When You Use An Item, Or Through Random Events - Instead Of Losing An Item Entirely, It Is Returned Broken.
Most Broken Items Are Unusable In All Events, But Can Still Be Used In Some Events.
-For Example: The Gas Mask You Have Is Broken, But You Can Still Use It To "Create A Friend" If Prompted During A Certain Event.
Repairing An Item Can Be Done At The Crafting Machine At The Back Of The Escape Pod.
-Requires Resources To Repair An Item
-After You Get This Achievement, If You Can Remake The Item, I Usually Just Break It Down For Resources And Make a New One If An Item Gets Damaged.
After You Successfully Repair Your 10th Item (Across Multiple Playthroughs) This Achievement Will Pop.
Goodluck!
