Kessler Syndrome and Space Environmentalism - Outie - 10-24-2024

Add depth to disposals and space by making Kessler Syndrome a thing

Essentially after enough people space shit, including crusher debris, space starts to do physical damage to those not wearing up-armored space suits, including pods.

Something like a % chance rolled each time you move on a space tile that ramps up depending on how polluted the local space is

Ways to avoid it are proper use of the crusher, which litters space less vs. throwing objects out an airlock

Maybe everytime an object hits the z-level boundary, that adds to some kind of value that determines if space is littered with debris

Create a clean-up arm attachment thing for pods that lets people essentially become space garbagemen

I like the idea of "Space garbagemen" but I can safely say... the execution will only cause more head aches.
We already have breaking suits in the acid place we call Nadir.

I'd say space debris is a fun idea for an event though.
