2. A percentage value, which indicates by how much a given part can be improved, is random.
3. If you won't manage to repair a part it will be destroyed.
4. You can increase a chance for repairing (50% is the basic value) by developing repair abilities and get up to 95%.
5. Not all parts can be repaired - in some cases it is physically impossible, you also can't repair parts, the condition of which is only at a few percent.
6. Sell those parts that you can't repair.
7. Don't try to repair valuable parts that are still in good condition - you can use them in new orders so you shouldn't risk with having those items destroyed.

A good idea is to quickly develop repair abilities and save money by not having to buy new parts and, instead, repairing them and selling old parts after repairing those parts (this is worth doing).
