all your components are on the right side of the repair priority sceen then nothing gets repaired.

If you only have one component on the right side of the repair priority screen then that component gets fixed first and then the rest in order of placement.

If all components are to the right then they get replaced according to the list.

This means that I was in error when I stated that the componets left off the right side of the list didn't get repaired. they do get repaied if you have one or more components listed to the right of the repair priority screen.
