About this mod
-Undocked ships will suffer wear and tear if their service crews are fewer than 50% capacity.
-Service crews of 50% or more prevent (and repair) wear and tear. I.e. service crews cannot repair more than the amount of wear and tear.

Mod effects

-Service crews of 50% or more prevent (and repair) wear and tear. I.e. service crews cannot repair more than the amount of wear and tear.
Requirements
SirNukes Mod Support APIs mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/503) - for Lua Loader and Simple Menu Options
Kuertee's UI Extensions mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/552) - Modded Lua files with callbacks to allow more than one mod to change the same UI element.
Wear and tear
Wear and tear is hull, engine, and shield percentage damage. It cannot damage the hull or component of less than 25%.
Undocked ships suffer wear and tear at the rate of:
2% every hour when fewer than 25% service crew
1% every hour when between 25% and 49% service crew
The skill of the crew further modifies these rates.
The lesser the total skill below 50%, the more wear and tear is suffered.
The greater the total skill above 50%, the less wear and tear is suffered.
Note that wear and tear are applied to all ship sizes, it looks like engines and shields of only L and XL ships are affected.
Preventing and repairing wear and tear
Service crews of 50% or more than capacity prevent wear and tear and repair any wear and tear suffered.
The rate of repair while undocked is:
1% every 10s when between 50% and 74% service crew
2% every 10s when more than or equal to 75% service crew
And while docked:
1% per 10s when fewer than 25% service crew
2% every 10s when between 25% and 49% service crew
3% every 10s when between 50% and 75% service crew
4% every 10s when more than or equal to 75% service crew
The skill of the crew further modifies these rates.
The lesser the total skill below 50%, the less wear and tear is repaired.
The greater the total skill above 50%, the more wear and tear is repaired.
Service crews cannot repair hull, engine, and shield damage MORE than the amount of wear and tear they suffered.
Note that the base game's auto-repair by engineers (i.e. service crews) and repair drones of ships still function.
Their repairs are simply taken into account by the mod.
Service crews still cannot repair more than the amount of wear and tear even AFTER the repairs from the base game's engineers and repair drones.
For those interested, I describe below this readme the base game's auto-repair by engineers (i.e. service crew) functionality.
Dock for running repairs AI
Your wingmen will request permission to dock for running repairs via Comm when they suffer more than 10% wear and tear.
If you deny their request, they won't request to dock again for 30 minutes.
Your other ships will auto-dock in your ships or stations near them or neutral or friendly stations near them.
Map menu and Dock for running repairs command
When SirNuke's Mod Support APIs mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/503) is installed:
-ships with wear and tear are listed amongst your Property Owned list,
-the "Dock for running repairs" command becomes available
Note that these features will not be compatible with 3rd-party mods that change these UI functions:
ui.addons.ego_detailmonitor.menu_map.createPropertyOwned ()
ui.addons.ego_detailmonitor.menu_map.createPropertyRow ()
Configuring the mod
These mod options are configurable/togglable when SirNuke's Mod Support APIs mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/503) is installed:
-affect hulls
-affect engines
-affect shields
-wear and tear rates with service crew at fewer than 25%, between 25% and 49%, between 50% and 74%, more than or equal to 75%
-repair rates with service crew at fewer than 25%, between 25% and 49%, between 50% and 74%, more than or equal to 75%
-account for crew skill less than 50%
-account for crew skill more than 50%
Install
-Unzip to 'X4 Foundations/extensions/kuertee_wear_and_tear/'.
-Make sure the sub-folders and files are in 'X4 Foundations/extensions/kuertee_wear_and_tear/' and not in 'X4 Foundations/extensions/kuertee_wear_and_tear/kuertee_wear_and_tear/'.
Uninstall
-Delete the mod folder.
Troubleshooting
(1) Do not change the file structure of the mod. If you do, you'll need to troubleshoot problems you encounter yourself.
(2) Allow the game to log events to a text file by adding "-debug all -logfile debug.log" to its launch parameters.
(3) Enable the mod-specific Debug Log in the mod's Extension Options.
(4) Play for long enough for the mod to log its events.
(5) Send me (at [email protected]) the log found in My Documents\Egosoft\X4\(your player-specific number)\debug.log.

v5.1.0313, 31 Oct 2022:
-Bug-fix: Ships with less than 25% hull with any amount of wear and tear were constantly docking to do running repairs on the wear and tear - regardless of wear and tear amount.
v5.1.0308, 29 Sep 2022:
-Bug-fix: The mod was repairing damage when they should only be repairing wear and tear.

-Bug-fix: Ships in fleets with Auxiliaries (i.e. resupply and repair ships) now request repairs only every 30 min or when the ship's hull is at 50% or less.
