REVERT SHITTY WIRE CHANGE

>Chill for a bit, feature freeze so coder cancer is in remission

>JK retard we found a way to completely ruin one of the most fundamental aspects of the game in a poorly titled PR that got like 2 comments from other people before merging

>There's like 20 fucking wires and they're random for each door


Hopefully the intelligence of the community hasn't slipped to the point where I have to explain why completely random wiring is terrible.

[TrustyGun]

i literally just went and checked and the wires are not random for each door, they have the same wires which do the same thing just like before

if having random wire colors and a different UI system is "ruining one of the most fundamental aspects of the game" then I guess we might as well shut down coderbus

[InsaneHyena]

Wires are not random, but this change is fucking shitty and needs to be reverted. I have no idea who decided those atrocious colours are a good idea.

[Super Aggro Crag]

crayolawires, as i call them, are annoying.

[Wyzack]

Oldman you silly goose double check the facts before you make a thread, horrible game ruining.thing might have been fixed by the time you actually get around to it

[Saegrimr]

Just ignore it, another one of those "I took a break and something is different everything is RUINED." threads from oldman.

Shoulda seen Feedback after he took that 4 month break.

[lumipharon]

There actually are retarded things from the wire changes though.

Firstly is ling dumb names

secondly is extra wires added to certain item for no fucking reason, that do nothing.

Then with the autolathe, it used to have 3 lights.
1 for hacked items
1 for shock
1 for disabling the thing

Now it only has two lights, but as far as I can tell, it still has all three effects.

[Davidchan]

Actually in agreement with oldman for once, with lumipharon giving the best point. APCs, Air Alarms, Lathes and every other concievable machine that has wires now has the same number of door wires without a reason for them to have so many. 1 or 2 dummy wires in a machine would be fine, but over half? C'mon guys.

The color names are dumb as shit too, with 13 variation of light blue. Wires should be distinctly different, not look like someone just pulled shit out of a crayon box and decided to use that.

[Shaps-cloud]

Hearing assistants call out incredibly specific colors like INTERNAL DISCUSSIONS vs eggshell wires as if they're rabid interior decorators is hilarious and should stay, I have no opinion on the random positions of the wires on each door or increase in wires though

[newfren]

yeah I love the new door colour changes because I always feel like a tit for yelling out that the door wires are mediumblue and gainsboro.

If we could cut down on the random excess wires in everything that'd be grand.

[Saegrimr]

The colors isn't that big of a deal but yeah I just noticed that APCs now have about 3x as many wires as they do actual functions now. No thanks.

[imblyings]

daily reminder that forcing assistants to differentiate between medium green, light green and dark green in a stress situation on randomized position wire buttons that only show the colour without the actual name in text is not sadistic and would be !!fun!!

[TechnoAlchemist]

i think the change is neutral except for the adding wires to everything that used to be 4 wires

[Oldman Robustin]

I haven't been able to replicate it yet but the incident that prompted this thread was me testing wires in atmos maint (no gloves so I had to get it right and remember it correctly). I confirmed both the numeric order and color of the wires for bolting/test.

When I went to the gulag dock to put my skills to use, the test wire was completely different.

Maybe I messed up somewhere but either way I don't see the need for such an absurd number of wires.

[Zilenan91]

I think test wires have been bugged for a while, sometimes doors will have 2 wires that toggle it, even before the tgui update.

I think test wires have been bugged for a while, sometimes doors will have 2 wires that toggle it, even before the tgui update.

that's not a bug, there's a main power line and a backup power line
cutting/pulsing them both disables the door's power for an extremely significant time
cutting/pulsing main power disables the door for a bit until backup power kicks online, and eventually the door will run on main power again
cutting/pulsing backup power wont do anything, unless the door is currently running on backup power, in which case the door is disabled for a significant amount of time

Crayola wires are annoying.

[Wyzack]

Is lightgrey and lightgray still a thing?

[neersighted]

Is lightgrey and lightgray still a thing?

No we had a revolution. The british are gone now.

Crayola wires are annoying.

as the inventor of the term crayola wires you owe me exactly 2 high fives for using my word
