Just a minor suggestion: Add an electric guitar to maintenance or move the one in the clown's office elsewhere.

Other than that, +good.

Ok so in addition to lawyer's privacy shutters missing:
-cook has no access to toggle HIS privacy shutters, either
-I saw botanists and the janitor being ablue to enter the kitchen
-virology has no bolts/airlock cycler
-a pipe segment is missing in HoP's office and on the AI sat around the borg charging stations

Added lawyer's privacy shutters, fixed piping and fixed chef access for the privacy shutters in a recent un-merged update. Botanists and custodial crew can access the kitchen if given access in the round, but do not regularly have access. Virology is intended to be that way.

A couple of things I've found regarding the supermatter engine.

1. It's way too difficult to blow it up.

The plasma fire will burn through the floor long before it blows, venting the chamber to space and stopping delamination. On two occasions as a ghost I've witnessed borgs failing to blow it up, and was unsuccessful on my test server last night. I fixed the floor, then replaced the floor tiles with a reinforced floor. Afterwards I could actually get instability above 25% without melting the floor. It still took forever even with gas temperatures in excess of 5000K in the chamber for it to go. My understanding was after 800K it should go boom fairly quickly, as that's how the shard engine I've been playing with works. Crystals may be more stable for some reason, but I don't see why. Which leads to number 2.

2. The result of the crystal exploding was rather underwhelming.

Probably nothing to be done here as far as the map is concerned, but I'll bring it up anyway. I was expecting something worse than a lvl 5 sing. It basically destroyed atmos, and everything to the east as far as the kitchen and bar. Some damage happened further out, mainly cracked windows. The engineering foyer was left intact. I was hoping for something that would be powerful enough to set the tesla(ugh, why do people use this thing, it sucks), or sing loose. Now, if it was placed one rwall away from the bridge...

Now, on to the sing/tesla engine.

Ok, I like the layout of engineering in general, and what I've seen of the rest of the station. This is also my opinion about all maps that use this engine, not just this one.

Take the tesla components out of the containment area and put them in storage. Easy mode engine should require more effort to set up. It's sad that the solars require more effort to set up than the tesla. I seldom see a sing anymore, and a month ago it seemed to be the dominant engine setup. Want to run a tesla? Then drag all that crap out there and set it up, otherwise use the sing. The only round that I've played that used the sing in the last week was one where I was the only engineer, and managed to get the sing set up minus the PA before the CE showed up and asked if the tesla was ready.

It seems I'm always getting into fights over actually wanting to be an engineer, and run an engine that requires attention, not set it and forget it. I guess I'm one of the few who don't want to go easy mode just to run off and do whatever, but it's seriously boring when you can just turn the PA on wide open, leave, and the engine will stay contained. I honestly miss my first rounds where more often than not Lord Singuloth would be an uninvited guest in atmos.

Anyway, i shouldn't be venting my frustrations here. The map is great overall, and making the supermatter engine dangerous might just get me back in atmos where I can ignore the CE's orders to not fire it up.

I've added reinforced floorings to the supermatter engine containment room, and they'll be included in the next batch of updates. Remember, oxygen and mix with pure hot plasma for a lovely fire to unstabilise the crystal!

roadrage wrote:2. The result of the crystal exploding was rather underwhelming.

Currently the supermatter is using the same explosion size as the one present on birdboatstation. While the explosion size or features may be underwhelming, its more apt to be released and do immediate damage than a standard singularity or tesla engine, and opposed to the dastardly engines that can gradually destroy the station, the supermatter does immediate damage to a large portion of station structure, and causes mass-hallucinations.

I'm glad you're enjoying it, let me know if you have any more ideas or feedback, I'd be more than happy to read! : )

I did add some shades in the most recent update, as I previously forgot them! Glad to hear you like the variety of cigars though!

not a horrible layout; some confusion but it cleared up pretty quickly thanks to similarities to meta

maintenance is more excessive than dreamstation's bar why the fuck

there's a ton of fluff

There is an excess pipe manifold above surgery observation.

Could you add 2 pieces of silver ore to the mining dock? Literally every station has this box and meta.

The bar is a pain in the ass to get behind as bartender. You either have to go around through maint or clamber over it, both process taking a long ass time.
I'd suggest either a windoor or a door into the backroom from the theater.

Deltastation has no centcom shuttle, meaning ERT and stuff are screwed.

The space cleaner bottle in the brig starts out empty. I just want to keep my brig clean.

Also the mining shuttle airlock doesn't have a tiny fan and its probably one of the areas that most needs it, especially because being exposed to a brief millisecond of 0 pressure will hit you with tiny amounts brute damage on your whole body.

The Atmospheric turbine room's pipe layout doesn't work with the current setup. The vent connected to the outflow pipes should be a scrubber.

Had a few rounds on delta, noticed some things that were bugging me near engineering

Atmospheric solars aren't connected to the powernet, it's also missing a panel on the second-left row.
SM filter is horribly inefficient, I'd recommend losing the filter, replacing it with a bent pipe and putting three gas filters beneath it.
Atmospherics has no easy access to plasma canisters to fill the collectors up.

it's being maintained though. i've fixed several bugs on it and i'll continue to do so if noone else wants to, although i know shizcalev is also fixing bugs and that other guy who made the thread for it.

Going to be getting back to work on this hopefully since I'm back on the server. Working on updating the engineering department first, feel free to begin reposting any issues or faults you may have with the map!

Posted: **Wed Oct 25, 2017 5:19 pm**

My grumble with Delta these days is there's no back way out of/into Atmospherics. Pubby, Meta and even Box all have back entrances into Atmosia, and I know Meta and Box both have a back entrance into the enginebay as well (from the north on Meta, or the west by the SMES room on Box).

As it stands now, the only way into or out of the enginebay without going through space is through the doors at the south end of the enginebay. The only way out of the Atmos department without unwrenching the flaps in the front desk office is through the engineering foyer.

For the engineering area, the only areas I can think that would work for additional doors would be one leading from the containment airlock into the CE's room, or moving the APC and putting an additional door there. The latter might actually work, let me know what you think:

Spoiler:

For atmospherics, it gets a bit trickier. We can either have an external hatch that allows you to enter into the gravity foyer (which wouldn't make a lot of sense) or, more plausible, we could change the rectangular area into a little bridge across the area. This opens up the loop to being sabotaged a bit easier, and makes it easier for individuals to get out of (or into) atmospherics, for whatever good/bad that'll bring. What do you think?

Spoiler:

EDIT: Alternatively, we can add an "emergency escape" tunnel with two reinforced doors on one of the rectangles here.

Spoiler:

Posted: **Thu Oct 26, 2017 2:41 am**

Decided on adding an "emergency exit" to the supermatter chamber that consists of two reinforced airlocks and a small emergency supply in between. It should be easy for atmospheric technicians to get through, but more time consuming for your run-of-the-mill assistant to break through due to the aforementioned.

Posted: **Thu Oct 26, 2017 11:09 pm**

Oh, when I said enginebay, I Was referring to the SM engine, not the former Singulo. The former Singulo area's fine; there's a maint door at the south end.

I like the idea of the emergency exit in the SM room proper the best. With it that way, there's no "dead end" in Atmosia.

I mentioned it in ahelp but figure I would also post here. Adding a telecoms supply room or at least the parts to replace TComms when it gets trashed might be a good idea. I think all other stations have it in some form.

I can probably fit the supplies into the technology storage area, I'll see what I can do next update batch.

The incinerator is in atmosherics

Posted: **Tue Feb 13, 2018 3:14 pm**

I'm not sure if this was mentioned before, but I want to ask about it now. I'd like to make a request to reposition security checkpoints to near the front doors of each department.

This might be a challenge, but I have a reason. From my limited experience with IRL security, security checkpoints are often at the entrance to a facility, not in the center, so the security officers who are on duty can monitor people going in, making sure it's only the right people, and those who don't have clearance have a good reason to be there. Right now it's difficult to stop a clown from entering medbay without being at the regular front desk instead of the security desk.

If it's difficult, I might try my hand at adjusting their placement. Before I even try, why are they where they are in each department? The engineering one makes sense, but the rest of them I feel are at the heart of each department, and it makes me wonder why, since it seems deliberate.

Posted: **Tue Feb 13, 2018 5:30 pm**

Science's is at the entrance and medical's is close enough that it can plausibly be considered overlooking the entrance. No worse than meta's on either map IMO.

BeeSting12 wrote:Science's is at the entrance and medical's is close enough that it can plausibly be considered overlooking the entrance. No worse than meta's on either map IMO.

I guess I didn't notice science, which is actually better than engineering in my mind. Engineering could have some reinforced windows to view who's coming in similar to science. I feel like this setup is perfect, since security can let them in easily, without letting them into the department outright. I forgot to mention security has a nice set up with their checkpoint as well.

I was mostly thinking of medical and supply, they have their security checkpoints in the center instead of near the entrance. I think the way it's set up in medical is great, as it's easier access for those coming in for emergencies, but I think this also limits the ability for the security officer to do something if someone enters who shouldn't be. It's easier to prevent people entering in the first place compared to get people out.

Cargo, looking at it, is more to observe the cargo techs than to stop people from entering. Maybe that's to ensure they don't order bad stuff?

Posted: **Wed Mar 14, 2018 9:20 pm**

I've been hating on Delta in OOC but that does nothing to actually make it better
Can we please get an extra one or two cells inside of Security? I know we have some in each department (nice unique feature btw), but I'm not going to risk running to another department to arrest some body.
Also, I understand that we want more departmental interaction, but with the new RnD/Protolathe features we really can't afford to have ORM privatized.

Since "proper" material distribution will probably take a while, I'll try to open a PR today that moves the ORM.
