I actually work in the aerospace materials sector and the fact that most of the structure of a futuristic space Station is made from pure, unalloyed iron would be baffling if this game was actually intended to be realistic.
So my crapola suggestion is that we update the game to reflect the diverse world of alloy metallurgy.
For example, one of the most common steels is UNS S30400 aka 18-8 aka 304 Stainless Steel.
It’s relatively cheap, common, versatile. It’s also relatively vulnerable to corrosion and can’t withstand high temperatures like superalloys or the current bleeding edge tech of high entropy alloys. It will become brittle under exposure to gamma radiation. It would be my choice for areas not expected to face vacuum or engineers building a fusion reactor.
Here’s a chart of the composition
You can’t just shove some iron ore pellets into the electric furnace and pull a bar of that stuff out of the other end.
Now, while CP (Commercially Pure) Titanium is a viable material for plenty of applications, to really get the best out of it, you should look into something like Ti-6-4 (90% Titanium, 6% Aluminum, 4% Vanadium, 0.25% Iron and 0.2% Oxygen.
Obviously, most of the differences between alloys wouldn’t be problematic on the 1-3 hour timescale of a normal shift but imagine if they were.
One engineer throws up a simple carbon steel wall on Lavaland only for it to immediately fall to a Goliath looking at it funny because carbon steel isn’t intended for volcanic environments.
Another engineer spends the literal hours to set up a maraging steel batch for his fusion setup but by the time he’s ready to start welding it, the transfer shuttle is a minute away.
Both are pissed off. The game has become less fun.
TL;DR: make metal complicated again.

A crate with 10 cat ears and tails for traitor doctors to buy 
Changing the AI’s laws too many times can cause it to go Malf

Isn’t this already the case although with a VERY low chance.
This is actually a good idea, -15 points
This happens btw
clearly we have time travelers reading this thread
I want the nuclear reactor to spawn in a lavaland ruin,
lest call it decommissioned Russian power plant.
It will spawn in the middle of lavaland every round

Replace all lavaland mobs, player roles, and loot with gorrials because they are cool.

A trait that changes all of your swears for Minced oaths
Including a few words that aren’t currently swears, to account for word meaning changing over time
Contraband detectors, kinda like metal detectors but security can set up checkpoints that alert if someone with contraband walks through >:)

Those exist, or at least existed, and pretty much no one outside of security likes them. It’s just instant valid go get he button that removes any interaction or investigation.
It’s why its in the crapola tier ideas

If the scanners still exist I will use your response and the likes you got as the reason to remove them.

Rather then a code wise idea how about a map?
Features
It’s the half the size of MetaStation.
Removed cargo department so no ways to get ore.
Two warden lockers.
A maint system way too big.
And lastly the main appeal
The oustide is instant pitfall chasms.
Therefore it will be called CargolessWithChasmStation

Randomize the damage values per hit for all objects each round.
All the way from negative damage (hitting someone heals brute damage) to instant gib.

That should be an admin funny button for the secrets menue

Add child characters. They’re shorter, slightly faster, fewer HP, take longer to do complex tasks (anything with a progress bar takes 125% of the base time).
According to Space Law, child characters can’t be in command positions, and get less severe sentences.
The children yearn for the mines
