Add Controls To Adjust Suit Energy Drain

Title says it. I have to run back every minute or so to recharge my suit, even if I'm just standing around thinking or watching my mining drill do the work. It's really annoying. Energy drain shouldn't be so bad and I don't remember it being this bad last time I played a while back. Food has an option to slow it's effects down. Please add a setting for this as well. Probably Oxygen/hydrogen drain as well just to be consistent.

I suggest admin-ing powerkits and bottles, or having a cockpit near by to sit in.

I usually weld a passenger seat or something near where I work.
It's a fairly easy problem to work around, tends not to be a huge issue for me nowadays.
Note that one may reduce suit power consumption considerably by pressing O to disable antenna and L to disable suit lights.
Sure, advanced world settings for these would be nice.

Yeah, I did notice the light and antenna were dropping it faster. Maybe the antenna I can understand, but not so much the light. Should be a low power LED, but turning those off did help a little. Went from maybe 2 minutes to 3... still annoying, and what I hate the most is when I'm trying to figure something out while building a base or vehicle, it just interrupts me. Maybe we'll get some settings some time, though my best hope is that SE2 will have better customization and balance.
