Quick Answer
Find torn card pieces while searching trash heaps, bring the pieces to the repair table, rotate or move them until their edges align, then complete the repair once the game accepts the match.
How Card Repair Works
The Steam store describes damaged and torn cards as part of the card loop, and says cards can be mended or swapped for better ones. Treat condition as value-related: a better-condition card should be worth more than a damaged one.
Repair is an intent-specific action. Do not open the all-card database first; use it after repair to mark the fixed card as collected.
Repair Table Steps
Place the available pieces on the table.
Match visible edges and image continuity before forcing the connection.
If a piece refuses to connect, back it away, rotate or realign it, then try again slowly.
After success, update the tracker and keep foil status separate from base-card ownership.
Why Pieces May Not Connect
The most likely causes are slight misalignment, using pieces from different cards, missing a torn piece, or trying to complete a card before the table accepts the edge match. Exact tolerance is not officially published, so this page avoids pretending there is a known pixel-perfect value.
Common Mistakes
Do not treat every damaged card as a duplicate.
Do not mark foil ownership unless the repaired card is visibly foil.
Do not assume a failed connection means the card is bugged until you have retried alignment and checked whether all pieces belong together.
Known Issues
Community reports mention repair-table frustration, but exact reproduction steps remain unverified. If the table appears stuck, leave the table, reopen it, and preserve the save before doing risky inventory actions.
FAQ
Can duplicate cards be repaired? Yes, duplicates can still matter if condition or foil status differs, but exact sell values are not published here.
Does repair change card stats? No verified source says repair changes HP or ATK; keep stat data separate from condition data.
