In Citizen Sleeper 2, damaged dice are an inevitable part of the journey. This guide explains how to get them back in working order.
Stress is the culprit. Failing actions or experiencing starvation increases stress, leading to dice damage. Each die withstands three hits before requiring repair.
Dice repair isn't available until you reach Far Spindle and meet Bliss, who unlocks the Rig Workshop on your ship. When not on a Contract, use the Rig Workshop to repair your dice. Two repair options exist: Improvised Repairs and Dice Repair.
Improvised Repair: Costs 2 Scrap Components, fixes one die, but increases the Glitch meter, raising the risk of a glitched die.
Dice Repair: Costs 1 Rare Component (harder to find), adds less to the Glitch meter.
Dice Repair is generally preferable if you can afford it. However, Improvised Repair is perfectly viable, especially as Rare Components become more readily available later in the game.
Glitched dice (20% positive, 80% negative outcome) can occur. While there's no direct repair method, a story event after the "Diagnose Your Frame" drive will repair a single glitched die.
That's how to repair dice in Citizen Sleeper 2.
