Put the whole station on lavaland
PvE content gives the crew a reason to actually do more than just wait all antsy for a valid kill to appear
Miners have more or less same role to explore outside station
Sec also has to defend station from mobs that wander too close
Engineering sets up/maintains defences in addition to normal duties
Science can make new weapons/defences/etc. for sec/engineering/miners
Geothermal engine or something with lava idk
Arrivals being an off-station dropship or something so crew has to actually make a trek back would be neat, have an officer patrol the path their or something in case people get in trouble along the way.
An additional idea on top of this was not allowing round-end evacuation without completing certain objectives/powering up gateway somehow to prevent shuttle calls because a goliath knocked out some windows
Teleporter can be used to go to a space satellite for space stuff or something
Kor had a bunch of ideas on this maybe he will post some more of them

Re: Put the whole station on lavaland
Obviously it's a big departure from the norm, which means a lot of work to implement. I do like the idea of bringing lavaland to the station instead of the station to lavaland.
I code for the code project and moderate the code sections of the forums.

Re: Put the whole station on lavaland
I've been working on a lavastation map on and off for awhile but its nowhere near done. The big issue I ran into is whether everything is connected, or if people need to walk through a walled off compound to reach another department.

Re: Put the whole station on lavaland
Really the biggest issue is dealing with how do you do mining? Do we just set it up that mining gets taken on a shuttle to the most DANGEROUS but LUCRATIVE place on the planet? Or do we allow miners to lead megafauna back to the station? Also how clean would a z-level move by megafauna even be?

Re: Put the whole station on lavaland
I was actually going to use on-step teleporters and create little tunnel entrance in the west side of the station z level and create a little cavern that it leads to on the east side of mining z level. Though if anyone gives me a better idea tell me. (Someone with more time and interest than me is also more than welcome to work on this.)

Re: Put the whole station on lavaland
Why not make it north of the station? The mining station is on the southside of lavaland after all and the whole shtick of mining is going from south west to north and northeast. Also the necropolis door is on the north side of the map so it fits better.Owegno wrote:I was actually going to use on-step teleporters and create little tunnel entrance in the west side of the station z level and create a little cavern that it leads to on the east side of mining z level.

Still should probably have a small mining outpost

Re: Put the whole station on lavaland
Reason I had it on the west side is because miners still use their shuttle (probably should of put it in that post, oops) and I wanted the alternative route to be just that.

Re: Put the whole station on lavaland
There's already been decent progress at making space a non-mining alternative for exploration. It's really not hard to just keep adding space ruins that achieve a similar purpose rather than doing something as absurd and ill-advised as taking SS13 out of space.
Maybe add more ruins with interesting items that are capable of being explored by a moderately geared crewmember, hostile NPC's need to be more middle-ground. It seems like space either has no/weak NPC's or it throws a bunch of gun-wielding killers at you. Most of the mining ruins are perfectly capable of being in space with a few modest tweaks. I wouldn't do that for theming reasons but just to show that it's really not hard to come up with decent ideas for space ruins.

Re: Put the whole station on lavaland
The entire idea is that having be station in an actively hostile environment will give people more to do on the station to prevent rounds from stagnating so quickly.
Adding more space content is the wrong way to go because it just encourages people to fuck off and leave the station and ignore whatever is actually going on in the round.

Exploring space is incredibly boring because it is an empty and non threatening gear check with no reliable way to move around so you kind of just drift randomly hoping you bump into a point of interest.

Re: Put the whole station on lavaland
The original idea was that as the round progresses more and more tendrils appear around the station and thus the crew will need to deal with the fauna.
It'd give sec something to do beyond valid hunt, engineers would have more stuff to fix, maybe atmos needing to regulate station temperature? Science developing new defences, maybe defence systems you can set up outside to help keep monsters away.
Engineers could build fortifications and stuff, FOBs, etc.
Hand some assistants a pickaxe and a shard spear and conscript em to go thin out the local wildlife etc.

I understand the purpose, I am mostly pointing out one of the possible consequences of the proposed idea.
