Why is there no wearout anymore?

[Dr. Z]

In the early Alphas your buildings got damage over time and needed repair. Why was this removed, I think it would be an interesting thing to consider when e.g. building a far away thermo generator. Especially with the function that only things n your homezone get repaired this could lead to interesting situations.

Because repairing thousands of things every day would become very bothersome and the AI is already overworked as is.

[Dr. Z]

I liked that there was something necessary to keep your base running. And I'm not talking about thousands of things every day Mr. Townley, just as it was in the early builds, maybe a bit less.

In my opinion, it was more of a nuisance than an interesting gameplay feature; I think it was a good decision to remove it.

There is a nuclear reactor mod here that does that, it's so bad that I choose not to use it because of that feature.
