I'd have thought that's just a collection of already posted ideas, but I get it now, thanks m8!

Real life machines break down regardless if they are turned on or not, why would it be any different here?

Real-life machines degrade much more slowly when shut off than when in use. Rust is slow - wear and tear is fast. I don't think the game models this at all. Even just two different probabilities (meat time between events, I think it's called for random things in the XML), would work.
