The need for "Crew Only" use permission

[ZombieDupe]

The addition of using rocket interior buildings only when in space is great. But it comes at the cost of having to launch the rocket before the crew duplicants inside need to go to the bathroom, eat, sleep when all of that is set inaccessible until the actual rocket launches. Seriously, just add the option of "Crew Only" on top of setting individual buildings to "Public".

Even better yet add an override layer option to the pilot navigation building in addition to the "Grounded" option to the buildings so that only the actual crew can access them whenever they need to and none else coming in to eat, sleep or have a bathroom break inside the rocket but the crew can do so, when appropriate (while in space) or always so long as they are crew (if we specify otherwise). We still need non-crew to access rocketry areas and do renovations, even supply food and other resources to used buildings after long trips just NOT use the resources and buildings inside just because they can.

I have my rocket buildings set to be controlled and when I open up to non-crew, they will restock the fridges and storage bins just fine.

The one thing that they won't do however is clean the outhouse. (I use an outhouse + compost bin in my rockets to avoid having to manage liquids.) That seems like a silly limitation.

I suggested something similar here, but not in a control station, instead in rocket platform's UI. Reason: when rocket has suit stations inside, non-crew tends to go into rocket to idle, thus blocking actual crew from entering. With the setting, dupes won't be able to enter rocket, thus won't be able to idle in it.

In general players want to avoid launching rockets during lunch time or toilet time, so I feel like this is a separate problem entirely.

I had a rocket automated to launch only during mornings (press a button to prime, rocket will launch next morning), so that a dupe will arrive to the destination before needing to eat or use a toilet.
