Idle Chair Animations - Wander Mode

[ZooNamedGames]

Squad has taken the time to give standing Kerbals idle animations and bring Kerbals more to life than ever before; so a few other aspects they could add to further add to their liveliness, they could add-

EVA Chair Animations; When Kerbals are sitting in EVA chairs, they could share some of the same animations as Kerbals in crew pods instead of being static statues that they are now. Maybe add some animations for them moving the little control parts on the arms of the chairs so it looks like they're controlling it? Just an idea.

Kerbal Wander Mode; When this setting is enabled, Kerbals will be free to wander. Over time, they will change they're orientation to look around, and occasionally walk a small distance. This of course will only apply when on a surface (maybe when in water?). When disabled, Kerbals will remain stationary as is. Just another means of bringing Kerbals to life.

What's your thoughts community?

Absolutely. Since Kerbals now have animations both in the command pod and on EVA, EVA chair animations need to be a thing, just to complete the set.

This is also a great idea. I've always thought of Kerbals as easily distracted, so this would fit perfectly.

Oh, this has a lot of potential for hilarity near cliffs and other terrain.

Chair animations would be cool, yeah. Wander mode on the other hand is part of a mod called EVA follower if you are fine with mods.
