Guide to Atmos overhaul
Posted: Sat Oct 21, 2017 11:56 pm
Hey everyone,
I have played on /tg/ for a long time now, and decided to get somewhat active with the community here.
I like atmos a lot, and I feel like it's strayed away from due to it's complexity. I feel like it's not complex when put into the right context. Our guide to atmos at the moment is quite thick and overwhelming. I feel like atmos can be simplified, and maybe a secondary guide to setting up the atmos loop could be made to make what a newbie sees a little less thick
The functions of the gases, fantastically written.
The properties of gases, again, well written, but that seems more like the wikipedia article than a game article (maybe a link to the ideal gas law would be acceptable?). I added a TL;DR (which there already was one, but I think it being at the end hurt the section). Essentially, it's that high pressure flows to low pressure, and high temperature makes gas take up more room in the pipes.
The type of atmospheric pipes are hidden in https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Atmospherics_items
Basically, the type of pumps aren't really shown in picture form anywhere I could find, and I think it would help when people look at atmos nervously. I think this should be included with the primary article.
I am posting here to start discussion. Let's make Atmos made easy my friends.
