Compact Rooms: Multiple Junctions for Observatories

04Leonhardt

The idea is for Observatories to be allowed multiple attachments to corridors, and allow for ladders to go through the top and bottom, for the purpose of using it as a compact Room.

Alternatively, a Compact Room could be a reskinned Observatory with solid walls that you could construct Windows, Reinforcements, Hatches, and Living Walls on. Compact Rooms would need to be available in the Builder from the start of the game without having to unlock any Blueprints.

You mean like this?

I'd like a small room the size of an X-Corridor that basically does everything you want from that observatory.

Four corridor attachments or walls that can sport reinforcements, window or greenery, a ladder through the middle and enough room for an Interior Growbed or a Narrow Bed for tight living quarters.

I voted 1. As long as the ceiling is transparent and the floor is to.

Yeah. Let us have vertical connectors linking to the bottom, allowing us to climb up vertically into observatories.

That's basically what the "Compact Room" would be.

All parts that you don;t have something connected to would be transparent on the Observatory. A Compact Room would be solid, unless you install windows on the sides.
