Firebot+Airbot

[Helios]

How about we add 2 new bot types.
Fire bots made out of fire extinguishers+ stuff that try to put out fires.
Air bots made out of oxygen tanks+stuff that replace air that is lost.
When emagged they do the opposite, start fires and suck air respectively.

I had given firebots some thought. Atmos bots too, but I did not want to touch atmos. Firebots would be neat, but probably not well used, except if they are stationed somewhere with a high fire risk (Toxins, Engineering, Chemistry)

Fire too fast now give up interacting with msos baby fastmos.

[JackHunt]

Fire is fast because burn mix needs more oxygen than ambient air has. This actually would make emaged airbots that spew excess O2 or plasma fun and lethal. I'd certainly like to see firebots in Toxins and Chem. Accidental fires are no fun. What would an emagged firebot do?

On a related note, changing the plasma/oxygen ratio is a pretty easy change, if you'd like, go make a thread for it.

I always strip atmos at roundstart as an atmos tech to plumb the O2/N2O mixer into the feed (usually on an 80/20 mix, ostensibly to help people breathe in a low-pressure environement)

what if instead we just made an arsonbot that you build with a flamethrower
it walks around setting people on fire

make that what happens if you emag an extinguisherbot

But emagging doesn't normally give it new tools, it just corrupts them.

Take the medbot. It doesn't run around stabbing people: it injects them with bad chemicals instead. The floorbot doesn't put down floors, it lifts them up. The cleanbot doesn't clean with space cleaner, it lubricates.

By this logic, the extinguisher bot wouldn't spray water, it'd spray something slippery or cold or whatever. The gas bot wouldn't give out oxygen, it would flood plasma, that sort of thing.

no no no the arsonbot exists solely to ignite people
if you emagged it it would run around shaking people up from stuns

Okay. Welder fuel then.
