Airlock Security Levels

[kevinz000]

Try to read this post even though it's written in a very shitty way because I'm tired as fuck, maybe I'l fix this later maybe I won't.

Airlocks are now able to be reinforced with metal or plasteel to make the wires unreachable without tearing down the reinforcement. That's great, you can reinforce your department or autismfort manually.
Only, it's been added to every fucking command, security, AI, vault, or high security door. This has made hacking into secure areas way, way harder than before, as you now need to spend a good amount of time tearing metal (And a HUGE amount of time tearing the plasteel reinforced ones) down. You get eye damage from the welding, it's easier to get detected as you're staying at the door with tools with the panel open longer.
This is making lowpop rounds, where sometimes you just need to hack a door as no one is able/willing to access it, rounds hard. This is making countering an AI hard, as if the AI siphons and you start getting pulled with space wind you can't get the panel off (nearly died to this, what the fuck?) unlike normal where you can immediately start hacking it. This is making playing the game WITHOUT AN AI hard, as not everyone will have access to certain doors and if someone needs help you can't get in as easily even with engineering tools as you're spending more time trying to pry the reinforcement off. It deals eye damage ontop of that(mentioned earlier).

The PR author said that they would not be adding this to the map.
Well, adding it to the door types listed above, all of them being on the map at roundstart, seems to be adding it to the map to me.
IMO this feature has only deteriorated gameplay quality in lower population rounds. Sure, the greytide can't get in as easily, but this is also making it harder for antags and nonantags to break into places when they need to, as well as adding actual damage and a vision restricting item to block that damage, being the eye damage from having to weld stuff. Changed balance considerably with this, as it takes longer to hack doors and AIs can now block people with tools for way longer as they have to spend time getting the covers off.

It's not that awful of an idea for the vault door at minimum, the rest is pretty iffy.

[kevinz000]

I'm mostly miffed because the PR author specifically stated he will not be adding this to the map at roundstart.
Then I get a PLEASENT SURPRISE when I need to hack a door. :/

So basically, it's now easier and simpler to just make False R-walls?

What are welding helmets?

[ShadowDimentio]

Vault, Armory and AI controlled areas are the only places where this is warranted.

What are welding helmets?

Hooray, more gearchecks and punishments if you don't carry around a mandatory half backpack's worth of gear that was mandated by one person making a PR

[Thundercoot]

The extra step of welding the metal cover should be replaced with two steps that don't require a welder. Maybe you need to use a crowbar to pry the cover off a little, then you need to use a wrench or any other small strong weapon (like a knife) to loudly remove the cover by smashing it off.

I mean in this case if it carries the same punishment you could just weld down the walls and decon them.

And it's not like traitors can't get explosives. The only thing this affects is greytiders and people that need to break in but honestly just break a window at that point.

Add in tin cans and a can opener.

Or you know, any other antag that isn't a syndicate traitor but may have a reason to want to get into a specific area, specifically things like conversion modes. Syndicates already get emags to quick open doors, why are we making this a thing? The only way I could see this even being needed is that if you could cut the bolts and thus able to crowbar a door open without needing a multitool/wire cutters.

Clock cult can convert the door. Blood cult can emp or get a construct to break walls. Revs can deconstruct walls or thermite them. Lings can emp screech and crowbar or monkeyform and vent crawl. It just makes hacking harder but there's still options.

[Anonmare]

EMPs aren't good options for Lings since it sends the AI a lot of alerts, plus it's obvious. They're better off Armblading and forcing the door open manually

[oranges]

I'm sure they weren't enabled by default

what happened?

[kevinz000]

I /think/ from observing what airlocks are reinforced, he just put the security levels in the subtypes of the airlocks which are SPAWNED INTO THE MAP AT ROUNDSTART. I'm still too lazy/on phone so I'm not gonna check code yet and hope coreoverload does his revert.

bruh it's only on security and command what's all the whining about.

steelpoint at it again

[D&B]

But muh greytide

[Cobby]

It's not even security, it's just the vault and centcomm according to airlock types

Code: Select all

nah, sec and command have it too. Anything with any non-zero value at all now needs a welder to get through at minimum.

Every time a change makes it harder to build or deconstruct stuff it just means people are going to fall back on killing everyone instead, since that's already the easiest option.

I'll fix it then
