Options for Minerals
Currently I am busy adding in more uses for all minerals. A PR for basic mineral flooring is up so far, and I am busy with mineral statues. Though I would appreciate it if you guys post more ideas for minerals in this thread.
1. Mineral Floors(PR is up, it is basic so far)
2. Mineral Statues(WIP)
3. Mineral Rods(Still to do)
4. Mineral Tables(Still to do)

Re: Options for Minerals
You want miners? Scientists? We'll we got ideas!
1 mineral Rods everyone with their own special abilities
Diamond Reflects laser
Plasma when getting hot burns
Uranium radiates the shit of everything
And etc
2 Mineral tables
Cuz metal creation got metal tables
So why not sandstone creation with sandstone tables
And etc
3 mineral bucket
Cuz plastic isn't the only thing that can hold water
4 uranium reactor
Like in dah real world
Provides electricy
Here are muh ideas

Re: Options for Minerals
Uranium rods should be used as fuel for that reactor. Make sure to bring a bucket of water to it every 10 minutes or you can say goodbye to the station!

Ever wonder why Syndicate never bothered conquering Mining? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined miners and their katanas of destruction.

Pacmen (super?) and mechs can run off uranium sheets already, actually not sure if the mech reactor got removed though it produced a lot of rads including for the driver.

Re: Options for Minerals
Mineral tools that take less time to do the job. If you have a full set of diamond tools, you can decon a r-wall in seconds! If you have a diamond saw/scalpel, you do surgery faster, AND with an increased chance of success that comes into play when you're operating on a table in maint using a bedsheet instead of surgical sheets!
Non-depleted uranium boolits! Irradiate AND do more damage!
Uranium borg exoskeleton! Prevent human harm while irradiating everyone!
Diamond-reinforced wall! Like a plasteel-reinforced wall, but more reinforced!
Diamond windoor! Think blast doors, but transparent!
Diamond pipes! Can't be blown up!

Re: Options for Minerals
I got some new ones
1.mineral turrets like
Diamonds improve the defence a lot
Uranium radiates the shit out of you but slows shooting speed
And etc
2.mineral weapons upgrades
Those improves ammo hold
With diamond being the hights
3.mineral crates
Diamond can't be pulsed
Uranium speaks for itself but can be pulsed easily
Plasma when pulsed or lasered it goes into flames
4.mineral airlock assembly
Why having a stupid door
If you can make shiny airlocks with locks
5.mineral swords
Blades that can be made by using minerals
And can be combined with different minerals
And also can be broken by using it to much
Every mineral should have a different break chance
Like Plasteel hilt diamond blade very sturdy and sharp

Re: Options for Minerals
I made a separate thread for my suggestion: http://www.tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewto ... f=9&t=1326
Essentially we should be able use gold to make a chair, but instead of a regular chair it's The Golden Throne and when someone sits on it they die, cannot be removed from it, and teleportation mishaps no longer occur. Second Golden Thrones don't do this and the person becomes valid for being a filthy heretic.

Re: Options for Minerals
I like the Tables, Statues and ID ideas. But can we not go making 100 different objects with silly abilities?
Also make too much interesting stuff and it could negatively effect actual jobs that require those minerals. Like R&D. Science would never see a diamond again if every head stole them to make diamond IDs.

Re: Options for Minerals
Science needs at most 10 of every material to get shit done. I say make mining easier, make minerals more useful for other purposes, and just let everything trickle down to where it needs to be. The fact that there will never be a case of 'too much minerals' no matter how well mining does is sad. I wanna see rounds where mining hits the jackpot and assistants are running around making diamond dance floors. At least it'll give people something to do besides reside in the tide.

For the record, a Gygax alone takes about 10 diamonds to make, assuming your stuff's upgraded. A Durand can eat up 30 or more silver/uranium.

That's not something to pin purely on robotics. Most departments that create something use it themselves instead of handing it out to whoever else. Any branch of science, cargo, botany, etc.Scott wrote:I'd feel sorry for robotics if they actually handed over the military mechs to security.

Re: Options for Minerals
It would be nifty if some departments had a means to send toys to security through a special chute and automatically get SecHUD-tagged as PATRIOTIC CITIZENS or something. People would definitely use it to send bombs or reroute the tubes to steal the goodies, though I don't know whether those are points for or against the idea.

Re: Options for Minerals
Minerals are currently only consumed by scientists making things they have an immediate desire for. If scientists have more reason to make things for other departments, then demand for minerals is increased, which is the implicit goal of this thread. Before more toys are added, it should be determined why the current toys aren't being used.MisterPerson wrote:What does any of this have to do with minerals?

Re: Options for Minerals
On the topic of mining, I would REALLY like to see the ore vendor in the same room as the point redemption machines. Weather that means moving the ore smelter back to mining, or moving/adding the redemption machines into cargo, it would be nice to not need a shuttle ride to get stims/jetpack.

Re: Options for Minerals
You send it in though a shute by pull clicking it into the entrance (not a bin) but you cannot mail wrap it and tag it. So if you cut their disposals bin off from the network and put a shute (made by atmos, found in mail room and mining) on the other end you can basically do that as a deadly twist on the "HAHA LET'S POP UP INSIDE HOP OFFICE!" disposals trick.Cipher3 wrote:True, but now I wonder if I can mail a full scale syndi-bomb.

Chemistry needs maybe one or two sheets of plasma and one or two other extraneous substances.
I've never been bartender, so I can't speak for that, but the most I've had a bartender talk about minerals in game was to see one come and ask me for iron as a chemist once.
Virology needs plasma, I guess. Though Xenobiology needs plasma as well.

Re: Options for Minerals
The ore redeemer stuffed up the distribution chain we don't quite need MORE ore but we can easily get large demand for plas steel which it can't even make and the shift to it stopped the use of ore tubes and miners pooling their ore into collective loads to be transported by ONE MINER allowing the others to keep mining. You can still mail loads to anyone who might need it but miners seem to see their smaller individual loads and just decide to haul them to science alone and are less inclined to share.
Being located on the station instead on in place of the original smelter, which we still have even though it only has one unique product, was just another phase in ergo's comprehensive redundant hatred of the miner.
I do miss several exotic mineral flavour constructs and I do wish they were made cheaper resource wise.
