Nerf Disposals

[Jeb]

Yeah, this thread. Fun times ahead.

Paging Dr. Papsmear, requesting a nerf

-------------------------------------

Buildable disposals need to be reworked or balanced, because it shouldn't be "set it and forget it" to build disposal -> space traps on the station. Make it so you have a way to leave a damn disposals trap before it automatically grabs you and fucks you, or make it so it needs to be connected to the disposal systems "magic" air supply rather than being able to generate its own infinitely.

Alternatively, make the disposal chute have to pressurize before it can launch again.

Also, it shouldn't be launching you with the speed of a fucking mass driver into wherever you're going, because you literally can't help yourself at that point, not even throwing anything will help, so you're better off to just succumb.

I'll just remove disposals

Back to trashcans the janitor has to manually empty and take to the crusher and mass driver

[deathhoof]

Please no. Its the funnest thing atmos has.

[Snakebutt]

Please no. Its the funnest thing atmos has.

This would make traitor a lot more interesting if they can toss stuff into the trash and not worry about it going anywhere, particularly if no one ever checks the cans for bodies/bloody evidence/guns

[paprika]

they would get full

I really hope you're fucking joking.

RIP fun because Jeb got dunked.

[paprika]

I can't stop laughing

[leibniz]

I am sorry, I wont build chutes that eject everyone running to escape into space as traitor again, calm down.

[Spacemanspark]

At least we don't have Baystation disposals, in which going down a disposal pipe with more than three turns will kill you.

[DemonFiren]

By virtue of broken bones and IB, no less.

[Spacemanspark]

More of a Baymed thing, I guess.

[DemonFiren]

Well, it still deals brute like a mother.

[callanrockslol]

I ded nerf pls.

[iyaerP]

My favorite part of disposals traps is making a wall of flying floor tilesCASTING BLADE BARRIER! Take 15D6 damage fools!

Seriously though, avoiding a disposals trap is as simple as not walking into it. Although if said trap had space lube in front of it, I can understand how there might be an issue, but honestly, if the traitor has put in that much time and effort, they should be rewarded for it. And disposals traps are hilarious.

[Snakebutt]

Everyone is forgetting the best part of garbage cans: Jack in the box.

You can hide in the can and pop out to robust unsuspecting antags.

[kosmos]

Nerf also disposal outlets without/with power being nearly unnoticeably different.

Antag dunks you, turns off nearby disposal outlet, stuffs your body inside, say goodbye to anyone ever finding your body again.

[miggles]

literally idedplsnerf
nobody even does this that often, and if you get caught in it because you were running too fast, thats the whole point
get dunked nerdo

[Incomptinence]

Buff disposals. Jeb should be used to riding death traps by now.

never 4get disposals making infinite floortiles

[Lumbermancer]

Make "resist" stop you inside the pipe, clawing and pushing against it?

I remember one time, when four people got stuck in disposal pipe below atmos, somehow, and I had to dismantle it to get them out.

So what, you'd start to go backwards or be able to control movement inside the pipe?

[miggles]

no, youd just stop and resist out like when youre in a locker
i dont think thats a good idea since shitlers will just go through the pipes and purposefully resist out to break down the whole system
plus it makes escape via disposals too easy, you can just pop out in maint somewhere and never be found

[Cipher3]

My first thought would be resisting when under an area like the HoP's or something.

[Amelius]

Fuck no. For so many reasons.

1. Disposals traps take one weld and one wrench to remove entirely, whereas it takes multitudes that of very obvious, conspicuous work that is only really readily accessible to 2 jobs (atmos, CE). Also, one bomb most anywhere in maintenance, will destroy many disposal traps entirely.

2. They aren't unfair, you can see them coming from halfway across the screen unless you have a mile-long lube slide, and even then they've gone to the effort of getting chemistry ingredients AND did extraordinarily conspicuous work in public.

3. There's nothing about them that prevents telling others about them after or before falling victim to one.

For these reasons, if anything, they need a buff.

[lumipharon]

Yeah seriously, shit like this takes a lot of time and effort to do, and anyone that actually knows what they're doing will be able to see pretty easy that it's sus as shit.
Creative shit like this should be promoted, not nerfed into the ground. Sure, IF you run into it blindly after 20 minutes of setting up, and it's not damaged at all, it's ggnore. But guess what, stun'n'space is more ggnore and requires zero effort and time to pull off.
