Doubleposting for how do you make a plasmeme safe room? Panic syphon out all the gas and open a plasma can inside? Set the scrubbers to scrub everything but plasma?

I actually did this, i'll post a picture when I get back on my main computer

I built a room in space and then flooded plasma.

Use your all access to order a load of taser and armor crates from cargo, use that all access again to take over robotics and build an army of ED209s.

i've taken multiple hacks at this and never quite finished but from what i gathered:
- panic syphoning works but is really slow unless you have a LOT of scrubbers, and since as far as i can tell you cant set them to not scrub plasma when on panic it's not very efficient
- building a room over space is a good idea since it will have no air guaranteed
- either make a double airlock area to secure the atmosphere, or make a short disposals pipe route that goes in and out
- best way to pump in plasma is to get a canister connected to a port set to 101.3 and leave it open, more consistent than a vent as far as i can tell

so as you probably haven't noticed i've been gone for a while, and i've been thinking of coming back recently. is HG still a massive cunt? are people still (successfully) advocating for AI removal? what all has gone down/changed in the past half year or so?

I'll answer this without being scott.
People WERE advocating for AI removal, then we tested it and people didn't like it. HG isn't really that big of a deal anymore, he does his job and that's it, really.
We have lavaland! New monsters, ashwalker fights, tribal bases, and beach bums.
We have dismemberment! Actually, that explains itself.
We have Peacekeepers. I mean, if this is good or not is up to you, it's kinda controversial but it's a new borg woo :honk:
And soon...
We'll have you. Our community doesn't grow unless we get new people or old people rejoining and generally everything inbetween. I'd argue my favorite part about this game is everyone in it.
I really recommend coming back, this game has gone places, and while some say this game is going downhill... They might be right but for now enjoy the ride :honkman:

New: Lavaland, which is fucking deadly but can get you some serious loot. Mining gets to go there by default, and there's usually a handful of ghost spawners.
Also, dismemeberment.
Buncha new cybernetic shit.
Malf AIs - wait, was that more than half a year ago? - no longer exist, but traitor ones get malf powers and earn cycles by hacking APCs.
Peacekeeper borgs are basically secborgs except without stuns or range. They exist to meme on everyone equally, and I find them hella fun.

Is there any specific variable to edit on the Mass Driver to reduce the distance of the launch, or is it hardcoded that it's infinite and only stops when you hit something? I wanted to make a cannon to launch mechs into spess using the mass driver, but looks like there's no variable that changes the distance. I can just make a block on the middle with some catwalks instead but I'm curious if this can be done. I also wanted to make a computer that modifies that variable to the number that you selected but I have no idea how to do that lol (or if it can even be done)

The derelict one has a speed variable, but in space an object that is moving will not stop unless acted on by an outside force.

Theres like 3 vars that control how hard it launches, but only one of these really matters for space.

If you're launching across actual floors, like inside a hallway then yeah you can use drive_range to tell how many tiles it will shoot. Default is 50 I think? Setting this to like 5 or so should get you into space past lattices and shit, then stop you on the first tile with "gravity" on it.

Yeah, I'll try that out. It's also because you can't really use the mech "thrusters" to slow down the launch or some shit, you just get consistently launched until you hit something which is pretty euch. I guess the lack of an acceleration system in ss13 kinda hurts this idea in general (i think it doesnt have one, right?)
EDIT: Also I'm launching from the disposals (because mass driver was already programmed there *shrug*), so it's straight into space

Yes, it is, and it actually is a valid (heh) strategy for engiborgs slaved to traitor AI, engineering when they want to add LOTS of power to the powernet (maybe admins somehow drained all APCs), or as a way of forcibly removing power sinks - though it does cause them to explode, nothing detonates them like wiring singuloth directly into the powernet.

Grab T-ray scanner/Engi goggles, look for yellow (incoming power) and red (outgoing power) cable anywhere in engineering, connect the two.

No. Airborne viruses just have a chance to spread to anyone within three tiles of other infected individuals- they do not travel through the atmos system.

What if we gave atmos a configurable sprinkler system that can with a little effort be used to spray a short burst of chems in specific areas. Start it as water for dousing fires, but can be loaded with healing chems, mutagen, infected blood. Maybe have it blare a few seconds before firing so it is not a gg death Chem shower.

Chem nades are nades you make in chem.

Bluespace beakers are a science tech that requires a lot of rare shit (diamonds at least, don't know about other requirements) but hold 300 units each.

Imagine 600 units of nitroglycerine going off in one spot and you know what they can do.

How do you fill up chemical implants? The implant pad says you use a syringe on it while it's in the original casing, but the implant specifically says you can't use it on it while it's in its case when you try to use a syringe on it. I prayed, and an admin told me it was really complicated and they didn't know either. So after around an hour trying to use my ID to swipe literally everything, trying to break it open, trying to do everything to this implant, I had to give up.
