[Recruit more Admins]

 

How do you propose to properly and legitimately get 'new admins'? Besides having a mass Call-of-duty like recruiting stand, there is no way to properly recruit a unique or genuine admin.

 

As it comes to us not having that many people, lack of admins don't usually correlate to playerbase, but there may be a different system on SS13. I know that when I play and no admins are on for multiple rounds, there's still a full staff around and the game is playable.

 

I really don't get what you're saying though. More admins =/= us being listed, or someone magically searching 'Paradise Station' at some point when it is unlisted.

The most common way I know to get new players is by inviting them personally, giving them the website. Not having more admins.

 

[Admin questions usage]

 

Am I allowed to ask general questions not-necessarily related to an RP scenario, like what karma is, for example. Or in my case, asking about races (i was asking about IPC mechanics).

 

I just want to know if there is a 'quota'. I know SS13 logs are pretty long and I don't want to be annoying and expand the logs (Assuming they don't have a console with all logs it in. Most servers I play on have a console for admins to view chat, but that's mostly on Gmod).

 

I've been asking a lot of questions recently and I don't want to be a nuisance.

i love this

Thanks, i saw your asthma thread and i was actually gonna ask if with your permition add it into this list as another dissability.

 

Go ahead. I was going to suggest it anyways.

[Asthma Disability]

 

I've come up with an idea for an asthmatic disability.

 

Why this is a good idea:

Purely for roleplay. I don't see any other reason to it, but if someone wishes to not rush around and take a pace, they could probably use this.

It is also a disadvantage, and some people may want to roleplay with disadvantages (IE - wheelchairs). Not much else to say, but I do go in depth with mechanics.

 

How it works (mechanics):

When you have an asthma attack, something like this would appear:

You feel devoid of oxygen!

Asthma attacks may occur when you are doing things that require a lot of cardio.

 

Asthma attacks should occur when you are:

Getting attacked and running away (usually when your health level is around yellow-orange during the attack).

Chasing people around the station (Security members, for example, running after a criminal).

Running away from a threat (OH SHIT NUKE SQUAD).

Dragging heavy shit around for a long time (Dragging the mining drill around the outpost for a useless amount, like over the 5 minutes it takes for you to walk through).

 

Asthma attacks would usually go like:

Your chest begins to hurt you...

Your breathe pace quickens!

You feel like you're about to pass out!

 

Asthma attacks would occur over a 3 minute period. Each minute the next warning comes up, and by 3 and a half minutes, the asthma attack takes place.

 

During an asthma attack, there should be a gasping mechanic. When body scanned, you would appear to be suffocating. Perhaps the body scanner will notify the medical guy that you are experiencing an asthma attack?

Asthma attacks would be about as long as seizures, cause blurriness in the vision (The big white thing that fills your screen when your vision is damaged) (To simulate being about to pass out), and cause lung damage fixable with dexalin plus.

 

A new item would have to be added in, the Inhaler! Anyone with asthma spawns with this in one of their pockets, and it is fueled by dexalin (no need to code in an entire new chemical, but if you really want to, code in the medical steroid). It has ~30 uses, 5 units being taken during each inhale. When you want a refuel, just go to the chemist and get your inhaler filled. When having an asthma attack, there should be an option in the Object tab to "Inhale", but this should only work if the inhaler is in your reach or is in either pocket. Otherwise, you need an external source to do it for you (All they'd need to do is have the inhaler in hand, help intent, and then click on you).

 

Going through one of these attacks will result in fixable lung damage and you will not pass out.

 

After using the inhaler, the asthma attacks stop and if you stopped the attack before the half-way mark, you will not have any lung damage and the visual damage will go away QUICKER.

 

Oh yeah, and smoking would cause an instant asthma attack which would last longer and do waaay more damage, requiring more dexalin plus and visual damage will last even longer. The damage will also come quicker, and over the time of the attack get worse. This will leave permanent lung damage if you go through the entire attack, but you will likely pass out.

You would need a double-dose from inhalers during a smoking asthma attack.

 

Running around immediately after an attack will make them progressively worse, until they are as bad as smoking attacks (Three asthma attacks in a row, as in, running around in the time span of anything less than 3 minutes in between).

 

A new SE would need to be added (and possibly one removed) if you want to make genetics be able to cure asthma.

 

[Buck's Guide to not Being an Atmos Scrub]

I actually cool the oxygen down while I'm working on the rest of atmos, when I have the waste pipe turned off. I just photoshopped the pipes to the O2 tanks being on so I would remember.

[Buck's Guide to not Being an Atmos Scrub]

 

Could you be more specific about what pumps you are talking about? Possibly use some pictures?

I'll list the pipes and valves, tell me which ones should be on

 

(valves are listed with VALVE at the end)

 

Distro to Waste

Mix to Distro

Pure to mix

Air to mix

unfiltered to mix

Gas mix outlet valve

Gas mix inlet valve

Air to port

Pure to port

N2O to outlet valve

N2O to pure

Plasma to pure

Plasma outlet valve

CO2 to pure

CO2 outlet valve

N2 To pure

O2 to pure

Nitrogen outlet valve

Oxygen outlet valve

Mixed outlet air valve

 

 

 

Or just circle which ones should be on in Paint or something?

 

[Buck's Guide to not Being an Atmos Scrub]

 

This is probably a dumb question, but it most pictures all of the gas pumps are off. I'm supposed to turn all of them on, right? I turned them on this round and it looks like Gas Cooling is clogging...

 

--also--

Are all the valves supposed to be open (The valves that lead to each Gas)

 

[Buck's Guide to not Being an Atmos Scrub]

 

So is the point of Atmospherics dealing with fires the quickest?

Or is it dealing with any toxins the quickest (CO2, Plasma, N2O)

 

---also---

 

If I were to supercool CO2/N2 to fight fires, how would I distribute this now supercooled air into an area with fires in it?

 

[Buck's Guide to not Being an Atmos Scrub]

 

Do you have any other questions? Very happy to help.

 

In your setup, I'm really curious as to why there are so many scrubbers connected to the pipelines and why there are connectors that connect to pipes that connect to nothing smack in the middle (next to the scrubbers).

I still don't understand much.

 

[Buck's Guide to not Being an Atmos Scrub]

This guide really helped me. I set up the O2 cooling system first. In future rounds I may try replicating other people's setup until I really get the feel of what Atmos is and try to go advanced. I really thought that if I changed one of the pipes I might drain the Oxygen or something at first.
