Re: P L U M B I N G
I don't see the point of a new job, this would be just like telecomms, a complex snowflakey machinery thing that requires specific knowledge of how it works but you don't really have to touch it unless it's not working properly. And we don't have a "telecomm specialist" job. yes we do have atmos tech but that's more of a legacy thing since this game is basically an atmos simulator and you can do disposal rides and stuff
Just put it under the janitor, after all he's the one responsible for all the watery things, and if a toilet overflows at your workplace/school who's the first guy you're gonna call? Guess who, it's the fucking janitor.
Also I don't really understand what the Synthesizer is gonna do, you say it makes water by default but you also say that it feeds all objects that require reagents, so is it gonna feed stuff like chem and booze dispensers too? Meaning you can bomb it and cut off all chemical supplies?

Re: P L U M B I N G
The synthesizer feeds water to things that require it, like showers, sprinklers, sinks, and toilets. Dispensers remain independent. If you bomb it, it will cut off the flow of reagents to the things that require them.Grazyn wrote:Also I don't really understand what the Synthesizer is gonna do, you say it makes water by default but you also say that it feeds all objects that require reagents, so is it gonna feed stuff like chem and booze dispensers too?

I didn't want to put this to the janitor because they already have a decent amount of responsibility on their own.

Janitor duties:
- cleaning
- cockblock light-breaking thralls
- HERO OF THE STATION when a slaughter demon shows up
Also those water sprinklers could really nerf station fires to the point of making them harmless, might be a pretty heavy change.

Re: P L U M B I N G
Current problem is there is very little you can do with this outside of sabotage. Mass producing healing chems is nice but a few of people use magic sink water as a vital part of their job (Botany, Xenobiology, Chef). It kinda feels like a watered down (heh) atmos at the moment. You can create mass chaos with it (via sprinkler sabotage), and not much else. Maybe if drinking normal water had some sort of benefit so poisoning the water supply would actually have a point.

it's a broad enough term to cover atmos and plumbing.

Maintenance Staff perhaps? You could merge Janitor into that role. They would be responsible for keeping things running, whilst engineers would be the guys who fix things that stop running.

Re: P L U M B I N G
Oh boy, MORE ways for singuloth to lag the station to shit.
I like a new sprinkler system for fire alarms, but ensure they're not up at roundstart, lest fires be nerfed to oblivion.
Also: > "Plumbers are the only ones who can understand all the complex workings of the machine by default". Does this mean it's hard-coded that only plumbers can use plumbing equipment? If so, fuck that shit, terrible mentality to have while coding anyway. Besides, why could anyone, with the right access, fuck with singuloth, tcomms, the AI upload, and atmospherics, but oh no, my precious plumbing is only touchable by those special snowflake roundstart plumbers with their maximum hard RP because we can't be having anyone fixing the water supply after the water becomes acid, and we also need to know EXACTLY who to blame for a mishap.
Just fucking no. The exact same information should be provided regardless of who looks at it as well.

It does make sense for janitors to man the new plumbing system imo. I feel they would be a better fit than atmos techs because atmos techs have the tools to fix the station like engineers do to pass the time, whilst janitors really just clean shit, and on rounds where there isn't much dirt than the randomly spawned shit on the ground at round start, you quickly get bored.

Does that mean all the sinks and shit are going to stop working because you have no plumber man? Because that's pretty shitty.

Re: P L U M B I N G
it's a giant machine that makes infinite black powder/nanomachines/whatever the fuck and is potentially hundreds of times more devastating than a gravity generator if tampered with, and therefore should be maintained to prevent sabotage/to be upgraded with medicine

Re: P L U M B I N G
Any upgrades would actively screw over botanists, xenobiologists, and chefs. Any tampering done would be basically instantly discovered by the same jobs shift clicking their buckets, but I guess it would be kinda useful if you could also orchestrate a plasma fire to set off the sprinklers and cover the halls in chlorine trifluoride/mutagen.PKPenguin321 wrote:it's a giant machine that makes infinite black powder/nanomachines/whatever the fuck and is potentially hundreds of times more devastating than a gravity generator if tampered with, and therefore should be maintained to prevent sabotage/to be upgraded with medicine

Seems like a fair ol nerf to plasma fires in non-traitor play though.
