Light Armor to Heavy Armor
Currently in Space Engineers, Survival Mode, an Engineer must grind down a Light Armor Block (LAB) completely in order to replace it with a Heavy Armor Block (HAB). This of course requires consideration of adjacent blocks as to not cause damage and/or loss of materials.
Upgrade Tool; With materials on hand and tool in hand, Engineers are able to weld the already present LAB and introduce the required materials to build LABs, into HABs. HAB Materials requirements adjusted for what's already present from the LAB. Welding time fitting accordingly.
Going from the established SE1 welding bar on the HUD, the bar could reflect a LAB as a half completed bar but Green reflecting completion. Upgrading could take the welding bar further up, showing as a Light Blue section above the Green.
