Basically, the components of a protobomb is the same as any normal bomb, the only difference is that the plasma is heated well beyond the 500 degree limit of the plasma heaters in toxins.

To make any bomb, you get an igniter, a signaling device*, and a small tank of (heated) plasma, and a screwdriver and welder to construct it.  You use the screwdriver on the igniter and signaling device, put them together, use the screwdriver on the resulting component, put that on the tank of plasma, and use the welder (after turning it on, of course) on the bomb.  There are guides that explain it better, but those are the basics.

* A Remote Signaling Radio, a Timer, or A Proximity Device.  Timers are the most common, and if you're actually considering a protobomb, there's no reason to use anything else.

Heating the plasma, specifically to levels capable of ruining the game for everyone, is accomplished from taking plasma from an engine.  That's done by hooking an empty large plasma tank to an inlet, draining some  plasma from the engine, and then hooking up an empty small plasma tank to the large tank and filling it with the superhot plasma.  Now, main-engine plasma can get hot enough to destroy much of the station itself, but the protobomb, one capable of knocking out the server, is largely possible only with the prototype engine and the sheer amount of heat that's generated when several tanks of burning plasma occupy only three squares.  It takes a lot of setup to get it running, and if you aren't allowed to get the prototype engine up you're screwed (or at least hindered), but if you've got access to engineering, you've got all the tools to make one.

Seems good enough for me!
Now... Anyone wants to /i/nvade?

[Micro102]

hmmmm but how do you get all that plasma into the prototype? first off you need power to it, so you cant use the engines power source plasma....then if you somehow manage to drag all other plasma in the station to the proto after its been started up you will need a fire suit so you dont die from the heat the thing gives off.

unless the proto has plasma already in it?

also the engines vents can be sealed off making a 3x3 square with readily accessable plasma and oxygen tanks with no threat of suffocating from heat and enough to rip the station limb from limb.

I just remembered something very important: Johbson, did you upload your banlist with the files? Cause when we played on Qwerty's server, some guy we had already banned popped in. If you didnt include that file with the normal server download, could you give it to Floirt so that he includes it from now on please?

As for hosting: Since Qwerty can't host anymore, and Johbson is really annoyed about hosting and I dont feel like pushing his generosity too far, who's gona host it from now on?

[andrea]

i would, but we would all lag.

[IndonesiaWarMinister]

Country?

Perhaps I'll get no lag... If you are from Australia or Asia. Or ME.
or AFrica.

[Floirt]

Hey, thanks for the airlocks, Qwerty. Also, I have a nice feature here about crashing servers. 

Hmmm. I wonder if I can make buildable pipes via autolathe, ala Goonstation. It seems useful.

[Poltifar]

Floirt, please fix the bug I mentioned before BEFORE adding new stuff. (The bug about the HoR not needing to be dead for Revolutionaries to win)

[Floirt]

Well, it seems impossible for that to happen, currently. Are you sure you were HoR from the start?

EDIT: Unless someone changed the code so it's, like, the HoS that needs to be dead.

country = italy.

sicily, the big island in the south

What? Oh, I'll host, I've always hated it, from day two.  But I don't care, I hate all the other servers, afterall.

About the server files, Floirt uploads files that use an old banlist, so thats why people we banned come up, they don't have the files I have. Anyway, I'll just change the server name and stuff. I'll be hosting in about 10 minutes.  We still need them to change the MoTD however. Just stop uploading those three MoTD files, Floirt, and we should be good for future releases.

I was the HoR from the start for the two times that happened. So either its a bug, or someone changed the code. If its the code that has changed, can you either revert the code or change all the messages that are involved? (The Revo's goals, the ending message, all those state that the HoR must be killed/died, and should be changed to HoS or whatever)

[Dr. Johbson]

Server is up!

[Dr. Johbson]

Erm. Why is there NO TOXINS AT ALL?

EDIT- Probably installed it backwards. Going to change it now.

DOUBLEEDIT- Nope, Floirt removed toxins.. Ok, glad I keep a backup.

[Floirt]

Yeaaaaah. I uploaded it so mappers and coders could mess around with it.
