Defeating the point of the thread by mentioning a special soopah sekwit thing for kool kids only instead of actually saying what it is. Nice.

On that note:

Trying to tk grab the singulo causes FUN things to happen.

• Orange juice, every tick, has a 30% chance of healing one oxygen damage.
• Tomato juice, every tick, has a 20% chance of healing one burn damage.
• Lime juice, every tick, has a 20% chance of healing one toxin damage.
• Milk cream, every tick, has a 20% chance of healing one brute damage.

Pete smacking you once or twice, burning your fingers with a cheap lighter. Maybe tea or lime for if you don't manage to get into maint before a radiation event. You only heal a little faster than half that of saline. And with how weak saline is that is really saying something.

Equation for atmos techs who have a breach, with air pressure too low in the room, trying to figure out how much air you need to dump in it with a portable air pump or a canister to make the room habitable again SUPERQUICK. This ain't as hard as it looks like, just add these numbers and wabam:

b = how many tiles the room has
c = how much pressure the room currently has

(5b(91−c)) / 2 = needed air pressure from a portable air pump (or a canister)[/size]

here's the same equation but easier on the eyes:


Literally gamechanging.


My earlier post trying to figure this shit out for anyone interested in theory:

Spoiler:

I made a small equation to help me as an Atmos Tech. If I take a portable air pump or an air canister to a room and release it fully, it's possible to calculate the final pressure the room will equalize in.

I tested with:
10 tile room (10 x 2500 = 25 000 volume) was 0 kPa.
I emptied a portable air pump filled (volume 1000) with 1000 kPa air --> whole room finally equalized at 42 kPa air everywhere.

Equation to use:
(airpumpkPa * 1000) / (howmanytilesinroom * 2500) = how much the overall pressure will rise.

So what happened in my test:
(1000*1000) / (10*2500) = 40, close enough!

Did a second test with 6 tile room which equalized at 70 kPa, should be 66, no idea where the extra few kPa's come from but still, close enough for government work. So if you have a bar with a hole in it, seal the breach, count the tiles, check current pressure in bar, use the equation to see how much kPa you need in the airpump to have the bar within 91-111 kPa so it's liveable again.

Bonus points for saying badass oneliners before you robust them from the shadows. I also really wish you could see the burning red tip of a cigarette in the dark to enhance the crimefighting flavor.

If you're running at 90,000 per solar SMES, then your SMES is only collecting at exactly 90,000. If it's any less then it won't charge at all. This means that when the solars are only getting partial power (amounts from 1 to 89,999 when the sun is only partially in view) the SMES receive exactly nothing and that energy goes to waste. If you wire into the grid, the station APCs will gladly draw that power instead of wasting it.

Two solar setups can power the station at a slight surplus, but if you're going from zero to full then it'll take a long while to top off the entire station like this. Three sets of panels will speed things up and provide a margin of safety in case one of them gets blown up. Four is safe as heck.

The northwest SMES always seems to be low on power while the others seem to do fine. I'm not sure if that solar setup is in the sun's view less often, or what. It still does a handy job of keeping APCs powered, though.

This was fixed a lon time ago. Now smes's draw UP TO their set input amount, as opposed to their input amount or nothing.
Unless this was an NT ony fix, but I'm pretty certain it wasn't.

Anyone know how to get a list of old PR's to search through or something?

Wait, what?
I was under the impression that lethal injection syringes used an entirely separate kind of syringe, same way as SE syringes do.
