About Repair Control
Repairing an item below full condition in vanilla Rust permanently lowers its max condition. The "red bar" cap never comes back, even after the item is repaired to 100%. Repair Control removes that penalty.
Per-item blacklist
Most "no penalty" plugins are all or nothing. Repair Control lets you exempt specific items by shortname, so problem items (jackhammer, chainsaw, whatever your server's economy needs to keep scarce) can keep degrading normally while everything else stays protected. Manage it live with /repaircontrol, no config editing or reload required:
- /repaircontrol list — show blacklisted items
- /repaircontrol blacklist <shortname> — exclude an item from protection
- /repaircontrol unblacklist <shortname> — restore its protection
Fixes items that are already damaged
Most plugins like this only stop future condition loss. Items that already lost max condition before install stay broken until a full server wipe or restart. Repair Control scans and restores existing items on load and every reload: online and sleeping players' inventories, world storage containers, dropped item stacks, and reconnecting players. No restart needed.
Optional permission gate
Restrict the effect to specific groups with repaircontrol.use, or leave it server-wide (default).

Ships with an empty blacklist, so out of the box nothing is excluded — full penalty removal, server-wide.
