Spacemanspark Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 To make the gulag more protective and secure, especially when security is depositing criminals there, a decent idea would be to port over safety pickaxes from /tg/code. They do very little damage (It took me quite a few hits to even kill a mouse with one.).

Qinetix Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 They are probably going to depresurize it anyways to get out alive. Besides they still need a weapon to gank on the security team to get out, they take their PDA away anyways so traitors can't get their items if they happen to have any telecrystals left. I never understood why they take the PDA away from the prisoner.

Bone White Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I personally leave pdas on prisoners not in perma, to give them the opportunity to escape should they not have used all their telecrystals already. People in perma can do laundry until their hands bleed.

FarmWizard Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Don't mining drills do virtually null damage and don't miners start with them now anyways?

Fj45 Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 The prison outpost really need an overhaul. Make it like a larger perma and give plenty to do. (Cook, botany, other assorted things. If any of the admins want me to I could map it out.

FarmWizard Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I'd suggest the whole thing just be walled in, and doesn't it already have a botany area or am I thinking of another map?

MarkvA Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Yea, as it stands right now the Gulag's pretty useless. If you keep digging east eventually you'll hit the asteroid (and die, of course). I think it'd be great if it could be remapped to be safer for both the prisoner and security.

You get just as many or more shitheads that are angry and will attack you with anything they can get their hands on, antag or not, then you get normal antags just trying to escape.

FarmWizard Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 The whole thing with a "safety" Pickaxe is kinda absurd. A Pickaxe that is so blunt it barely does damage but sharp enough to penetrate Rock.

Scrat Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Actually, pickaxes are pretty hefty; 15 brute damage, maybe 10. Much more robust than the famous toolbox which in actuality only does 5.

A Pickaxe that is so blunt it barely does damage but sharp enough to penetrate Rock. Maybe make it take longer to mine with it? Or perhaps it's a special pickaxe that detects organics and goes into a safety mode, where it does little to no damage to others, but turns this safety mode back off when penetrating rock?

FarmWizard Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Why not a safety drill that doesn't spin up when not against rock? Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/2507-gulag-safety-pickaxes/#findComment-14177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fj45 Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Nah, its the classic pop-culture thing for pickaxes. Ya know, with the whole chain gang and all? Gotta have atleast some of that.
