I recognize it's not needed for gameplay but I like the idea of upgrading my personal construction robots. Unfortunately because you can't travel with them between planets this involves duplication of effort making it less appealing. (Same as how it would be a pain to have to make a power/mech suit at each planet, albeit much smaller).

TLDR quick suggestion is allow the player to travel with some number of personal construction bots. I don't think this would un-balance the game, but if it is a game balance issue to limit rocket stuff then the robots could be permanently a part of the suit?

The limit for what you can take with you on the rocket does seem kind of arbitrary, perhaps instead they could make the player have a weight, and as long as that plus their entire inventory (including equipment modules, armor, weapons etc.) is less than one ton, all is good.
