Apologies if these seem a bit newbish, i've not done much construction, still getting the hang of it
I was called to repair a hull breach today as an engineer, and the process took a lot longer than expected, i'm not even sure i did it correctly
The first major thing that comes to mind, is mistakes. How do you fix them? For example, i accidentally built a wall when i meant to make a reinforced wall. I couldn't figure out how to go back a step, or tear it down and start over. The wrench doesn't seem to deconstruct them. How do you deal with building something in the wrong place by accident?
The second thing is grilles, i hate these things. When i need them gone, i usually smash them with a crowbar, but that does still leave behind a broken grill, and i can't figure out how to pick that up, or move it out of the way
Then there's windows. Most windows on the station use a setup that seems odd to me, a grill in the middle, surrounded on all sides by single-pane reinforced windows. At least, where it connects to something other than more window. How do you actually create this setup? And how do you deal with one of the panes getting broken and needing repaired.
The thing i think i messed up, the middle of three windows was smashed out, and i repaired it with a metal wall. possible problem is, the sides of the window tiles facing the wall had no panes on them. Does that compromise hull integrity? I had no idea how to re-add those panes
