Opinions to Think on

[Chimerabear]

 

Cyborgs with the janitor overlay thing should have a way to wet their mops, or-

Any form of cleaning occupation should get a sponge which would be like the mop but could be put in a pocket and a bar of soap that needs to be wet. This mostly has to do with the fact that the water mister/space cleaner can't clean walls and I find it somewhat stupid that you have to use the mop to clean walls and the soap doesn't spawn in the janitor's closet.

 

The bar should have a pool table (if what my friend said is true these exist) and other pool table items like pool ques, pool balls, etc. Even if they have no functionality it would still be cool to use for Role-Play.

 

Pool toys would be nice as Skrellian characters need something other to do with water than sit and do sweet tricks.

 

There should be one other type of open toed shoe as I find sandals get bland.

 

There needs to be a way to pour out all of the contents in a glass without having to use a machine, like a command in the object tab labelled pour out drink or toss glass contents in which would send the liquid in the glass flying in the faced direction.

 

There needs to be more than one janitor as it is a big station and calling in emergency janitor teams should only be used in emergencies, as stated in their title.

 

A drinks machine at the mining outpost would be nice.

 

I think some miscellaneous lore like celebrities, TV shows, sports teams, basically more things that are proper lore to the server that allow characters to develop more... well... character.

 

I know you're working on another fix for this already, but while the new lighting overhaul is great, the station could use floor lights to get the dark areas that the wall mounted light can't reach.

 

edit - How do the jani-borgs clean walls if not with a mop? Do they have soap? Because I haven't been a cyborg in a while.

edit - Maybe Tajaran and Unathi can each have there own kind of shoe.

I feel like there are a few to many suggestions in this suggestion. things are going to get messy if discussions start up about it.

9. I know you're working on another fix for this already, but while the new lighting overhaul is great, the station could use floor lights to get the dark areas that the wall mounted light can't reach.

 

I numbered your points for ease of response.

 

1. Jani-borgs can pretty much just run over messes to clean them. They have scrubbing brushes feet or something. This doesn't cause wet floors to my knowledge. Giving the janitor a bar of soap might not be a terrible idea though.

 

2. A pool-table would be nice, but it would largely be decorative since coding in a whole billiards mini-game would be an atrocious amount of code for it. Alternatively, you could implement an attack_by proc that is triggered by the pool balls and sticks that produces a message like " racks up the balls for a new game!" or " scratches the cue ball!" and so forth, giving a sense of play while keeping it simple. The table could have an overlay that redistributes the balls that are still in play at random every shot, so it LOOKS like you are playing.

 

3. I've heard that another server has pool noodles and a diving board. Making some new pool-themed items (and clothing) wouldn't be too absurd and might be fun. Largest hurdle on that is just getting decent-looking sprites.

 

4. You mean the jack-sandals aren't enough? Jokes aside, more variety might not be a bad thing, but not sure of what kinds we could offer. Open-toe shoes are meant for the clawed races like unathi, so whatever else is added should make sense for them to wear.

 

5. Dumping drinks would be nice, though throwing drinks might pose issues by giving you a ranged method of splashing someone with acid.

 

6. Aside from robotics being able to build a bunch of cleaning bots and jani-borgs, the station is a bit big for a single janitor to handle solo. Adding a second janitor job slot might be worth considering.

 

7. I'm actually sorta surprised the mining outpost doesn't have a drink vendor, adding one would make sense.

 

8. Our wiki is able to be edited by any of our forum users, though I would recommend suggesting any new lore here first for review and see how it's received before putting it on the wiki.

 

9. Floor lights would definitely be nice.

For 8, that is EXACTLY the kind of lore we DON'T need. With things like that, make up whatever you want. Thats better RP then any prebuilt lore could ever be.
