/tg/Station 13

So after playing science for a couple of months i saw players constantly go to my departament and ask me for printable things.

Wouldn't it be great if we just were able to print these things for them?

Is this the mandatory weekly "remove techwebs" thread
You can uhhhhhh ask other department heads for their spare boards or just get the omni board from spess and maybe lavaland you know

>You can uhhhhhh ask other department heads for their spare boards

Its nice to have 6 machines with different minerals in them in a huge confusing fuckfest

I would also like to have the Omnilathe back. That is not a request to "remove techwebs", but the "departmental protolathes" portion that was shoved into the techwebs PR at the final stages. It is that part that steals a significant amount of interest from R&D. The Techweb update itself is tolerable.

Now, since everyone seems to hate Scientists having access to guns, could we at least have a "multi-lathe" that prints everything *except* security restricted items?

No pins anyway, let them print the guns there to avoid people having to split the mats more

i think this idea would make the game boring, to be honest

part of the problem seems to be other lathes not getting resources

which this PR is going to fix: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/37901

> if I continue playing RND like a job maybe someone will give me all the goodies again.

Please don't do this to yourself.

Wow yeah it's almost like that's the point or something

before the departmental lathes split, every time a new item was added to the game, pretty much the only job with a progression mechanic to add it to was R&D. this meant scientists as a job kept getting more and more powerful every single time something new was added, and having one job so absurdly powerful compared to every other job meant it was getting harder and harder to justify adding new stuff. half the point of the departmental lathes split was to fix this issue. going back on it by just handing them an omnilathe again would be stupid

I mean on the scales of dumb shit each job can get R&D is pretty meh tier compared to kudzu, viruses, genetics, cargo and the singu.

Don't forget xenobio, toxins, pre-nerf circuitry, and robotics

R&D IS NOT A JOB

also lol prior to the boh change they literally could make mobile singulos and do genetics

Both of those are inferior to the proper jobs versions, who can do them better, faster, and without requiring mining to do their fucking job.

I've finished genetics @ rnd (pretech) faster than actual genetics with T3 parts.

Has the omnilathe been removed from the Golem ship yet?

No, why would it be? It's not like it's the only one left or there's a reason to remove it. It's actually one of the harder ways for the station to get one.

Russian station (easy), derelict (hard), delta white ship (even easier but only works if the map is delta)

it was the best science update and i was so glad to see it when i came back

donut do this
