APC Repair

Post by carshalash » #490908

At the moment one of the most obnoxious things in the game is dealing with apcs that have been broken, It's a 5 step process to remove the apc entirely once it has been broken, at this point one has to place an entirely new apc shell and circuit somewhere else due to the way APC placement code works.

In the case of this happening on boxstation it is even more obnoxious, something needs to be changed to the process of repairing APCs to make it less of a complicated mess considering just how easy it is to break them and the fact people are more concerned about broken apcs instead of murderboning when nightmares happen.

deconstruct it to the last step and instead of unwelding the apc frame you can use a new apc frame on it to replace it, it's still a lengthy process.

Will it still be set to the same location?

The examine text should probably be updated to hint at the steps for repair or removal if they arent already. It was done for walls and floortiles. being able to figure out how to do things without having the wiki open in another window is overall good for gameplay.

Making it take less steps to decon would also be an unintentional nerf to malfunctioning AIs

I don't care about deconning, I just want it to be less of a pain in the ass for people after a nightmare smashes every apc on the station.
