Sprinkler system

Exactly what it says, a bunch of sprinklers that can be set up to spray water continuously at an area. (Like a regular spray bottle, moving at an angle every few ticks. Like normal sprinklers.) Can be wrenched to be moved, and can be attached to an adjacent water tank to continuously draw from it (this part will require coding but shouldn't be too hard considering hydro trays basically do this). Can be screwed open to add reagents other than water, for whatever reason.

Uses:

- Botanist has to go AFK? Or is just lazy? Plants won't die! Add a mix of fertilizer and water and those fuckers will live forever (or until their health or the sprinkler system runs out)
- Janitor who doesn't want to deal with repeatedly cleaning the same area? Set up a space-cleaner sprinkler system outside medbay or wherever.
- Traitor? Fill that bitch with lube, set up outside escape, hack open the doors. Alternatively, fill that bitch with polyacid, place in well-trafficked location. (Maybe if you emag it the water will be scalding/freezing?)
- Sociopath? Fill it with blood.
- Clown? HONK!

How is Byond going to handle this? Also it is a bit too easy to open.
Other than that I'm all for this. This sounds amazing.

Well doing the spray puffs is easy. Picking where shoot them is easy. Putting chemicals in them is easy. All around this is pretty simple. And cool.

Now do we want this on the map or makable by R&D?

Either have one in hydroponics storage somewhere or have it be makable by R&D, depending.

Major fire zones, such as Toxins, Engineering, and Chemistry. The station actually having a fire suppression system in high risk fire zones makes sense. A bot that could patrol around and squirt at hotspots seems good as well!

I could see problems with the whole polyacid idea though... Namely that nothing could shut it off after it's turned on. Polyacid has a tendency to fuck over every damn thing.

Wait until the polyacid's all used up, or cut power?

Bypassing a hazard is usually more complicated than "run"

Polyacid and then space lube the area leading up to the polyacid spray.
