During March 2025, Comet Strile refactored the operating table system in the vgstation-coders/vgstation13.5 repository, converting it from a machine into a buildable furniture item. This change streamlined the build workflow by making the operating table accessible through the G menu and integrating it into the furniture construction category. Using YAML for configuration and leveraging an entity component system, Comet updated the construction graph and removed machine-specific components and recipes. The work improved usability and reduced maintenance complexity, aligning gameplay with a furniture-first construction approach. The depth of the refactor addressed both technical debt and user experience consistency.
