Spare Parts Guide
Stock spare parts around observed failure modes. Official descriptions name gears and valves, but do not support a universal shopping list; the useful reserve is the one that protects your current field's most consequential machines without consuming all reinvestment cash.
The field decision
Stock spare parts around observed failure modes. Official descriptions name gears and valves, but do not support a universal shopping list; the useful reserve is the one that protects your current field's most consequential machines without consuming all reinvestment cash.
Official current-build and patch facts are cited below. Suggested checks are editorial guidance; historical demo sources retain their original dates.
Quick facts
- Gears, valves and spare parts are repeatedly named in official descriptions.
- Inventory availability is part of maintenance response time.
- A reserve should follow field criticality and observed consumption.
- Exact prices and durability values must come from the active build.
Walkthrough
- 01
Read the field
Identify which machines currently use each visible part category.
- 02
Stabilize the bottleneck
Rank parts by the downtime caused if that machine stops.
- 03
Record the result
Buy or retain a measured reserve without starving the next operating cycle.
- 04
Choose the next move
Update the maintenance plan after each consumed part reveals a real pattern.

Common mistakes
- Treating an older demo observation as a permanent rule for spare parts.
- Copying an exact cost, rate or coefficient without checking the active build and source date.
- Optimizing gears, valves and spare parts are repeatedly named in official descriptions while a different field bottleneck is stopping the full loop.
Current context: patch 1.0.1. Historical demo mechanics remain qualified; check the source ledger before treating them as current-build behavior.
