One thing that's bugged me for a while now: Walls can't hide shit! By which I mean sticking something on top of something else hides it quite effectively. Building a grate on a PDA blocks you from seeing it. Dropping a piece of metal on a bomb provides a quick hiding spot if you're in a rush. But whenever you build a wall over something, the wall automatically becomes a part of the bottom layer, and instantly reveals everything that was on that tile.
I don't know exactly how the code works, but just think of the possibilities if walls could somehow be shifted to the top layer, instead of the bottom! Want to hide something? Build a wall on top of it! There's a bomb somewhere in engineering, start checking the walls! Sure, it'd be a really effective hiding place, but it also wouldn't be an easy one. You have to tear down the original wall, drop your thing, and hope nobody sees you while you're rebuilding the blatantly missing piece of station. What's more, Optical-Meson sensors let you see through walls. Let them see under walls too! Pubby McShitlord has hidden his stash of bodies in a secret wall in the pod bay, good thing Johnny McRobust was wearing his mesons while he built his pod!
