Spessmen power generation

[WarbossLincoln]

This struck me as a silly idea while reading the planet station thread talking about power generation.

Engineering needs to have a row of gerbil wheels wired into the station. A spaceman can get into it and run to generate power. To be used in emergencies or to jump start the engine.

Could put a couple in the brig too, instead of gulag time they could be forced to generate a certain amount of power.

during a power outage you could put one in genetics and wire it to the APC so a couple autists can power the cloner.

i think remie had a PR that added bikes you could pedal to generate power in the gym a while back but it never got finished

Sounds pretty neat and easy to implement

Make it burn food energy so you get hungry the more you ride to prevent people from just loading them with braindeads and monkeymen.

people always get this wrong.
It WAS finished, had a little minigame (well, if you can call it that) where you had to alternate moving left/right to pedal it.
The issue was nobody would make me a sprite, literally nobody, and I wasn't happy with it just going in looking identical to the pacman gens (which was the sprite it had to use at the time)

I had this idea a long time ago. Someone make remie a fucking sprite.
