Surface Greebles Greebles should suggest that they perform a job to justify why they appear on the modules, but they should be designed in a manner so that they are not confused as being puzzle elements. Make them contrast less with the rest of the module than the interactable assets do Use simplified forms that do not have complex geometry Lean towards shorter/flatter designs so that they don't stick out from the surface as puzzle assets do Materials should blend them in with their surroundings Size can vary as we would like simple ways to individualize hulls but be sure to inversely balance size with complexity What jobs can they look like: Provide power Cable bundles/conduits Junction boxes Data and communication antenna dish Structural reinforcement (chunky, repetitive/symmetrical, load bearing) Frame braces and ribs Bolted plates Maintenance access (hints at human scale involvement) Handles for spacewalking astronauts Service hatches Warning labels (decal, actually) Thermal management Heat vents Insulation tiles Heat radiators

When designing greebles for the space station, we wanted to ensure they had a reason for being there.

We decided that there were five reasons for a greeble to exist:

- Power
- Data and Communication
- Structural Reinforcement
- Maintenance Access
- Thermal Management
