Research data for examined items [PR]
PR: https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/pull/12217
What it does:
Research scanning allows anyone wearing an enabled device (Science Goggles, RD Hardsuit Helm, perhaps some others such as a pAI) to see additional data on an item by examining it.
Upon examine, users would see the origin techs of an item, its reliability rating, and if the item has critically failed. Adding to this system, certain items may be given fluff text which further explains what an item is or does, or even its current state.
For machines, examining them may reveal what components they have, to tell if an item may need an upgrade. Additional fluff text can be added here, as well.
It is mostly for easy judging of the reliability and worth of an item to Science, or the in the case of power cells, know if they have broken down and would fail to charge. (This happens with cells which have been hit with EMP or built from the protolathe.)

d20 station has this on science goggles they give tech levels realiability and intregrity might want to ask them about there code.

I also want to add a little about mineral composition. I.E. what you would get if you salvaged it. Nothing in the game currently tells you that that, and no one bothers trying because of it.

recycle values depend on the upgrade level of the recycler

on the arrival shuttle, I saw the iconic toolbox on the ground. I clubbed myself in the head with it trying to figure out the controls.
Setting the tool box, now bloodied, back on the table; I went to heal myself with a medkit. I clubbed myself in the head with that too.
I've come a long ways from asking how to switch hands.

Didn't reliability get removed? Otherwise A+

Reliability is still a thing. Responses to this idea have been positive or neutral, so I think I am going to start work on it!

They're a simpsons reference, aren't they? Radioactive man gets put into a river of radioactive goop and yells "My eyes!

Could it also be added to the science goggles/RD hardsuit the ability to exam slime cores to see what injections do what reactions? Just a thought.

Literally the only reason science goggles exist is because Lasty asked me to add purple eyewear of some sort.Cheimon wrote:They're a simpsons reference, aren't they?

And yes, they used to have a description of "nothing" because I gave them to chemists and eyewear didnt block acid at the time.

Re: Research data for examined items [PR]
Is it? I dunno, I never really used the scanner except on alive slimes to check which one had the highest mutation chance. I'll check when I get home this afternoon, and if it does then disregard that.Gun Hog wrote:Is that not handled by the slime scanner?Aliannera wrote:Could it also be added to the science goggles/RD hardsuit the ability to exam slime cores to see what injections do what reactions?
