Now that it is possible, maybe a prototype with incomplete piping as well... Players will be creative.

Server comeing back up.

someone decided that turning of my computer was a good idea.

Maybe they were just turning it towards the sunlight so that it could generate more solar power? :3

[Rift]

man is the whole hunger/thirst thing really annoying, it makes everything insanely slow [since there isnt anything to eat or drink..]

//well maybe the tiny amount of food in the bar helps the first person who gets it.. but its not like that will last.

[Jackrabbit]

Yeah, we need better access to food and water, this stuff is getting ridiculous.

[Googolplexed]

Well, if it seriously is that bad, I give you permission to admin-spawn as much as needed

[Jackrabbit]

That's a stop-gap solution, we need an either really large or unlimited (provided you actually work to obtain it) supply of food and water.

[Rift]

yea, maybe i should rephrase it to "this is really bad guys, this makes the game significantly less fun, and makes people unhappier in general with no silver lining or plus side at all, please remove the hunger/thirst 'feature' until a way of quenching an entire crews thirst/hunger for hours on end is avaliable."

edit: i'm not suggesting that it should not require some effort to keep a entire crew fed, however the possibliity of feeding the crew is kinda essential... since you go from not-hungry to starving in like 15 minutes.. Even if there was only one person on the station, he would starving before a hour is up... plus.. you know... water would be nice.

[Googolplexed]

Yeah, look, this is running off head's branch of the code, I don't have any control over it atm.
I know its that bad, but in theory its a good feature, and I think we will keep it, but the implementation atm is really really bad

First, it should not effect the player for atleast half-an-hour, and then it should just be an asthesic effect (Stomach growling)

There should be a few food/drink dispencers around the station(Head already has some of the code for that) .
Once thats sorted, it might just add a little bit of RP

[Grakelin]

What's this? The hunger/thirst system didn't work out because there's hardly anything to eat or drink?

I CALLED IT! THAT'S RIGHT, GRAKELIN CALLED IT! GOGOGO GRAKELIN GOGOGO!! WISH YOU'D LISTENED TO HIM NOW, DON'T YOU?!

Joking aside, if we're going to have a hunger/thirst system, we need to make sure we've added in a large amount of other 'living' facilities, which means actually adding to the station itself. What we need is some sort of kitchen/eatery (we have the bar, which I suppose we could convert). It might even help if there were some crew quarters with food and drink stored in them.

This also opens up a new way of dying, when the security officer guarding you in the brig buggers off and everybody forgets about you and you die.

Whose idea was it to have a hunger/thirst system anyway? Haven't you guys ever played any Warcraft III mods? It's never fun.

I still think if we're adding food and drink, we need to determine how fast time actually moves in SS13 world. If it's in real time, we don't need to be actively eating and drinking, since it is very unlikely any game will last long enough to starve our characters.

[Sukasa]

More work has been done on the wiki, filling in pages.  There're tons of pages left to fill in, so please, anyone who can please do consider adding some entries!

[x2yzh9]

I've an idea! A hydroponics area. Yeppers, and for water-Maybe implement peeing, and make bathrooms available around the station. This would simulate water recycling. Whenever someone pees, a bottle or 2 of space water gets added to a drink machine.

[qwertyuiopas]

Why not also expand pipes to carry liquids? Then you had better hope that an atmospherics technician doesn't wonder what "wastewater" means, or the vents will leak puddles(janitor-puddles, so that nothing new must be added?). Also, give such puddles a response to temperature, possibly including adding steam as a gas, so that the puddles evaporate into steam and leave behind flammable waste. That way, you could literally dispose of waste into the engine and let it burn. Some of the waste should burn off(and add to the firelevel), but the steam should reduce the firelevel, so it is a good idea to extract it. There could be water pipes, used infrequently, that connect from the engine to a storage tank, and from that tank to a few water fountains. Smaller jugs could be available from the supply shuttle, and used to top off the tank. Some water would be used to flush toilet-waste(giving a created waste ratio roughly equal to what is turned back into steam/water in the engine).

And all of that would make absolutely no difference as far as improving the game.

[beorn080]

Yeah, just more busy work. This seems rather foolish, IMHO.

[Ozyton]

Speaking of puddles, it would be nice if there were The Sims-styled puddles instead of turning the tile slightly more blue. That way it's easier to tell what area is wet or not, and just look nicer in general.

Then add more kinds of puddles... like vomit puddles.
