Repairing Broken Consoles?

Necrucifer · 2013-09-13T23:35:25.000Z

I searched the forum but most the posts I saw about it were around March to July. I could not find any other post but are the consoles still not repairable?

To my knowledge there’s still no way to repair them.

You can’t even dismantle them. That’s probably the worst part. Imagine the parts!

Bah, lame. I was used to them being useless if broken since March and never thought of it again till I made a garage my home in the middle of a city after clearing out the area around it after boarding the windows up and such. I was hoping they would be repairable so I could have an indefinite light source from it for reading than wasting gas in my lantern at night.

Especially the parts would be useful to of course as well

You COULD use the debug menu to spawn a working console in the place and ditch away reasonable materials.

Fixing them might be nice (the amount of broken consoles in science labs… hnnnng…)
but then again, I’d much prefer to dismantle them and cannibalize them for parts. Anyone know anything that drops processor boards? I’ve tried sounding store alarms to attract police bots but no luck-- and almost every turret I destroy ends up exploding leaving nothing left.

–Thats an idea-- can EMP grenades disable turrets instead of blowing them up? so you could dismantle them?

I forgot how to use that, last time I tried with the controls posted on the wiki for debug it was not working a few builds ago correctly. I hate cheating but since there not repairable at this moment guess I could do that.

As far as I know, I threw an EMP grenade and it destroyed a turret a few builds ago I think it was. Can not remember if it blew up though…do not think it did but do not quote me on that. Worth a try anyway, I only done it once but it was a good bit ago so I do not remember.

I find cell phones all over the place, they give 200 batteries, scrap metal, processor board, and RAM.

Ah, sweet! thanks for the tip Weyrling, I’ve not actually tried disassembling cellphones yet.

Well least I know what they give on disassembling now. I always had a pile of those but never got around to doing it haha.

You’ll find some refined components in popped-open crates. Also, those handheld gaming consoles… might have CPUs and RAM…

Game systems do indeed drop processors and RAM chips.
