[Suggestion] Custom Space Suits & Switch Lever

I dont know how forum works but i will keep it really simple. I would like to suggest 3 things to the game that i beleive will going to make the game more fun.


1. Custom Suits, There are mods out there which can achive this but. They are more likely stats based. What i wanna suggest is Fully custom suits desinged to help engineers at diffirent works. As purely for example ;

Miner Suit ; Gives more flashlight and ore detection range.Comes with abiliy to shoot short time flares to highlight an area.

Deepspace Suit ; Allows players to recharge their battery from sun light but they cannot recharge their suit from stations. Suit also contains %50 more battery power.And comes with ; 30 Meter range grapling hook.

Combat Warfare Suit : Heals user up to 70 HP by using Oxygen and Power and reducing damage taken by %5, When it is activated suit uses Energy as an armor source.

Construction Suit : Increases inventory size by %25 and welders & Grinders costs %50 less power.

and so on the list goes like that.


2. Switch lever. What i see is missing in Space engineers a Lever. Almost everything works as buttons. But i think a lever will going to change the rules of the game. It should function as (Setup Action of Lever Up) and (Setup action of Lever Down) So it can be as. When lever is up it turns the lights on when lever is down. It turns the light off

A button can pretty much do exact same thing. But it will never going to replace the decoration of ("Engineer enters dusty hangar, Pulls the lever down, Lights turns on")

3. Bonus Suggestion. Can there be "Non Sealed" Doors ? and only one way shaded window walls ?

Well folks thats pretty much it. Thanks for reading it :)

The Space Suits thing is and old suggestion, I hope they do implement something like that at one point!


About the lever, it's a pretty good idea! It wouldn't be a new block, it would be just a different type of "Button" that is animated, like those rotating lights they added, but it would add a lot more feel to the game.


I'm phantasizing about having an offset one button Button Panel for large grids for years, because it feels awkward to place a whole Button Panel with 4 buttons to somewhere, but I use only one button...

A lever would be just perfect!

It would probably be better to have modification slots rather than predefined kits for suits. It fits better with the theme of SE being more sandbox than rigidly defined, and you can customize even more. For example, there could be a jetpack slot where you equip an ion, atmo, or hydro jetpack, or just forgo the jetpack for extra power, storage space, or armor. This would also allow much easier expansion of the suit system after implementation and many more useful options when customizing a suit.
