Fuel economy on repairs is terrible

[antropod]

Description

I tried playing robot recently and found that fixing yourself with a blowtorch uses so much fuel. One blowtorch is barely enough to repair once.
While marine can carry a medkit with bicaridine pills, you need dozens of blowtorches to properly keep yourself repaired.

uh, you know robots can just press a button to repair themselves with no tools right?

[antropod]

Yes, but it is very slow. At least it felt this way.
I thought of it more like "if you have minor damage all over the body, use the self-repair button and for major repairs on specific part use the tool"

This whole issue is more about how it felt playing robot for a new robot player

This is honestly just a skill issue. Robots healing economy sucks for the sake they don't suffer pain in anyway as such they can be at deaths door and still be able to stand. Where as marines drop stun or fall unconscious when too hurt
