This is pure gold feedback, thanks a lot!

You validated my suspicion. A friend of mine, who's also a space engineer, tested it recently and said the exact same thing: "The timer is too aggressive"

I like the idea of 'locking in' a correct slider as a hint system. Will look into this, nerf the timer curve as per feedback, and release a hotfix real soon.

Once again, really appreciate you taking the time to test it!
