Powerless bolting

[Scott]

Gameplay vs Realism - Applies to hacking and silicon operating

Other solutions?

[Saegrimr]

For silicons? No.
Hacking, maybe. With a crowbar/wrench and some wind up time to manually lift the bolts.

[Zilenan91]

Yeah silicons shouldn't be able ot bolt/unbolt without door power. Humans should with hacking.

[killerx09]

Can you still use eswords to cut door bolts?

[Zilenan91]

nope that got removed for some stupid reason. It was probably paprika.

[Lumbermancer]

Borgs should be able to if they interface directly with the airlock.

You can currently only remove a depowered/bolted airlock by using an RCD or explosives right?

[Wyzack]

I think it is fine the way it is, not everything in this game needs to be super easy to do. Just decon a wall if you need to get around one in a hurry

[Zilenan91]

It's a problem on the new box AI core because everything is rwalls.

This has let to some stupid shit, such as borgs spamming walls of bolted doors during malf because without RCD they are harder to destroy than even reinforced walls.


Perhaps welders should be able to cut bolts with a sizeable delay (1-2 minutes or so).

[Actionb]

Give engineering access to some heavy duty bolt cutters to cut into bolted airlocks/steal bicycles with.

Other than that... RCDs aren't exactly rare, so don't be a lazy fuck and acquire one before assaulting the AI core.

They have done that since the dawn of time. And it rarely saved the AI against a competent crew - quite the opposite actually.

If it's really a problem then give Engineering some heavy duty bolt cutters with spares orderable from cargo.

Please, please, *please* don't give any to science. They already have enough answers to almost any situation as it is.

That said, I like to mix it up a notch with energy shields and field generators. Nothing funnier than watching some goyim rush through the (apparently) all-access airlock only to get bounced back out by the emitter-powered field generator

Just give the bolt cutting abillity to welders, simple and effective.

[Saegrimr]

Do you really want permanently broken bolts on doors, or disabled until power is restored?

[ShadowDimentio]

Is this seriously necessary, to have a quick and easy solution to everything? Bolted doors are supposed to be a hinderance.

Yes.

RCD is already a completely easy way to remove them. In my opinion way too much emphasize is put on having a RCD to solve every problem.

[lumipharon]

If a door has been depowered you can just cut and remend the test wire to repower it, then unbolt it though.

This should only ever be an issue if enviro power at the apc is turned off.
