ReStory Chill Electronics Repairs Reassembly Guide

Reassembly fails for one of three reasons: a part is actually just dirty rather than damaged, a replacement part has not been sourced yet, or a component has physically fallen off your workbench. Sorting out which one you are facing is the whole job. Missing hardware at the end costs you rating directly.

The three part states

Every component you pull out reads as normal, dirty, or damaged, and each has a different destination.

Normal parts go straight back in. Dirty parts need cleaning and then go back in — they do not need replacing. Only damaged parts require a replacement.

This is the single most valuable thing to internalise, because misreading dirty as damaged is the most common way new players waste money. Run the check on each component before ordering anything.

Where replacement parts come from

When a part is genuinely damaged you have three sources:

• Your own stock — fastest, if you have the component already.
• Ordering from the in-game supplier — the standard route for anything you do not stock.
• Dismantling a donated or purchased device — turns a dead unit into a parts bin.

That third route is why cheap broken devices are worth buying even when they cannot be economically restored. A unit with several reusable components can pay for itself supplying paid customer orders.

Use a checklist, not memory

Video walkthroughs demonstrate working through a per-device checklist rather than relying on recall. The checklist answers the question that actually blocks you: is this part dirty, is it missing, or does it genuinely need replacing?

Running that as an explicit pass before you start reassembling catches problems while they are still cheap to fix. Discovering a missing component with the device half-assembled costs far more time.

Treat the bench as a pipeline

The other habit that shows up consistently in demonstrations is zoning the workbench — one area for parts coming out, one for cleaned parts, one staged for reassembly.

This scales with device complexity. As part counts climb, the difference between a zoned bench and a pile is measured in lost screws, and lost screws are a rating penalty.

Missing screws and your rating

The reported rating thresholds make hardware explicit:

Note that both assembly errors and missing screws appear separately from cleanliness. A spotless device assembled wrong still does not reach five stars. The cleanliness rating guide covers the cleaning half.

When a part falls off the desk

Components physically dropping off the workbench is a real and reported problem — enough so that a community mod exists specifically to recover them, restoring a lost part to the desk with a key press.

You do not need the mod to finish a job, but it is worth knowing this is a known failure mode rather than something you imagined. If a part has vanished and you are certain you removed it, this is the likely explanation. See the mods guide for installation.

Harder devices need a known order

For the more complex devices, assembly order matters and is not obvious from the parts alone. Dedicated community write-ups exist covering the assembly orders for the hardest devices, and they are the right reference when a specific unit will not go back together.

This also matters for the timed competition mode, which runs with no on-screen guidance — meaning assembly order has to be memorised in advance rather than worked out live.

Automating the missing-part problem

A community mod exists that fills in missing components in one action rather than ordering them individually. Like all mods it can break with any patch, and it changes the economy of a job, so treat it as a convenience rather than a fix.

The underlying skill it shortcuts — knowing what is missing before you start — is still worth developing, because the competition mode gives you no help at all.

A working sequence

1. Diagnose the fault before disassembling.
2. Lay parts out in zones as you remove them.
3. Classify every part: normal, dirty, or damaged.
4. Clean the dirty ones; source replacements only for damaged ones.
5. Reassemble against a checklist, accounting for every screw.
6. Run the device test before handing the job back.

待确认: The per-device assembly orders themselves are not reproduced here — no verified first-party listing exists in the sources gathered, and the community write-ups covering them have not been cross-checked. Whether assembly order affects the rating independently of missing hardware is also unconfirmed.
