Hooray, since Vactor's post was the last of the page I'll repeat: server is back up.

More people? I've been interested in playing I just have no idea what I'm doing. I think I have BYOND somewhere lurking in my files.

Oh hey let's call the fucking shuttle for no reason at all. I don't care if you're a fucking traitor, you're not supposed to call the shuttle over nothing. If you're the traitor, surely you could release the singularity or do something else than just complete your objective and call it a day?

I spent a fucking long time to get all the materials to assemble a solar array, and it pisses me off that the shuttle is then called without any good reason. I wouldn't give any fucks about releasing the singularity or flooding the station with plasma (well, I would give fucks, but they'd be "awwww..." fucks)

People are generally completely willing to teach a new player the ropes in-game, so don't worry. Just ask in OOC if anyone needs any help, or play as an assistant and tell people you're new and would like to help. Sure, it might end up with you in the operating room hastily being taught how to remove and appendix, but you should do fine.

a) Tone down the butthurt gauge today.
b) Role of an antag is to accomplish the objective and force the shuttle. No matter how. Singularity/Plasma are just tools you can use. If you call the shuttle manually, it's either trivially easy to cancel by the next Head who stumbles into the Bridge or you need to take some real risks with planting C4 almost publically. Doing anything on Bridge is just a level below yelling about doing that on the main Comms channel.

And now, for something completely unrelated, I have finally learned how to do safecracking. Not the average Joe Secure Safes with a electronic lock for emagging, EMPing or what have you, the rotary combo lock in the Vault safe. I guess I could teach someone someday how to do that.

Yes, it does. It's a royal pain in the ass to open the safe with it though. Also, IIRC you can use it on people to MDify them.

We should really change the way toxins work. There is pretty much no way to clear the pipes, which is quite important when you need to mix something else, or if it bugs and refuses to flow. You're also limited to only one bomb test, as you have no way to reconstruct the bomb range. It's also really annoying that you can't refill your canisters, unless you manage to convince the atmos techs to refill them for you.

I guess the first problem could be fixed by allowing the portable scrubber to scrub the pipes (I tried connecting the scrubber, but it pretty much acted like a normal canister). You could also change the piping slightly to allow it to pump into space by turning a manual valve, and maybe adding an extra pump so you can do it without wasting your precious plasma. This only applies to the heating chamber piping of course, but putting a manual valve and a pump on the mixing thingy and connecting it to the aforementioned vent should allow the entire system to be cleared by turning a few valves. In fact, you could skip a lot of the tedium by connecting the mixing pipes directly to the heating chamber instead of dragging them one at a time to that input thingy. Although that would require re-piping the whole system. It makes a lot more sense if you used the old map.

I'm not sure what to do with the bomb range part. I guess you could give the toxins guy a space suit and some metal. Or maybe make the range reconstruct itself somehow.
[wild dreaming] You could also turn it into a complicated system which measures the explosive power of the bomb and recreates it in an observable environment with holograms or something. [/wild dreaming].

The last problem is easily fixable by connecting toxins storage to the atmos tanks, and allowing the canisters in storage to be connected directly to the atmos tanks. Or, you know, giving us atmos tanks of our own.

Having a five-canister mixing thingy would be nice as well.

Nah. No department should be independent. That would make it to powerfull.

\I believe a future update includes orderable canisters though.

Seb, engineers get bored quickly after round start. You could always ask me to hook your toxins up to the waste loop if you catch me as an atmos tech/engineer. Hell, I could even set up an intricate system of filters and mixers. Sadly, there's VERY little place for expirimentation in the atmos system, with the pipes running everywhere, so your best bet is really to make a new room somewhere out in space, which requires deconstruction of reinforced walls (which is just tedious), etc etc.

When I was designing atmos for the research statoin that never made it in, it was actually going to have a pipe from the plasma tank to the toxins lab for easily plasma refilling.

You know, I might try my hand at mapping to see if I can do something about toxins. What do you use to map the game, anyway?

The build in engine, I suppose.

There's a mapping project in creative though
