Radiation damages electronics.

[fickle pelican]

You could make a mechanic that radiation had some chance of damaging components and could replace values, as it does in reality when electronics are irradiated.

For example, the values in the memory component will be replaced by the closest values to the original value

A mechanic which bricks complex circuits and straight up removes major parts of a submarine's functionality?

[untold dust]

It would be really painful to fix complex circuits, impossible even for components hidden in walls using the sub-editor.

Some circuits are also deliberately made non-interactable because they're used to enforce some gimmick without which the submarine either becomes very bland or overpowered.

Cool idea in theory

But in practice it'd suck

Even if you had a toggle option, people would probably never use it because it doesn't really "fit in" with Baro's style

It'd fuck too much up

But I like the concept

[barren slate]

How about having components that are invulnerable, so a memory cell would either be vulnerable or unvulnerable

Maybe like making the component would be more expensive
