veradox Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 construction synth is a niche role for niche activities and is even then extremely underwhelmingly equipped and not viable for station maintenance, but rather massive construction projects. as of current the engiborg is restricted to rods, metal, reinforced glass and regular glass in terms of building materials (excluding floor tiles). they are able to synthesize both metal and glass. consistently there is an issue on station (be it blob or broken AI core) where an inability to hold, store or use materials has resulted in an unfinished or shoddy job. it'd be great if the engiborg could be updated to be better suited towards maintenance with the ability to hold plastic/wood/platesteel/carpet and use it but not be able to synthesize it, eliminating a problem of being overpowered and still permitting it to recycle materials rather than leave it sitting around instead of being used where it's supposed to be.
