Is it possible to give an unit a construction/heal/mend bonus to something specific without changing the base rates of the unit?

Eg: Producing one unit that have higher construction rate to defensive buildings than production buildings | One healer that have higher healing rate to mounted units than foot units | Or one unit that have higher mending rate fixing machines than buildings...

You can only give bonus mend to target units.

You can have a unit that heals faster than others, but you can't have a unit that heals other units faster than other with bonus list.

I see, that's bit odd, i was thinking that was possible to add bonus using cathegories for those actions like attacks, well perhaps another thing to introduce on the to-do later list.

U can give repair unit high mend rate, and target unit high/ low mend bonus so different unit mended at different rate

He wanted a unit that can mend only for example mechanical units with good rate.
For example mechanical unit has 0% mend rate. And this unit has 10 mend rate.
He wanted for that unit to be different from basic worker with same 10 mend rate to have specific bonus mend rate to mechanical units.

Yes, but that's not really possible atm.

what is a "mechanical" unit?

Units made of inorganic parts or run by fuel

please give examples from AOS

but i just read first post: i think just makes the game more complicate

Mechanical unit is unit that can't be healed by healer or in building and instead must be repaired by worker unit type.
Examples of mechanical units:
AoS:
Ballista
Catapult
Trebushet
All ships
Ornithopter
AoF:
Catapult
Wagon
Ships
Ornithopter
Transport and battle zeppelins (dwarves)
(Upcoming) Battle suits for dwarves

Extra:
Mechanical units always immune to poison and most of time vurable to fire.

ok than i thought the same.

Actually doomsday wanted possibility to make more specialist worker, for example in aos, a metal worker who has higher mend rate on metal based unit like siege ram, or a ship builder with higher mend rate on ships than on catapult

Or a house builder with higher mend rate on factories than siege units, or a Royal builder specialized in building mega faster than other units,

Currently if one unit has mend rate it can mend all units that have mend bonus and only mend bonus of other units determine how fast worker repairs/builds

yes but i think just makes the game more complicate, that is why i thought it is not be in.

How? That will just make our lives easier lol. Pretty much same thing as attacking bonuses, but for construction/heal/mend.

Well, read the structure of json, its an old core code on how mend/heal bonus is determined so I think its extra pressure for dev to change it and modify all existing unit jsons
