How do you use the disposal mailing system

Post by Shadowflame909 » #640897

>See mail.
>Remember that time your disposals system chucked your departments mail out
>Let me do that too!!
>Wrap mail parcels individually
>Use scanner and mark every mail to their department (Except for assistants since they have no department)
>Shove them down disposals
>Accidentally shred and delete everyones mail except for assistants

Why is there no wiki guide on this

PS: If you know how to sell items on the cargo shuttle, but link that purchase to individual ID cards. Please also post that. Like selling plasma, but instead of cargo getting the credits for the sale, your ID does. Someone did that for me one time.

you gotta swipe your ID on a sales tagger and then just slap the barcode on a parcel (and pray cargo doesn't tear it off thinking it's a bomb or something)

I know i could, but its simply more enjoyable to have deliverydog ian help you with it being personable in the halls like Postman-Pat and his .38 Gat (concealed carry with a tasteful chrome finish and hardwood + carbon grip.)

Ian chases people to deliver letters based on millenia old shitcode dictating they take objects named after people when they're thrown, which automatically fires with mail.

To send mail to a specific destination you need to use a destination tagger (the thing that looks like a pizza cutter, NOT the hand labeler) on a wrapped package (after setting a destination by using it in hand) and throw it into the same thing that sends trash to the recycler. Note that this may not work as expected if any of the pipes along the way were blown up/otherwise altered.

wrap with brown wrapping paper, use destination tagger in-hand to check desired destination. click brown package with tagger, hear "beep"

chuck it through the disposals conveyor thing in cargo and it'll magically appear in the department it was tagged for

also if you fuck it up or if the tube goes straight to disposals the mail gets shredded.
dont worry about it, who cares about getting money or sick loot or the secret chem recipe in mail.

in case you do, you can just deliver the mail by hand. it's strangely rewarding, too.

I've tried this on LRP servers where im more cautious than usual to go out into the halls, but i seriously worry for the amount of brown paper decal shreds it procures, what's up with that? Other than that little gripe, it works perfectly fine as long as the pipenet is intact.

This reminds me, a good random event to add to the Wizard's magical randoms would be putting wormholes over all the disposal pipes for the rest of the shift. Call it the Warp Zone Protocol or something.
