Repair tool not working

[Cazzy6208]

Just built a repair tool & it isn't working on anything - used it a few weeks ago & it worked fine so maybe a bug since the new update?

haven't needed to use the repair tool since the update, i'll go pound a wall a few times tonight and see what happens.

Same, it showed the health bars but no matter what we tried it just wouldn’t fix our walls or doors

I've had this multiple times, namely in hosted games.  My work arounds are: have another player use it for you. (yes, that worked) and I noticed after I died/respawned, my tool would work again for a while.

 

While normally I wouldn't suggest making a tall tower in your base and jumping off it to die and respawn, right now it seems useful so you can repair our precious outer walls so ants and things don't come in and take all our foods.

Please, Please, Please fix this problem of the repair tool not working or provide some kind of effective workaround!  It's a bit frustrating watching my hard work degrading without being able to repair the items!

After I originally posted this i found it started working agaim after an update. 

I have found since this latest 6.0 update that something has changed when trying to build - can't quite put my finger on what, but building is not as easy as it was previously. So maybe if the repair tool doesn't work again it's something to do with whatever they have done in this update?

looks as though there are others having issues in the last few days too
