Neat! I definitely think you could benefit from a better tutorial. When you first start its difficult to understand whats going on and what tools fix what problems.  I also think some sort of visual indicators for each symptom would help you locate problems more easily as it is difficult to understand how they relate in a long list. The art was really nice and pretty funny (especially the weapon arms). and the sound design and music were great (the robot voice was a great touch!). I would suggest would be the cursor placement for the tools consistent (like always in the top left)  as sometimes I couldn't tell where my cursor actually was and also adding some indicator for a part being missing/removed.

sometimes i wasn't sure what tool to use and after an incorrect tool usage i had to replace the part completely... but then i understand what tool to use. can you rate my game btw?

I made it so that you are (sometimes) punished for using the wrong tool - otherwise you can just spam every tool everywhere to fix all problems. But I agree it can be hard to know in the beginning, you have to really want to figure it out and I get that many players will not have the patience to deal with that. Especially if they're unlucky and get a hard problem in the beginning (they are randomly generated). Will have to think about that. Thanks for the feedback and I've rated your game, I really liked it!

fun game, but i dont understand how to fix certain problems

Any ideas how I could make it easier? There is an easy mode in settings that makes electrical and power problems more obvious. Maybe that should be on by default?
