Make Atmos fun (and FUN) again!


Recommended Posts

That actually sounds pretty hilarious. Atmospherics tech traitors would become pretty terrifying, given they can now space your air supply in a very short amount of time with air injectors or by smashing the air tanks.

 

It would make the turbine and potentially the supermatter completely nonviable as a power source, though (even less so than they currently are).

 

Oh also, it would give the current atmos setup of "cool incoming waste as much as possible" a downside; the atmospherics tanks would become supercold. This can be easily fixed, but adds additional tinkering to the job, which is nice to have.

I'll say the same thing I said in Discord

 

>People fighting over air tanks

>Cargo, Atmos and Toxins lording over the breathless plebes

>Voxy not seeings the problems yaya

 

Fund it

 

Vox, Plasmaman and IPC Confederation take over the now airless station.

As someone who works atmos a fair amount, I'm all for this.

 

Keep (so they can still be used) but empty out the oxygen and nitrogen tanks.

 

It's not ZAS, but it at least makes the job useful again under LINDA.

You can make new tanks from metal.

 

While technically true, I think you're misunderstanding what tanks we're talking about here.

 

We're talking about holding tanks, not canisters.

 

These are made of a considerable amount of plasteel (30 sheets), with reinforced floors.

 

The cost of making an atmos holding tank is...

 

50 Metal Rods for the basic floor to be laid down (25 tiles x 2) (25 Metal Sheets),

25 Floor Tiles (25/4 = 6.25, round up to 7) (7 Metal Sheets),

20 Metal Rods for 9 Reinforced Floors (10 Metal Sheets),

30 Metal for the outer wall girders (32 Metal Sheets)

30 Plasteel to reinforce those outer wall girders. (30 Plasteel)

8 Sheets of Reinforced Plasma Glass (4 metal, 8 Plasma Glass)

32 Metal Rods for the outer layering that goes on top (16 Metal Sheets).

 

That's 94 Metal Sheets, 8 Plasma Glass, and 30 Plasteel.

 

x2, since we want an oxygen and nitrogen holding tank.

 

188 Metal Sheets, 16 Plasma Glass, 60 Plasteel.

 

On the best of days, it will take you over half the shift to get all those materials and construct the holding tanks.

 

On most shifts, you won't even get that much plasteel.

 

Have them empty, but don't remove them - by removing them you're making the habitability of the station dependent on the notoriously unreliable Shaft Miners.
