Make it where if you're in an EVA Suit/Mech or otherwise Sealed Suit, you can't leave blood stains from taking damage.

because blood falling out of enviromentally sealed suit is wild.

I'd always taken it as the blood escapes then some mechanism in the suit self-seals. If we were being realistic, anything that would harm you through a suit barring maybe environmental heat and certain types of blunt force would render that suit worthless in a vacuum.

fair. but I think it would be a cool details if the blood stayed inside.

maybe the blood could only escape if the suit was punctured/damaged enough?

There is a specific condition for a suit being 'punctured', where it does indeed lose the ability to protect against vacuum (or provide oxygen from a tank, if you don't have a mask on underneath the suit proper).  Logically this would happen any time you're shot or hit with something sharp enough to damage you through the suit, but.. that would be hell for actual usability. For 'balance' it only happens when you take large amounts of damage all at once, most commonly from explosions or falling down z-levels. That said, this actually sounds like a neat idea.

Maybe there could be text like "you feel something pooling around your ankles" when you've bled a certain amount

And when the voidsuit is removed it'll dump all the blood onto the floor at once in a big puddle
