Wars over syringe guns and mops AKA missing techfab designs.

[Remuluson2]

How many times medbay turned first into a battle field and then into a burning hole in the station just because someone took a syringe gun? (Not that many but I assure you, it does happen).

Apparently designers from Nanotransen decided it's a great idea to remove design for a syringe gun completely from the database while it's perfectly fine to make a advanced version of it.

I don't believe that science department is so drunk they aren't capable of reverse engineering it but come on! Why it didn't happen already?

The same applies to mops.

Mops should probably be latheable but syringe guns should require weapon tech to make. Or just be orderable from cargo.

Excuse me, you can't just print out more mops. A mere autolathe could not even begin to understand the advanced science underpinning the mopping marvel you see before you. These super mops utilize GPS positioning to accurately and intelligently wipe away stains with surgical precision. They also incorporate the latest in synergistic machine learning to identify messes from stains to save you time and money. The smart hydration technology found in these sublime mopping units conserves water, minimizing time wasted on wringing, yet at the same time holds huge volumes of water. The ergonomically designed handle doubles as a self-defense tool, because it's a dangerous station out there and Nanotrasen has your back. Even the top of the mop was painstakingly crafted to be compatible with janicarts. Do you have any idea how difficult that was? People have lost there lives in pursuit of better mopping and yet you seem blissfully unaware of the sacrifices required. Frankly you should be thankful to even get these miracles of modern science at all, and now you want a lowly autolathe to print out more of them by claiming they are "just mops"? How dare you. I demand you apologize. Not to me, not to Nanotrasen, not even to the engineers and scientists who spent countless thankless hours developing the latest in mopping technology. No, you must apologize to the mop itself. Once you admit that this mop is a crowning achievement of humanity, truly the pinnacle of all that we are and ever will be, then you will be forgiven and allowed to gaze upon this mop, much less hold or even use one ever again. Repent, sinner.

On a serious note, it is odd that you can print a bucket but not a mop. Make sure this is on the issue tracker and/or nag someone to fix it and/or keep this bumped and/or fix it yourself if you want. It's a VERY easy fix.

[Gousaid67]

should it be an autolathe or protolathe design though?

[Tlaltecuhtli]

mops are 50% of not weapon crates bought in cargo (other half is bees), and mops can be easly made with 1 node requirement

[Gousaid67]

i still think maybe having a mop in the autolathe could help in situations where we dont have a janitor.

[Yakumo_Chen]

Just use soap

or space cleaner

[oranges]

is someone actually going to do this or are we just going to "soap"box about it

good 1 bro

I'm sure someone will mop it up eventually

Why is scarcity a bad thing again?

Why is scarcity a bad thing again?

Departmental Escalation.

It's why botany doesn't like it when there's scarcity on the mutagen.

Scarcity is why botany talks to chemistry about getting mutagen. It facilitates inter-character interaction and trust (or mistrust) at the exchange of a minute or so of each person's time. That's only a "bad" thing insofar as it means that neither is speedrunning their department's content. I wouldn't call that 'bad' on its own, quite frankly.

[Cobby]

if you complain about mutagen after wasting it on literally anything but mutating pumpkins you deserve space kudzu to take over your house.
