What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion will add new objects that will break and need to be fixed using the repair/ technician tools and will also give the repair tool and technician tool the ability, when held, to see broken things through walls (similar to how janitors see dirt and spills when holding a mop) including power boxes and the new objects .
New Systems that can break:
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I could not find any suggestions similar to this. The development tracker has a suggestion to see what power boxes are down.
Possible Positives of the suggestion:
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
By adding more repairable systems, gameplay becomes more varied and dynamic, while also opening up opportunities for more roleplay. The ability to see broken objects through walls also helps new players learn their role more quickly and stay involved. Although there are some risks, such as being overwhelmed if too many systems fail at once or the possibility of RP being temporarily disrupted, I believe this would be a good addition to the server.

- Could be overwhelming if too many things break at once without enough technicians online.
- Risk of frustration if critical systems (like Tesla Gates) fail during a breach
- Development time
- Could disrupt RP or postpone RP til after it is fixed
