Space hive construction

[Sarah_U.]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Allow for structures much like lattice and resin floor to be built on space tile, by xenos!

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Allows for xenos to fix breach to prevent their hosts from dying.
Grants amazing new possibilities and strategies for xenos.
Xenos aren't counted in space so they're not encouraged to go out and sit there forever.
Would open ways to new map designs, possibly (Prison map intensifies?)

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
A xenomorph standing still can build a resin latice, taking 150 plasma instead of 75 and requiring a resin flooring for airtightness.
Resin floor is hardened and grows as resistant as normal floor (Prevent suddent atmo issues).
Resin latice are a form of very strong webbing that interconnects and allow for more resin to be applied and create a complex structure.

Resin latice requires a starting point, and generally implies very dangerous work to be done as one cannot stray too far from it. (space)
Resin flooring can only be placed on resin latice, but cost 75 as per usual. It provides with half the recovery of weeds untill hive nodes are placed and normal weeds grow which provides basic bonus afterward. (Optional?)

You can build walls, doors, etc over resin floor.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
[N/A - Requires spriting & Basic programming]

What about making the resin walls and doors harden after some time so they become more resistant

[Sarah_U.]

Post a suggestion for that if you like it ...
Possibly make drones spend resin and time to reinforce the walls by right clicking + verb.

Nope, nope, nope. This is a duplicate suggestion from Pre-alpha and i'm still against encouraging aliens to build in space even if it costs alot of plasma.

"Duplicate from pre-alpha" it's not a duplicate if so much has changed.

It was the act same suggestion for making resin floors be built in space, for a space hive.

Albeit the suggestion is probably long gone due to it quite possibly (Yep it's not on this forum) being on the NE forums.

Xenos already have the advantage of surviving in space or in a vacuum; we don't want to encourage them even more to move into space and do whatever. Not to mention we don't count anyone in space for round completion. And this isn't supported by the lore. I'm going to deny this.
