When to repair

[iron hornet]

So something that would really help with villagers and guards would be setting a slider bar for the amount of durability a weapon/tool should reach before automatically being brought in for repair.

The only reason I see this as almost a necessity is guards/reservists will take out weapons and shields with 3-4 hits left on them, and then break both their shield and weapon in the beginning of a fight, only to be useless.

You can kind of make a work around for it by equipping then with two weapons, but the shield would still be an issue.

there is a slider in the squad widget. We know that it's not very convenient to use, but it's a temporary solution for now

basically you set the threshold of durability and on the next stock up command npcs with weapons below threshold will drop them for repair and grab something instead

Do other npc's automatically repair said items then?

[zenith bison]

nope

Only Companions and only on stock up. As I said, that's a temporary solution

So you don't need to duel npc to break things manually

And they don't drop them "for repair," they just drop them. Currently, no weapon or tool is ever repaired unless it is at 0% durability.
