Given that meteors are very common and spawn rock tiles they are now a very common problem for the engineers who came to fix the damage. However engineers lack the gear to do it. Need to unblock a hallway or a maint tunnel to fix broken wires? You’re now stuck beating rocks with a crowbar for half a shift. This is why engineers dont fix your shit, its just too much of a hassle - better wall the meteor’d part of the station off than waste time trying to get rid of the very common stuff that engineers somehow arent equiped to deal with.
And good luck trying to call salvs, they will arrive 20 minutes later at best, because they’re busy themselves.

You can craft a pickaxe in a lathe, 7 wood and some steel I think it is? I don’t remember if engi has a lathe, but science and possibly cargo do, so just ask for one.

You can also print crowbars and wrenches and all that stuff too. Might as well just give engi stacks of metal and tell them to print their own gear.
My point is that, its a common situation. Lore-wise it shouldnt be the first time engineers deal with asteroids. They should already have pickaxes or drills on hand from the previous shifts.
