I created a version of this mod that is applied to every player that spawns in at any medbay. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1406992369

But that only set the hydrogen to 0. If you also want them to spawn without tools use the world setting instead.

Hmm well it would be simple to just let players spawn without hydrogen at all. But I think thats not challanging enough. But Ill see what I can do about that.

The idea to limit the medbays people can spawn at is really interesting. Basically a checkpoint system so people cannot teleport from a to b using medbays anymore. That would make dying not necessarily a bad thing but it makes sure people on a server for example have to build ships that can land on a planet or reach space. And they have to build multiple ships.

I dont know if the medbays in the spawn list can be altered with a mod. But ill try figuring that out. But that may take some time I dont have much time to play or code for SE recently.

It would still slightly encourage people to die less by making them refill their hydrogen (And lose their current hydrogen).
I hate how people just kill themselves to get about, ideally we'd have them only able to respawn at the last medbay they used to prevent that, or one within a radius or something.

Well of course it would be possible. But for the same thing you could just disable spawn with tools in your World Settings.

Being in space without hydrogen on the other hand will indeed add some challange, but it can easily be mastered when there is an oxygen generator attached to the medbay so they can easily refill themselves.

So I am not sure if it would have much use to add it to all medbays.

Could there be a version of this mod that just applies universally to all medbays?
It'd be great for adding a decent penalty to death.
