I’m sure coding a rare welding mask that works with shades which needs to be specifically acquired for the entire one job that wears no armored helmet and wears sunglasses, which usually doesn’t weld enough to worry about protection stronger than shades, will be a worthwhile addition to the game, a...

Quick question, do you guys have an idea of how this will interact with our armor systems? I think this may be a promising idea, but it will need a LOT of design work.

Hey, I jsut wanted to give anyone reading this forum and update. I am currently working on fixing some issues so that I can build up a nest egg of coder GBPs. I am still working on the design for this. I spend a lot of time discussing it on discord as well, but I need to get around to reupdating the...

I think just adding the drills first would be a good addition to mining. As a regular engineer player I would love to manage power nets and machines on lavaland I intend to. Good way to test if they are actually fun. If they have comparable yield to manually mining, then whether or not people use t...

Remove mega-fauna, it gives lavaland a wonky feeling and their effect (the attacks that just delete everything around) on the terrain is fuck-awful annoying. I don't really intend to delete much if any of the rougelike part of mining. I'll probably do some tweaking, but I am honestly scared to touc...

Who the fresh hell unironically believes mining, one of the most popular job on the station below science (which is like 4 jobs in 1), needs an overhaul? I mean, I explain myself pretty well in the linked Google doc. Do you want to address a specific part? In summary though, current mining is mecha...

I just wish lavaland was a random space z level like the asteroid was, it made more sense and let stuff happen like corpses crashing into the mining bay instead of lavaland feeling like an entirely different game. The problem there is that lavaland bosses were designed for full speed in regular clo...

Why does lavaland even have to be its own Z-level? The thing asteroid had over lavaland and that’s still a problem is that mining is so absurdly detached from the station. The only transport being 2 shuttles and a teleporter doesn’t help that. Honestly, I am not 100% sure. I don't know what the lim...

By the way, for new readers. First iteration of the drill's mechanics are complete and on the google doc. Lemme know if you have any feedback.

currently using economy to trade is clunky and boring, as you have to set up a shop in a place and hope someone walks in and wants to buy whatever and even if you were able to sell it you are left with useless cash in your hand which you have to hope someone would accept to give you an item or a se...

I like the idea, but I agree it would have to be for midpop and up rounds. I share the concerns with it becoming a murderbone race, although many of the murdered people would get a chance at being one of the responding roles. Trouble with the Inspector getting a guaranteed chance on the ERT team is ...

It might be more interesting if you take the ore-processing off the station and have all that shit done on lavaland. Add in some sort of basic refinery requirement for all raw ores and suddenly players have reason to set up little outposts around their drill for harvest/refining before shipping sta...

Hey Daxxed, lay off Caiggas a bit. First of all, the drill concept wasn't his to start with, it was mine, and if anyone on the server who knows me, I powergame a lot of mining. I started rethinking lavaland a whole year ago, and even talked to several former headmins and coders about it, and the dr...

This is a reply to Daxxed. I will try and go through and address each of your statements in turn. I will quote a bit, and address the quoted bit. I will try and cover the whole reply, but if I miss something you would like me to address, please feel free to call me out on it. Additionally, I will tr...

Daxxed, thank you for your response. I am currently revising the google doc to clean it up and update with new designs, and I may have to log later because real life and family; however, I do intend to respond to you asap. Please do not apologize about your criticism, by the way. Some of your points...

Meme names and underdog mentality. That's it.

This reminds me of those people looking to start a business by writing a super detailed 50 page business plan but have yet to clock one hour of physical labor in the specific branch. I'm not sure if this was supposed to be a useful statement? Do you not plan large projects before working on them? T...

hat becomes of mining borgs/mechs? Is it to be of an era gone-by? If the station is without miners, currently, someone can take a mech down and get a good load. It's not the same as if dedicated miners were working all shift, but it's better than nothing. With this new system, if no one is availabl...

(Edited for formatting) Karp, thank you for your reply, and especially thank you for posting data. Hard numbers make discussion much more concrete. Regarding addressing equipment directly, ironically, that was my original intent. Near the bottom of my doc is a red highlighted area separated from the...

technically double posting but yes caiggas! i drew everything i posted here (i think? and if i didn't, i made it clear) Phenomenal work. Really. I'm always in awe of good visual artists. I lack the ability to visualize very well, so I can't see what I'm trying to draw in my head. May I ask, are you...

Full damage KPA on station would mean a dualwielder with damage mods could instacrit anyone not wearing a bomb suit, more explicitly. 140 damage in an instant, if short-range, burst. Hooo boy, imagine being a janitor just minding your business when the miner you slipped 3 times last shift comes aro...

So, I know I haven't really fleshed out the exact interface for operating a drill, but old genetics isn't even what I had in mind. Literally none of this will be random guesswork. I will go and finish fleshing it out if I have time, but reset assured I will strive to not make it a boring interface. ...

she's fucking dead https://tgstation13.download/dip/discordimageproxy.php/attachments/499190983590805504/541764445702193162/jilldeadsouza.png Are you the artist, or did you commission this? Either way, that is a great piece of art and I would be extremely interested in getting in contact with the a...

Hi, this is a thread for discussion about a mining overhaul that I am working on. Currently it is in the design stage. I am using a google doc here ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xaNzlukySRDA49QSMiW3mWKSvScsjO8vCvpgUO9X3rE/edit?usp=sharing ) for tracking the overall design. Replies to this th...
