Suggestion: Life Pod Repair

WillemV

After making the Repair Tool, a player can choose to repair the System Panel and/or repair the Communications Relay.

Most likely first repair the System Panel, which then results in restored lights and smoke dissipation, with a satisfying background hum of working machinery. This would be expected.

Repairing the Communications Relay results in an immediate bounce-back message from the Aurora. This would be expected.

However...

First repairing the Communications Relay also makes the lights come on and the smoke disappear, which then makes repairing the System Panel kinda do nothing (at least not visually). I have seen video plays on Youtube where people do this and are genuinely confused as to what the Panel repair is supposed to accomplish.

I suggest that it would be clearer to keep the Communications + Message and the Panel + Light and Smoke Dissipation confined to their own specific repairs.

Cheers!

That's probably more a bug.

And the panel, once repaired, lock (gravitionaly) the lifepod in place, if you don't repair it, it will slowly drift away

Seems like a simple fix tbh

when I saw the title I thought this was a suggestion to make other lifeboats repairable, which could be interesting, it would be like having little floating minibases dotted about
