When I try to repair an item with the hammer I have to look (Try) throughout the structure until I find a spot that works. This sucks!!!
Hey there! Thanks so much for your post. I have edited the post title so we can better identify it but if you feel we have changed the meaning, please feel free to edit it! We've also moved this post over to feedback based on internal discussions - Steph
The repair mechanic is pretty non-functional. I hunt and hunt for the trigger point where the Simple Hammer (in my case) will effect a repair. Most recently the knive caused a great deal of damage when trying to skin a boar that fell ON the stairs into a building. Repairing structures in this case would leave a better opinion.
Similar issue in offline mode. Most of the time the hammer isn't making contact with the item I'm trying to repair. So far I'm struggling with the following - Crude structures, shelving (not sure how they got damaged), plant boxes, and all but the fancy fancy storage box.
