| description = An implant which increases the speed at which a mechanitor can repair a mechanoid. This does not affect the overall energy needed to repair a mechanoid.<br/>The implant allows the mechanitor to plug in directly with the mechanoid while they are repairing it. This allows them to more quickly understand the mechanoid's injuries, and better-direct the mech's self-repair mechanites to assist with the repair.<br/>This implant can be self-installed in the same way as the mechlink.<br/>This implant can be installed up to 6 times to increase its effect.

'''Repair probes''' are [[artificial body parts]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]] that increase the rate at which [[mechanitor]]s repair their [[mechanoids]].

== Acquisition ==
Repair probes can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

== Summary ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Order of operations}}
Each repair probe increases [[Mech Repair Speed]] of the implanted [[mechanitor]] by {{+|33%}}. Up to 6 repair probes can be installed in each mechanitor's brain. Each probe stacks additively as if it were {{+|33.3&#773;3&#773;%}}, with the end result rounded down.

=== Installation ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Written from memory. Verification, expansion, and clarity needs work}}
Unlike most other artificial body parts, the repair probe is not installed via an [[operation]]. Instead, the selected mechanitor can be selected to use the device on themselves, consuming the item and installing it.

== Analysis ==
Repair probes use a valuable [[nano structuring chip]]. Making a repair probe should be weighed against making [[mechlord suit|mechlord]] [[mechlord helmet|armor]], a [[wastepack atomizer]], or your own [[war queen]]. Making a mechlord suit, in order to have 2 [[centipede]]s, is most likely better than having 1 centipede repaired 33% faster. The advanced components could also be used for [[bionics]]. If you have a surplus of chips and components, then repair probes are ultimately a buff to your mechanitor.

Usually the time taken to repair after battle isn't a big issue. Sees use with the [[remote repairer]], as this implant makes it easier to repair mechs during battle.
