repair tools recipes

After review, we have decided that we have no plans to change the repair process into a crafting recipe that would allow unintended full automation. While it is still possible to purchase tools for repairs and resell the repaired ones, the integrity system has changed how repairs are approached and the implementation of recycling in upcoming Update 14 will allow to grind down used tools to get garbage which can then be used in a sorter to gain some components back. I'm hence closing this submission, however please feel free to submit a new suggestion taking into account the changes since then if you feel there is still changes needed beyond a sole automation of repairs.

Most servers also use the Whetstone mod making repairs essentially pointless. I'd suggest requesting your server to add such mod as it's a very good feature which allows remote repairs of tools. It won't solve any issues with Blacksmithing having little to actually do in their role, but it will at least make the process of repairing more streamlined for everyone. If its White Tiger you're playing on well you'll have to stick with what they offer and when they make changes.

See Jens' comment.

It seems like it’s not actually set up where blacksmiths are more efficient then repairing them ourselves. Non-blacksmiths can repair iron tools for 5 iron ingots just like blacksmiths can as long as they’ve purchased and “learned” the skill, but not necessarily used the star to take the skill. From my understanding, there’s a perk where it makes it more efficient? Didn’t check that for myself, just heard it verbally from a friend who took the skill. But yeah it seems the best way is to “learn” the skill, and repair it yourself by just buying the iron…
