Does it include workbench or upgrade costs?

Yes. When a replacement requires a higher tier workbench or extra materials, the tool factors those costs into the replacement estimate.

Should I always repair if the cost is lower?

Not always. If you are planning a tier upgrade or your gear has low remaining durability value, crafting a new item may still be smarter for long sessions.

Why Repair Decisions Matter in Hytale

Repairing gear is often cheaper in the short term, but it can be a trap if you are about to upgrade tiers. A repaired item still caps your power at the old tier, and repeated repairs can add up faster than crafting a replacement.

This calculator puts a clear number on the tradeoff by comparing raw materials, crafting steps, and durability value. That way you can decide whether to stretch the current item or reinvest in better gear before your next long expedition.

Pro Tips

Use the 70 percent rule - If repair cost is above 70 percent of the full craft cost, replacing is usually more efficient.
Repair before deep red durability - Very low durability often increases repair material usage in practice.
