Smoke explosion grenade meta.

Post by Turbonerd » #642043

Allowing reagents to react in smoke clouds, what could go wrong? The meta smoke cloud grenade is pretty much a stronger and smaller version of a singlecap that can be concealed easily, and the effect of the explosion is larger than the maxcap.

What are your thoughts on this?

funny when it fails

Its being spammed too much that the nerf is inevitable though.

This is why chemistry can never keep good explosions

stupid and exploitative shit pred by a man who basically announced his intent to exploit it
should never have been merged, luckily its making itself very well known that it was a mistake

they happen sometimes, not gonna harp on maintainers or whatever, but ideally it gets reverted sometime soon now that it's REALLY gotten into the public eye

I don't blame temporal that much, he's done a lot of good work, just a nerd.

the rapid ear piercing series of explosions and the resulting crater in the station that come from these will never stop being hilarious

It's not even there due to temp, man did nothing wrong except expand on a semi-vague bug without properly declaring it. Happens when you code, play, and fall in love with a stupid mechanic that would make you sad if nuked. See: atmos bombs and potwater purge, difference being more people know about them and they aren't as abused (ok atmos bombs were abused but the most abusable ones were killed some time ago).

Suboptimal, but still understandable.

Screen shaking sucks and it should be removed. It's hard enough hitting sprites without ordanance causing everything to move in a random 3-tile direction for 60 seconds.

this. narrowly avoiding a nuclear explosion that decimated all of sybils arrivals just after thinking "what is all that fucking black smoke? that can't be good" was one of the one of a kind experiences you can only get while playing this game.
