Oxygen Not Included: Spaced Out! Review (Grifta)

I played enough of the DLC to get all of the achievements and then immediately uninstalled it.
It's a great concept, but everything to do with rockets is just made more annoying. There aren't enough settings on the components for them to be useful, and the rocket's internal capsule is only (barely) functional by using series of exploity door setups.
What I want to do:
-~2000kg of water in a liquid cargo and section off ~1000kg for polluted water
What I get:
-0 or 9000kg/27000kg of a single liquid, or random amounts of liquids in the same tank. You can completely dump all liquid and then micro manage refilling every time it lands (taking ages)
Want - Produce O2 onboard and vent the H, CO2, and any polluted water.
Get - You cannot vent liquids or gasses. If you don't have the corresponding storage module, then it just spills into the capsule.
Want - Have the rocket section closed off to space after landed and rocket exhaust has cleared.
Get - If you seal off the area, then there is no way to tell your dupes to stay inside the rocket until the super-heated steam is gone
Get - If you keep it open to space, then there's no way to keep O2 in the area. There is no way to open up the drywall tiles.
Want - Have a normal dupe able to jump into a rocket for relocation
Get - You have to skill scrub any dupes above 10 morale otherwise they stress break in the tiny cabins.
