Re: Survey to restore objectivity regarding department balance

This is quantification, not objectivity.

Putting numbers of subjective questions about how overpowered something is doesn't make those questions 'objective', because game design centers around engagement, and engagement is intrinsically subjective.

The extended biobag would be an easy code- you just make a child of the basic biobag and override the capacity (and give it a new sprite).

The lava tile would be a little harder. If you make the lava burn a hole in the station after it goes away it would be doable.
