    I propose that when you create a building that has a propose (aka the weather control) it has items that have to be connected with wires and pipes so it won't best be one object (like a workbench in terraria) it for example will need power (wind farm, engine, hydro powered..ect)and you'll need to connect it (via cables,wireless,wires..ect) to a stabilizer and to a temperature dial and so on..

    i feel it would make buildings more useful;)

    I could see this working out in a mission.

    The Blueprints!
    Primary Objective: Defeat the enemy commander!

    However to defeat the commander you would have to take out the shield generator to get into the bunker.
    The commander would send wave after wave of enemies at you and could send engineers to fix the generator.

    Things such as taking out bridges that enemies use to get to the generator would be a good addition seeing as they would have rebuild the bridge to get to the generator to fix it.

    yeah i could see that

    like an engineering skill or something so you could turn machines against your enemies(instead of just exploding everything)
    If you over loaded the shield generator the shield would not let enemies out for a short time then overheat and break cause the generator to explode and let you in.

    I think I saw a very similar idea on this forum to this where by constructing certain buildings (crafting benches, etc.) beside each other they would offer new unique items that can be made.

    I like this idea because it makes sense. You'd have to lay down the infrastructure. On the other hand . . . you could still lay down the structures and have the NPCs do all the work of hooking it all up. Plus, it is the future and they are currently developing wireless power technology . . . so maybe if you go up the tech tree a bit you don't actually need all the wiring, only a power and relay station.

    Edit: When I say 'they are currently developing' I mean this is actual technology that is being worked on in real life and not by the developers of Starbound. Thought I would make that distinction, just in case.
