Hello,
i recently landed on rabbasca on my science multi run, and as i like the hacking method it quickly grew old for me ( aside from needing to do it many time to get even started - so i would suggest some improvements

• add a option for duration time for hacking
• allow also the simple one to be inserted (maybe with some random hacked duration time)

At the moment i feel i would import the usual resources like water and such from space, but that would defeat somewhat the mod purpose...

-----------edit--------
I figured a good way to make this more reliable, but still i think options about time would be good

If you want to link with other mods which plays around AI or computer tech such like Moshine you could add some additional vault keys using some items from them (for Moshine like a AI-Core, can count to an even longer hacking duration because AI, and you could also go the way to exhaust the AI and give back some degraded AI-cores )
Maybe such an AI key could also makes the output faster ?

What did you have trouble with? You can use turrets to automate hacking, and automating that works the same way with normal and advanced keys.
Advanced keys are one of the first unlocks and they ~10x the hack duration, so I don't think adding more keys would do much.
The difference in hack duration mostly changes how much ammo you need to defend the hacking turrets. And with normal keys you can still keep the ammo amount low by keeping evolution low, and importing stuff from space instead is a valid option to do that.

yeah had the idea with gun turret......
all good :-)
