(Suggestion) Malfunction Ideas. #25

Here are my few suggestions focusing on the delivery rocket, ship leaving / arriving and other interesting mechanics.

Behind Schedule - The ship arrives later than usual. (around 11AM - 1PM).

This was already suggested by willoheajaunka however I'm surprised there's pretty much no mod focusing on the ship arriving late / early. This would be especially helpful if it was adjustable in config file. Maybe also it could scale depending on the days passed..?

Misconfigured Autopilot Clock - The ship automatically leaves when reaching a certain hour. (5PM - 7PM)

This is pretty self-explanatory, would be ideal if it was shown after landing or up to a minute after it. As the one above, would be amazing to set this up in config files / make them scaleable.

Traffic Hours - Delivery Rocket will arrive only once, and after 2-3 minutes after purchasing the items.

Also very self-explanatory, makes buying items very tactical (since you will only have one chance to buy them) and requires someone to stay behind, otherwise everybody will waste time waiting for their walkies. (3 minutes converted to in-game time is around 4-5 hours.)

Facility Lockdown - You cannot access the facility from the Main Entrance both from the outside AND the inside. This event will happen when at least one person is in the facility at any hour.

So, from a first glance this might seem very hard to code, however I got this idea from the code of few other mods, specifically We Need To Dig Deeper locking the Main Entrance and FairAI, making it check if at least one person is in the Facility. Making you either use a Lockpicker on the door.......? (don't really know if this would work but if it did maybe make it open after like 2 minutes), or what I find more fun, go find a Fire Exit.

I'd love to see your response to this, take care!
