particle accelerator construction is horrible

[PKPenguin321]

There is no indication of what goes where. The two flaps at the bottom look almost identical. The side the console goes on, as well as the chamber the console must be adjacent to, has no indication of how it should be oriented. The console gives no indication of what parts are not found when it is placed.

This needs to be fixed, I've almost never seen somebody assemble a PA from scratch without fucking it up at least once or twice.

Fuck ups aren't exactly hard to fix though, and how often does a PA need to be assembled.
It should come with some instructions on a piece of paper or something though.

[BeeSting12]

I can 100% agree with this, one time the PA was broken roundstart and Okand had to spawn herself in to fix it for me.

[ShadowDimentio]

Just make the console tell you what the problem is.

Alpha array--> Acceleration chamber--> Focusing Lens--> EM Containment Grid

That's how the Pa layout should be

[Atlanta-Ned]

This could be easily resolved by adding subtle arrows to the PA sprites. Conveyor belts suffer the same problem.

Don't forget BSA, it uses the same sprite. I remember trying to put it together in cargo, 10 people couldn't do it. Then admin came down in the form of centcom engineer, and he couldn't do it right away either, despite having superpower to rotate all the pieces.

[Wyzack]

This thread is correct it fucking sucks and is really finnicky/hard to see. No reason for that.

Same with gas mixers.

There is no indication whatsoever which port is port 1 and which one is port 2

There is no indication whatsoever which port is port 1 and which one is port 2

isn't port 2 always the side port?

I don't know, but there is nothing indicating this.

Port 1 is the port that faces the same direction as the input port. Port 2 is the side port
