That's a fair point, and i can understand how it might feel a necessity to some people. At the same time, however, considering it's already playable without doing so, it would only be something that min-maxer type of players would really want or feel the need to do. The hope is that it provides some benefit to higher skill/more efficient players who would be looking for an additional reward for not just finishing a mission, but finishing it professionally and efficiently

It could be based on the percentage of your parts that you managed to bring back in one piece. If this seems too op for standard survival, maybe make it an option for sandbox as a modifier.
