Highlight Damaged blocks

[Deleted member 678402]

Blocks that are damaged would be visible with the new highlight mechanics. Add a checkbox for it next to light mode and remove mode.

If <25% of a block's HP is gone, it will be green
If <50% of a block's HP is gone, it will be yellow
If 50%+ of a block's HP is gone, it will be red

What do you think?

As a build tool option, it would be very useful for locating inadvertently damaged blocks. In normal gameplay contexts, it could be part of the Recon chamber tree, used for scanning ships.

In build mode, I agree, keep it as an option. In astronaut mode, have it activate when the player holds a healing beam.

Yeah maybe with the healing beam. definetly when in build mode. this would make fixing your ships a lot easier.

On scanners, my chief concern is that it could actually obfuscate valuable system outlines. That said, a similar idea to this is that with the new healing beams able to restore destroyed blocks, having both damaged and destroyed blocks display if you have astrotech beam or heal beam selected would be great.
