			'''Further improvement ideas'''
			Here are some things I considered adding for this rewrite, but wanted to publish changes and move on:
			* more in-game pictures to show what's being discussed
			* section explaining the different computers/consoles found in Engineering
			* the formatting on the Equipment section is awkward, but I'm not sure how to improve that at the moment
			I don't have any immediate plans to work on these since there are a few other pages I'd like to improve first (especially [[Station Engineer]]). Leaving these ideas here for someone else, or when I come back to this page. --[[User:KindaNice\|KindaNice]] ([[User talk:KindaNice\|talk]]) 12:01, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

ideas for reorganization

New page

I'm planning a project to consolidate several of the current engineering role pages into this one, similar to how [[Science]] is set up.

Here's pages that I plan to fully consolidate into [[Engineering]]:
* [[Chief Engineer]]
* [[Atmospheric Technician]]
* [[Station Engineer]]
* [[Technical Assistant]]

Here's pages that I want to at least partially move into [[Engineering], or transclude significant sections from (also think they should be made into subpages of [[Engineering]]):
* [[Hacking]]
* [[Power]]
* [[Atmospherics]]
* [[Construction]]
* [[Pipes and vents]]

The basic structure to follow (again, stolen from [[Science]]) will be as follows:
* Preamble - explains what you do in engineering, names the sub-departments and roles.
* Staff - specific roles explained
* Responsibilities
** Power generation systems
*** Temporary Power
**** AME
**** Portable generators
*** Containment-based power - singularity and tesla
*** Permanent power - TEG (link to Atmo section), solar panels, & Supermatter Crystal, each should have detail pages
** Atmosphere - distro and waste, fixing spacing and gas leaks, setting up TEG (should have guides linked in separate pages)
** Construction - simple guide
* Equipment
** Tools
** Vending machines
** Other departments - what is commonly requested by or from other departments
