# Condition & Repair

Hardware in this **crypto mining simulator** wears while it earns. Condition changes output, tradability, and whether you can repair.

## Condition ladder

| Condition | Life used | Output | Repair?           | Marketplace? | Burn for SP?         |
| --------- | --------- | ------ | ----------------- | ------------ | -------------------- |
| Mint      | —         | 100%   | No (already Mint) | Yes          | Yes                  |
| Clean     | 0–40%     | 100%   | Yes               | No           | No                   |
| Dusty     | 40–70%    | 85%    | Yes               | No           | No                   |
| Hot       | 70–100%   | 70%    | Yes               | No           | No                   |
| Fried     | 100%      | 0%     | No                | No           | No (use Recycle Bin) |

## When wear advances

* Only while the rig is **operational and earning**
* Pauses when the rig is not earning
* Closing the browser does **not** pause wear on an operational rig

**Excluded from wear:** consumables, room skins, packs, vouchers, tickets.

## Repair

* Repair **Clean / Dusty / Hot** back toward **Mint**
* Fee paid in **$COMPUTE**, based on estimated mining since last repair
* Fee split: **50% burn / 50% platform**
* Wear resets after a successful repair

## Mint-only actions

These generally require **Mint** condition:

* Marketplace listings
* Free transfers / certain offer flows
* Upgrade Vault inputs
* Burn-for-SP path

Fried gear belongs in the [Recycle Bin](/rig-rooms-docs/game-systems/recycle-bin.md).

## Optimization tip

A smaller farm of Mint GPUs usually beats a larger farm of Hot / Fried racks. Repair before output collapses.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://rig-rooms.gitbook.io/rig-rooms-docs/game-systems/condition-and-repair.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
