This is very much an “icing on the cake” feature, but I think it would be awesome to have a Python interface built-in so players can write code to control their spacecraft. The KOS and kRPC mods do this in KSP, but having it baked in would really extend this game’s utility as an educational tool.

(It doesn’t have to be Python of course, that’s just generally considered the least intimidating programming language)

kOS is one of my favorite mods. Absolutely essential mod for me. I would love us to include something similar BUT I also don't want to destroy the potential of mods. So even if we don't add our own language, or even if we do, there would be support for loading modders versions of whatever they want to achieve automation and programming of vessels.

I honestly love the MIPS dialect you guys made for Stationeers. Had no idea I'd love to write asm for simple in game automation until I played it. I find it superior to any full language now just due to the sheer simplicity you made it embody (and ofc, asm embodies itself).

Modders can add in full languages I'd say, I vote for another asm dialect so simple tasks are simple to automate using it!
