[2.0.8] Repair kit not working if sitting in the car - minor annoyance

Post by Belter »

What did you do?
- Stopped my car next to repair sg (an inserter, see screenshot)
- Tried to repair it

What happened?
- Nothing

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
- It should work as normal and repair to work
- OR decide that it is a "feature", so not possible -> message should appear "cannot repair when sitting in the car" or sg. It would be inconsistent imho like I can place transport belts from the car... please fix it :D

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
- Always

Workaround
- Leave the car, do the repair then enter the car again (annoyance)

Version
- 2.0.8 w/Space mod (no other mods currently)

TY for the quick reponse. Not sure why you want this - it would be handy to repair from a car.

In case Wube's decision is to not be able to repair from a car then I'd suggest adding a message that cannot repair from car. Currenlty just nothing happens which is just bad UX. Like the "cannot reach" way.
