Such a "community driven" project.

How do I physics.

Kyrah Abattoir

Personally I kind of LIKE that changing suit makes you extremely vulnerable for a few moments.

Kyrah Abattoir

Racks should prevent items from being moved around by pressure differences.

Kyrah Abattoir

How does that has to do anything with my suggestion? The solar array case was just an example.

Kyrah Abattoir

A while ago SMES cells behaved like so: When the SMES power os fully drained, the output switches to OFF. Currently, the output will remain set to on no matter what, this makes solars a lot less interesting, back then, if you didn't let the SMES "charge up" for a bit, the power drop that s...

Currently vents can pressurise a room to a given pressure but we don't have anything to lower down rooms that are simply overpressured, short of siphonning. Freon and chilled gasses can cause the temperature to drop. Pressure in the room will drop as gasses contract, which will trigger the pressure ...

Looks so cramped and I weep at the "simplified TEG"

Kyrah Abattoir

I like it! good old memories.

Kyrah Abattoir

When it's running tho, it's a bit like the singulo's shutters, as i said, inspecting the burn chamber is useless after the first cycle because of all the lights blowing out.

Kyrah Abattoir

Wouldn't that be less FUN(tm) ? I just like the infernal vista this is creating. A bit like the old goon engine used to be this raging hellfire with engineering right in the middle of it. But an airlock to the inside of the engine, in my mind, would be something deep in maintenance, i'm not sure tha...

Kyrah Abattoir

When I did my test at the start of a burn cycle, it took... a good 5-10 seconds before the glass started cracking. I'd say that's more than enough? It might depend on the burn mix used. An airlock could fit east of the TEG if i slightly enlarge the area and nudge the transport tube up a little. One ...

Here is an idea I had today, slight modification of the burn chamber that solve a few issues: >It's a bit too safe. >The lamps in the chamber always blow up, making the camera feed useless. https://i.imgur.com/knAB3mT.png The burn chamber would have a window, with a set of shutters (which should REA...

Jesus i forgot this picture was so outdated, i'll have to make a new one I guess. the firelocks are now "on" the doors, as they should be, those where the old ones we had i believe. I'm thinking security could definitely use a revamp, maybe have those "electrified glass cells" wi...

Kyrah Abattoir

I've been trying to fix/maintain some aspects of the map but i'm starting to believe that i might be going at it the wrong way. It definitely needs a vault to store the blueprints in and the self destruct, and i cannot find a good spot to place it, a minimal "secure" vault would have to be...

There is one aspect of atmos/engineering that has been way played down and is very important on a space station: HEAT. Sure the cold of space is one way to die, but on a (real world, i know) space station, heat has nowhere to go and must be radiated away. Currently all we have that really produces h...

Good idea, I could probably provide a sound for that, I made two for a walkie talkie last year, but as people mentioned, it should not be too annoying.

Kyrah Abattoir

Wouldn't that be a bit too.. distracting?

Kyrah Abattoir

A little idea I thought of when watching this SS13 youtube video: [youtube]mkV-CxIRb24[/youtube] Basically, everytime you hear someone speak ingame (not on radio), it would be punctuated by a small audio cue similar to the ones that have been added to this video. It could even be pitch shifted so ea...

Kyrah Abattoir

I'm just putting this one on ADD personally.

Kyrah Abattoir

Well as soon as I'm on the payroll, feel free to tell me what to do. But until then I'll stick on doing what I think is right, or interesting.

The rare few PRs I do are either maintenance work or personal projects anyway so it doesn't matter too much to me if they get merged or not.

Kyrah Abattoir

Goofball, ALL THE MACHINES SHOULD BE BUILDABLE.

At least that's my two cents.

As for the field generator parts resisting singulo pull, yess please... they should only get torn off if the singularity is forced to enter their tile because it's too big.

Kyrah Abattoir

Sooo... we don't have idle, running, walking, animations for humans for obvious reasons (ease of sprite maintenance, less work required to add new sprites) but lizards absolutely have to have an animated tail?

Kyrah Abattoir

to make it more noob friendly, No. Literally nothing has ever been improved with this mindset. Ever. I have to agree with this, dumbing stuff down just so more people can do it easier is a bad idea, read the wiki, figure it out yourself or *gasp* ask for someone elses help with it if you don't know...

Kyrah Abattoir

Yes i do, the last block of my previous post appears to work with all the color mixing modes. Your last example uses icons. This thread is about using the color var. Not even remotely the same thing. Look at when i multiply a color into the sub sprite then maybe? My example is for the "but my ...

Well that could be one thing, can completely using the destructive analyzer on "stuff we already know" so you can only research on minerals, monster drops, artefacts, ...

Kyrah Abattoir

You could have a chance for things like stun prods that every time you use it it might come apart? As for IEDs it could have a chance of not blowing up at all.

Yes i do, the last block of my previous post appears to work with all the color mixing modes.

Kyrah Abattoir

This might be too much but how about gas cooling the reception coils with a co2 based cold loop?

Kyrah Abattoir

I think any member of a department has a right to suppress an intruder until either security can deal with it, or in order to remove him from the area.

That's not a right to kill tho.

Rubber ducks? why not Amusing Duck ->

- Dispersers: Certain machines, like the Public YouTool, could force you to buy the tools. Or food or whatever. Where would you earn any tho? - Cargo: Cargo can buy and sell items on the open market. There is no such thing as an open market if cargo is the only place that can order things. Please.....

Kyrah Abattoir

You could probably create an interaction between library and R&D where R&D would have to cooperate with the library for some research material?

Kyrah Abattoir

I think it's a terrible idea and will detract people from playing their role.

Kyrah Abattoir

Yeah i don't think i ever got an assistant to follow any orders that they didn't want to do in the first place.

Kyrah Abattoir

I completely agree with Amelius about 2 things: We need a job like Mechanics that are essentially Assistants 2.0 (NOT Greytide 2.0!) And that Assistants are a Blank Canvas Job, which means they should have some things added to them (with caution ofc) instead of removed. Not much we can do about the...

Kyrah Abattoir

I've been having a stab at this, and so far I'm running into an issue where "object" overlays (opposed to icon_state overlays that we currently use) won't show on the HUD (you only get the base object's sprite). I'm not sure why it's doing that. What work(and is used basically everywhere i...

Because a coder can't sit down and 'make things better'. Ideas need to be specific.

This is a thread for feedback.

My bad, can someone move it?

Kyrah Abattoir

Right now, R&D can be summed by the following points: Too obscure for a beginner. Require following a cheat sheet in order to be efficient. Tedious fetch quest. It has no variety from round to round. It punishes experimentation (if you consider that there is any room for experimentation in R&...

Kyrah Abattoir

Well, between being able to speak more than 300 languages and having an engineering integrated toolset, what do you pick :p

Kyrah Abattoir

Frankly considering you only get a small chance to play antag, it's pretty shitty if you solely play the game to be antag, suicide, or do nothing while eating tools others might need.

Kyrah Abattoir

Anyone played Spy on Goon? Isn't it like Rev, but better? Read about it on the Goon wiki. It sounds very similar to and also the exact opposite of Rev. The difference is Spy is about being sneaky to take control. I kinda like the concept because unlike rev it direct the heat away from the station i...

Well would this have to be setup in vacuum still? Could this thing have a tendency to follow electrical cables?

It's pretty damn rare nowadays to have the shuttle called and nobody realize that a bunch of traitors are actually on the shuttle and accomplished their objective.

Kyrah Abattoir

There is a moderate amount of pressure, but this tesla engine, while cool seems to negate what makes the singularity terrifying.

Kyrah Abattoir

If it means less esword maintenance camper, i'm all for it.

But lets not forget we already have chem implants and chest cavity "objects"

Kyrah Abattoir

I do wonder if it will not make engineering a snorefest tho.
