Re: Note on power and engines
tbh the teg is just the turbine but you plug into it directly instead of pumping air in front of it so it's not a huge loss, theyre almost the same thing

Re: Note on power and engines
How will this impact the division of labour between atmos and engineering?
I feel the engine is becoming more and more an atmos device and it keeps getting harder to justify the division of engineering into atmos techs and engineers.

Re: Note on power and engines
reminder the TEG's OPness can be changed by a single define
also TEG should stay as a sidegrade to the turbine for the engine. More power potential, but you have to contend with piping, no residual gases, no stored heat and a cold loop.

Re: Note on power and engines
If this was done would there be changes to how atmos and gas reactions work? Right now my biggest problem with atmos and things involving gas is the same reason I dont play goon - it feels like it requires metaknowledge to use. You either know what mix produces a fuckton of power / can be "accidentally" released to kill the entire station, or you know nothing and have no choice but to just fuck off

I strongly suspected the borgs were one humaned by the Captain because of their increasingly strange behavior throughout the round after the Captain had entered their upload and seemingly changed the laws.

Re: Note on power and engines
So instead of buffing radiation collectors so they're able to do the job they were intended to do, you'd opt to reduce the supermatter crystal into an overly complicated and excessively dangerous Thermoelectric generator, which freezers and heaters could power more effectively? Your rationale for doing this is because radiation is laggy?
If I start running around the station with a supercharged yellow slime core and an inducer, are you going to remove that too?
If you want variation in engine design, then you can use each engine type on a different station. Meta can use SM, Delta could use Tesla, Etc. The lowest effort answer which isn't destructive would be to fix radiation collectors to be useful.
Only, if you fuck up during this experimentation process, you get arrested, job banned, or murdered, or all three.angelstarri wrote:how about actually try to learn the system and experiment rather than immediately quitting because you think its too hard (protip: its not)

Read: Nobody is allowed to use anything other than the machine I worked on. Everything else will be removed.

The supermatter has this depth because I have applied a relentless focus and commitment to cementing it as the sole engine.

Re: Note on power and engines
Bro he's getting rid of rad collectors because you can glitch the radiation contamination system to generate like 80MW with pure n2 not because it's "laggy".
...Relax dude :^)
Also wtf do you mean "buff rad collectors"? They work perfectly fine?

Re: Note on power and engines
This is just wrong. Oranges has not been the author of any of the recent major changes to the sm. Hell it's not even our engine, we ported it from bay 6 years ago and supercharged it.Relaxe wrote: Read: Nobody is allowed to use anything other than the machine I worked on.

I am curious about what you mean by useful tho. What about rad collectors needs changed?

Re: Note on power and engines
To be fair, when temperature bugs out it sorta kills everyone (when not in a canister) which is different in scope to how when you exploit (not really a bug) how radiation works it's perfectly safe to anyone not in the engine - and lmao assistants automatically dying when they trespass is a feature.

Re: Note on power and engines
It just occurred to me that this thread started with "The supermatter is so bugged that we need to refactor it" and it wasn't even two pages in before the "we will only use the supermatter engine" conclusion was reached. You can't even order the supermatter from cargo, or set it up from scratch.

not sure how playing would change that. I personally don't/didn't ban for it so any ruling changes would not have affected me.

Re: Note on power and engines
possible confirmation bias, but I saw people get warned/beaned for it fairly often, mostly because it's hard to tell if it's intentional or not, and multiple delams over multiple rounds can be seen as repeated griefing instead of continued experimentation.

The thing is it's incredibly easy to recover from almost anything if you have a decent understanding of the generic engine.deedubya wrote:possible confirmation bias, but I saw people get warned/beaned for it fairly often, mostly because it's hard to tell if it's intentional or not, and multiple delams over multiple rounds can be seen as repeated griefing instead of continued experimentation.
If you delam the engine multiple times in a row it's safe to assume either you fucked it on purpose (and are trying to play off that you're a bumbling idiot) or you really have absolutely no idea what you're doing any maybe you should take a break from the engine because your incredible ineptitude is ruining other player's rounds and you really should learn the basic concepts first.
If you really are going balls to the walls experimental mad scientist then it should be quite apparent that your setup is incredibly different to what everyone expects (and really you should know what is going to kill the crystal or not and be able to salvage anything barring some guy BoH bombing it).
Hell especially if you let off singuloth/tesla. It's believable that some idiot accidentally telsas the station because the condition is amazingly easy but singuloth outright requires a condition that will never come naturally so you can practically guarantee it was intentional from someone.

Re: Note on power and engines
Okay, some quick notes from my work on containment:
Field generators grant turfs underneath infinite heat resistance. These probably need some cleanup for corner cases.
A turf only runs melt checks if it has an active hotspot. This means walls can never melt. Pipes are not designed to melt. This would require working with pipenet code.
Most turfs have obscene heat capacity. Reinforced plating is infinite.
Maybe with rads gone running heat checks all the time won’t be so bad.

Why even bother with pretense. Just say that you want to axe singulo and tesla because, in your plan, they have no future.
This would at least make it clear that there's no point arguing for their continued existence.
