I haven't had any problem repairing clothing yet. I'm using Windows 10.        

It's because there is no floor on the other side of the wall.  The game doesn't know there is a room there. Powering things outside rooms is a hack to support those outdoor freezers at gas stations.

Hi Folks,   I looked through the bug tracker and haven't seen this one mentioned, so I hope it's not a dupe of something already reported.   I've recently returned to Zomboid after a little hiatus and been playing with the latest build of 41.39 and was excited to hear that clothing can actually be repaired!   However, when I attempt to repair clothing I see the progress dialog bar but nothing gets repaired and the resources are consumed. I also see little red error boxes in the lower right of UI after I inspect clothing and right-click Hole to get the Patch Hole context dialog. I followed the console.txt log and see the following errors regarding getScratchDefenseFromItem(Clothing.java:936) and getBiteDefenseFromItem(Clothing.java:922) methods:   LOG : General, 1593988288187> ----------------------------------------- STACK TRACE ----------------------------------------- Callframe at: getScratchDefenseFromItem function: doPatch -- file: ISGarmentUI.lua line # 124 function: doContextMenu -- file: ISGarmentUI.lua line # 167 function: onBodyPartListRightMouseUp -- file: ISGarmentUI.lua line # 92 ERROR: General, 1593988288194> ExceptionLogger.logException> Exception thrown java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0 (Native Method).

When I attempt to repair the clothing, via Patch Hole -> Ripped Sheets I see the repair progress bar do its thing and consume the resources and new red error box pops up. The repair doesn't seem to do anything no matter how many times I try it. If it's its merely a skill failure, there has to be a better way to approach it, but from the console.txt it sounds like its just a bug. When I perform that action, I see the following in console log regarding addPatch(Clothing.java:1038) method:   LOG : General, 1593988295353> ----------------------------------------- STACK TRACE ----------------------------------------- Callframe at: addPatch function: perform -- file: ISRepairClothing.lua line # 30 ERROR: General, 1593988295354> ExceptionLogger.logException> Exception thrown java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0 (Native Method).

Just started messing with Recipes... This was helpful... Thanks.

Hey again (I feel like I'm a bug mine damn ^^)   As you can see Rain enters inside the Warehouse, and there's the crimson filter (I'm not wet on the picture but I can be if I stay long enough) but only on the down part, the square with the stairs is okay
