So you can fill three canisters while also draining three canisters?

I'd like to throw it out there that New Atmosia is way easier to understand than Current Atmosia.

Because Electronics is awesome. New Engineering is also a lot more efficient.
Er... in some ways. In others... well, for example, both power monitoring computers are useless. It's only going to monitor input/output over the line underneath it, so both cables leading out from the SMES to the rest of the station aren't monitored at all, and the monitor in the CE's office does nothing.

CE's monitor can just be replaced with an atmospherics monitor, like it has in /tg/ (unless we're introducing a Chief Atmosphericist, he needs one anyway). The main monitor is a little trickier. All output should pass under the monitor to the rest of the station. The only exceptions in tg station are parts of the engine itself (collectors, PA, and I think the emitters). Unfortunately, positioned as it is, doing this is not going to look pretty.


Atmospherics looks good, except of course that the air tank refilling station on the port side needs an oxygen canister to refill from. And a sliding glass door.


Now, as to telecomms and AI... Any preferences as to how these two are positioned? I know you said across the hall from Engineering for telecomms, but on the diagram that's also where the AI is supposed to be. Does the AI need to be surrounded by space?

It would be nice if the robocop board was introduced in the AI upload, because it seems to be a board that actually has a legitimate reason to exist in-universe. (It's currently spawn-only, so it should probably also be introduced into circuit imprinters)

Does the AI need to be surrounded by space?
It's a useful barrier to help prevent break-ins. The current AI room requires you to either have access, hack/emag a visible door, thermite/C4 a visible wall, or have a space suit and break in somewhere slightly less secure. If you could get at the AI upload by going through walls away from the main corridors it would be much easier to steal the AI/upload new laws.

Welp. Doesn't look like I'll be doing telecomms after all. Still interested to see the finished product.

Ah, that's a shame. I appreciate your interest though.

Well, for the most part.



I've been pretty inactive for a free days. My internet has been having issues, and I haven't had a chance to post any updates. Also, BYOND crashed and my map file became corrupted, so I lost a fair amount of work. I'm going to power through some stuff right now, then post some screenshots later tonight. Basically, I've finished command, fixed up engineering and atmos a tad, added some piping and wires to some areas. There were some issues with engineering which I fixed, added some new sprites for the pool area and added ashtrays, in which you can butt out cigarettes. There was some other super minor stuff, but I can't think of it off the top of my head. Once I clean up the captain's office, and finish the teleporter, I'll be working on the recreation area.

Again, anyone who wants to help is welcome. For those who hate git, just make your changes then upload the map file somewhere and I can incorporate the changes.

Alright, so I finally got to this~

Halfway through mapping something decent though, I discovered transit tubes. The wonders of transit tubes and their utter glory.

e: transit tubes too dense, resorting to traditional disposal unit setup

hey, think some of the more painful things on the 'stroid get fixed? like some of the problems with the ore pipes. mainly the west outpost. like the conveyor system on it. and the fact that unloading a crate means you have to go in to retrieve it.

band-aid fix deployed

i'm totally not redesigning the whole west outpost as would be needed for this to be decent without at least a word of consent from the other mappers
