Having played on Bay during the inciting incidents, here's the basic rundown of what happened and why the admins are considering one final jettison of the SM. Note that the events are not really specific to Bay or how it's run. I just saw this take it's course on Bay.


Precursor: The kinds of people who regularly do engineering are the sorts who like math and efficiency, but not necessarily sanity.

Step 1: One of these people discovered that they could cool the SM with PHORON. 'Safely'. For some definition.
Step 2: One of them discovered that there was a non-zero benefit to doing this.
Step 3: MADNESS
Step 4: The engineering department on their station can basically no longer agree on how to setup the engine, to the point that they will actively fight each other over the correct setup, refuse to help new engineers figure this crap out, and generally be dicks when it comes to the SM. It's making engineering highly toxic, and the admins are done with it.

Why the fix isn't 'make phoron blow up the engine', I can't tell.

Well if that's the problem might as well just purge the entire SS13 playerbase.

Tesla engine when?

i played on bay, and my hate is not unjustified

the playerbase is NO FUN ALLOWED folk

but i'll drop it as requested

>solving administration problems by removing features instead of banning shitlers

ayy lmao

[miauw62]

Things being buggy is a very dumb reason to remove them though.

Tesla engine when?

...

Hmm. That's an idea. Also, Jacob, what the fuck is the RUST engine?

also pls no singularity
no more lazy tators
pls

See here. Apparently it was never quite functional in a few regards.

What tesla engine?
The one that didn't even have a dmi released, much less code? :V
I don't think carn is about to get back to it any time soon, especially since she just did the subsystems rewrite, is cleaning up the bugs and already in a minor row with the rest of the coders over coding standards.

So yeah. RIP tesla engine.

Do you mean these sprites?

kept you waiting huh

included in coil dmi is two sprites of the tesla coil, one normal and one hit by lightning because it looks cool. If can include that in your code cool if not oh well

lightning dmi has three variations of a 64x32 sprite, I'm still not sure how you were going to implement your lightning but anyway, these sprites are lined up so they align at both ends. The variation is there so it doesn't look too copy paste

particle_accelerator is a completely reskinned PA

sing.dmi is the anomaly. There only is one, a 3x3. It is animated, don't worry.

It's...

Beautiful.

[rabidgam3r]

If I ever set that up, I'll have to resist the urge to yell "Ride the lightning!"

[KingofstarrySkies]

THUNDERSTRUCK!

-after you throw Urist McTraitor into the lightning

[IcyTea31]

"Hey, could you help me conduct a little experiment? If successful, the results could be shocking!"

- Before you throw Urist McTraitor into the lightning.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Now that is one electrifying kill.
