When a mechanic fixes a generator he has to walk up to some location on the generator and do something.

But what does it mean to “walk up” to a generator, and where does the colonist actually go?

These are the sorts of things that I have to deal with.

This is my story.





Access Positions

The first issue to solve is: “Where does a colonist go when he wants to interact with an object?”

Our solution is to mark specific locations on each object that a colonist can walk to. We call them “access positions”.

The medical bed has 2 access positions: one on each side. A colonist will always walk to an access position before “using” the bed.
