Jobs and their "enjoyment threshold"

Post by calzilla1 » #221879

This is going to be shorter than it should be.
All jobs have an enjoyment threshold.The enjoyment threshold is how long something can last until it becomes boring. I think i play a pretty wide range of jobs and i can say the enjoyment threshold is out of wack. For an example, science takes up a fuck ton of time and has a high enjoyment threshold and command has a relatively small enjoyment threshold. The Roboticist is still collecting parts to make his super mech and the scientist is trying to RNG slimes the cap calls the shuttle because"lol bored, let's leave loosers" 10 minutes, 3 attempted recalls and 3 crew dead the shuttle is docked and ready for lift off!
Life is too short for anything meaningful and too long for anything memeingful

Some people have different kinds of fun than others.

Weighing in on this as I've played virology almost only for the past week. Everything can be fun. Just find different ways.

Make a conveyer belt from cloning to cryo and set it to autoprocess and be the willy Wonka of corpses.

Make a sushi kitchen and have that belt thingie.

Botany. I uh. SOIL EVERYWHERE! WHEAT AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE!

Sec. Go to the space hotel and steal the fun as fuck eshotgun. Proceed to sprint down halls firing it in scatter mode and watch as anything in your way drops. Shit yourself when a hulk comes by.

Engineering. Expend the station to be one large box containing the entire z level.

Miner. Mine all of lavaland and be the first person ever to do it.

Atmos. No clue I havent learned atmos.

Chaplain. Turn the station into a dark souls esque station with no lights and only bonfires.

Cargonia. Find the white ship. Then fix up kss13 and live there!

Captain. Fuck off.

Any head besides cap, pick a person from each department and pit them against eachother in the boxing arena.

Science make toys and fuck about every round.

Janitor. Unclean the station and cover it in blood.

Be creative and have fun with your shift friendos.

Mining I believe has one of ( if not) the highest enjoyment thresholds.

You can either hunt for ores, hunt the natives, make rescue missions for vets and beach people, or hunt megafauna.

Atmos isn't that difficult.
I mean, I still can't make a decent singletank, but I can teach you the basics and finer points of atmos in one round or two.

There's no greater challenge than playing Doctor or CMO and genuinely trying to keep the endless dumbfuck parade alive.

Atmos is piss easy.

There aren't actually that many things that you can do with it that translate to any actual use though.....

You can have some fun with the disposals/transport tube system though.

A fun thing to do in atmos is try to hook the primary plasma tank directly up to the combustion engine, fuck up and flood med-sci maintenance with plasma gas.

on the arrival shuttle, I saw the iconic toolbox on the ground. I clubbed myself in the head with it trying to figure out the controls.
Setting the tool box, now bloodied, back on the table; I went to heal myself with a medkit. I clubbed myself in the head with that too.
I've come a long ways from asking how to switch hands.

The HoP just toolboxes someone to death out of nowhere, then gets speared by a chemist who saw him murder a guy, then the chemist gets beaten to death because someone else saw him kill the HoP.
Tele-man somehow dies and gets its looted by an atmos tech who managed to use it to send two nuke ops to lavaland, who were then surrounded by several very angry people from earlier and some extra golems on top of it.
Captain dies, gets cloned/revived, lasers the guy holding the disk into crit to take it back.
Some idiot tries to welderbomb the AI hiding out at mining for no discernible reason.
Two permabans and a dayban, i'm expecting a snarky appeal from one of them soon. What the fuck.

I just rig plasma so that it looks sabotaged but really only fills the turbine and wait until someone comes to beat the ligger.
