I.E - put [food\donkpocket_cold] in microwave, get [food\donkpocket_hot] back
This is more or less exactly the same way Ramen cups work.
Out of the vendors you get a cup with reagent [ramen], add water and a reagent_reaction turns the [ramen] into [hot_ramen]
IIRC theres no BS cooling system attached with that.
Of course the bottom line of the problem is that upgraded microwaves break the first law of alchemy

Would it really take a week to remove warm donk pockets and add 5 units of tricord to normal ones? i doubt it. But im no coder.paprika wrote:>fix 'bug' with something, taking up to a week of your time

it would take less than 2 minutes
make it like all the other recipes.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
It also doesn't help that "Because I am lazy" generally means that you shouldn't have responsibility, not that you should be allowed to get away with being lazy. I find the arguments about snowflake healing status to be much more persuasive, as well as the idea of just adding more medical supplies.
The fix is really minor though. If someone fixed it, would it be possible to add the tricord back? It wouldn't really hurt any game balance as it is a lot less efficient to make a ton of donk pockets than it is to make a lot of doctor's delight.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
DD is a huge pain in the ass to make most of the time (without harvesting syndiecakes), tricord takes a chemist (or knowing MD) about 3 seconds to make with two bottles and a beaker. Treating tricord like some sort of mystical elixir is really silly.dezzmont wrote:It also doesn't help that "Because I am lazy" generally means that you shouldn't have responsibility, not that you should be allowed to get away with being lazy.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
Even DD isn't that hard to get, you just need barkeep to part with the required bottles of juice, and between those and the infinite tricord you can make as a chemist in seconds, you can get literally 500 units of DD from 20 seconds of talking with barkeep.
Hell, as chemist, I am in the habit of pumping that out and making DD smoke grenades, putting it in the cryo tubes, AND having a huge pile of pills left over.
Letting miners have access to 5 tricord donk pockets is not the end of the world, and coders DELETING DP because of it is completely retarded. But that is the coderbus for you.

I was more talking about old DD which required only juices, which was removed because it was a better source of healing than doctors.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
Yea there are two kinds of Doctor Delight. The drink which is called "The Doctors Delight" and the chemical "Doctors Delight" which is found in some food and the CMOs Hypospray. I imagine you could combine the two along with tricord to make some kind of super fast healing pill, if all 3 healing effects stack.

make them like cold/hot ramen

don't bother with the cooling down thing, muh immersions are ruined less by unheatable donkpockets than they are by eternal warmth

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
It was as subtle as a hammer to the head.
Delete the offending inflamatory comments rather than threatening to censor another discussion because specific coders have figured out how to consistently get forum mods to lock threads for them by deliberately starting fights.
People contributing to a good discussion shouldn't be locked down because jerks are starting fights here.
I mean I agree the topic did not set a good tone but people, including coders, decided to treat this thread as an area for legitimate discussion. Threating to lock the thread isn't a subtle call to be on track, it makes people even more resentful and hostile because most of the insults flying are flying because people already feel locked out of the decision making process.

I actually have little to no communication with the coders, fun fact.
If we delete posts, we're censoring. If we lock a thread, we're censoring. Everyone needs to just learn to control themselves.
Enough with this coderbus conspiracy crap already.

I am all for trying to limit historonis. Please actually do that, and lock down the people who repeatedly do them, without locking down a discussion unrelated to these, for lack of a better word, tantrums. Consistently locking threads does not make the underlying problem go away, it makes it worse.

You know, wouldn't be that hard to leave donk pockets unnukable, but have tricord in them by default. Here, have some code.
I ain't even a coder, took me longer to find donk pockets in the code than it did to do this. Problem fixed, no more duping reagents, mining has easy healing. Everyone's happy.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
One has to ask, regarding the donk pockets
If it was so easy to change, why did we have to go through all the drama in the first place of having them removed and then re-added instead of just changing them in the first place
I believe someone did say it was easier to outright remove them than make the necessary balancing change, but, clearly, that was wrong?

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
Right, but more to the point, deleting something blatantly inflammatory is censoring pretty worthless and distracting information, where as locking the entire thread is censoring absolutely everyone because individuals could not handle the forum rules. It is pretty clear which is superior if you had to do any. While it does involve deleting a lot more the result is a lot more precise and is much better at keeping people on topic and mellow and a lot less of value is lost or suppressed.miggles wrote:yeah that is pretty much exactly what youre doing like, textbook definition of censoringJeb wrote:If we delete posts, we're censoring.

The rule of thumb I've decided to start following recently is to lock the thread if the OP is the one acting up and just delete the posts if it's anyone else.
I code for the code project and moderate the code sections of the forums.
