Fix Chasms
It's not a huge problem, but lavaland chasms are just way too punishing, even for the deathtrap known as lavaland. It's not only an instant kill, but an instant destruction of the player mob, all for the horrendous crime of stepping on a tile. It's totally out of sync with the rest of the game.
Not paying attention for 2 seconds or hitting a lag spike shouldn't ever be punished with instant death and mob removal. Surely there's a better way to implement chasms.

That's such a terrible comparison. Equating the need to kill changelings by gibbing them to an instant death and gibbing for stepping on a tile isn't even remotely similar. And it absolutely is out of sync. Nothing on lavaland is so punishing for making a mistake.D&B wrote:Get good.
Also get the fuck out of here with that "totally out of sync" bullshit when there's an antag type that can only be stopped by destroying the corpse permanently.
Seriously. I wouldn't even be that opposed to chasms if there was some sort of 5 second opportunity to get back on land before you fall, or if it didn't totally destroy your corpse. It's just so out of wack with absolutely everything else.
You can take several hits from megafauna, but that won't totally expel you from the round.
You can walk around in space or in fire for several minutes like a retard, but that won't expel you from the round.
But if you step on a chasm tile, a chasm which you didn't cause and had no idea was there, or fall into one due to server lag, it's fucking over.
Why not make people that die to fire totally burn to ashes and be uncloneable?
Why not make people who step out into space without a suit burst when they die due to the vacuum?
It doesn't make any sense.

If you quantify every individual action in space station 13, every individual mistake, you can understand what I mean.
Getting hit by a single colossus projectile does not instantly gib you. An extended fight with them does, but not taking the first blow.
Taking a single hit from bubblegum isn't an instant death from full health.
But accidently walking on a tile is.
It would be far more fair for something along the lines of taking huge chunks of brute damage, around 70 or 80, and pulling yourself back up from the bottom of the chasm. That would make more sense. But you could be having the best mining round of your life, then blink and fall into a chasm you didn't see.
It's absolutely not in line with everything else in the game difficulty-wise, and you have to be an idiot not to understand that.

Re: Remove Chasms
From a game design point of view, the point of lavaland is that its meant to be high risk, high reward. While you're correct that most other things aren't the lapse of a single mistake, having chasms serves a key point of keeping people engaged.
In terms of general advice for exploring lavaland without getting chasm'd:
a) Learn your route to the base and back. Avoid walking near lava or chasms whenever possible
b) If chasms are in dangerous places, wall them off with sandbags. Same goes for lava.
I can understand your concern, but it adds a real "attention" cost to lavaland that helps mantain that atmosphere of high risk high reward.

I'd be ok if falling into a chasm dealt something like 80 brute damage if you fall into it, your character hitting the bottom and then having to crawl back up. Otherwise, if it puts you to or below 0, and acts as it does now.
That's a bit more in line with punishment in terms of everything else on lavaland, a bigger hit then any singular mining mob but it's fair due to the multiple items you can have to get out of it, in addition to the fact that it's a still hazard.
Lavaland is absolutely high risk, high reward, but I just think the punishment for making mistakes should be consistent across the board, otherwise you get issues in game design where things they add have inconsistent levels of punishment and difficulty.

want to make chasms more fun? cover them with glowshrooms & plant vines because vines wont drop into them until shit is thrown at them & glowshrooms dont give a fuck.
Eitherway, its irritation but very easily avoidable, moreso if you actually bring along a sheet of metal or rods with you to grille around dangerous ones.

Pockets are 'concealed' on your person, you wouldnt have time to whip out your jaunter if you're already falling out of range down a chasm, also you can put it INSIDE your explorer webbing (which its on the belt as a mining toolbelt almost) more conveniently.Bombadil wrote:But why?
