biggest frustrations Light/heavy armor
One of the biggest frustrations in Space Engineers is placing a light or heavy armor block… then realizing you needed the other one. The cleanest fix is in-place upgrades (tiered welding). How it would work One generic “Armor Block” in the build menu. No separate Light / Heavy items. A fully welded block starts as Light Armor. Keep welding with heavy components (Metal Grids, Heavy Plates) and it crosses 100% into Heavy Armor — same shape, new mass, strength, and texture. No grinding. Grinding strips the heavy layer first, back to the light frame. A secondary tool mode could choose whether you affect the base block or only the upgrade layer. Why this fits SE2 The unified 25 cm grid plus all the new slopes already bloats the menu. Duplicate light/heavy variants make it worse.
