Since the Bench has an in game effect of pausing your H20/Food loss while you rest, I'd like to see the model changed from a flat bench to a reclining chair/crach couch thing. You could use the chairs from the Lifepod as the stock design. It would change the footprint it requires in a base to something that is narrow/tall, instead of something that is wide/short. This would fit in well with the other furniture available, and offer a visual cue to the value of the item (resting to save energy). Perhaps change the recipe from [2x Titanium], to [1x Titanium, 1x Fiber Mesh 1x Silicone Rubber]. That would make it a more expensive to craft, compared to other furniture items, but it offers a real benefit in game, so it should cost more to make. None of those raw materials are difficult to find/make, even at the start of the game, since there are Kelp Forests nearby.
If this seems like a good idea, perhaps you can add the same functionality to the chair in the Lifepod, and allow it to provide the same benefit as the Bench, after the Lifepod is repaired by the player. That would help out any survivor who hasn't yet built a proper base, by making the Lifepod a viable safe haven (rest, storage, first aid, fabricator).
Thanks
