Thanks GAMEtatron! I agree. They missed several good opportunities on this and several other updates.

It's also sad that Keen didn't make the Access Panels with openings in them, so we could use them as covers and access things through them, like access cargo containers, terminals, buttons etc. Hope they update with better names and hollow versions in the next update.
Thanks for making this.

Game companies are complex entities, like any other company. Xocliw probably skips the question because he either doesn't know the answer, or he's not been authorized to share the answer.

I expect the reason is simply, "that's what the Designer wanted." But, why did the Designer want that? It might have been some sort of game-balance concern (a stretch, but still possible). It could also have been a technical implementation issue.

I do agree, and was myself disappointed that the Small Grid panels lacked the button and terminal as well.

I've asked on the last 3 streams why the small grid panels don't have the button and control but its weird they just skip right over me while answering the stuff directly above and below... almost like they can't answer because they didn't make it.... which would almost fit based of the poor naming scheme used that does not fit at all with everything else in the game. Thank you for the fix to what should have been default.

Seriously, what's going on at Keen? I used to sing their praises but lately, their actions have me either facepalming or shacking my head. Nice fix Patrick!
