Stephanov Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 You're a traitor and happen to be chemist too, awesome. Now space lube has many fun uses, but how about an actual useful one. What if I were to cover my own character in said substance, making it impossible to use grabs on me for a while. "x tried to grab y, but they were so slippery that they were unable to get a grip" Thoughts? Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fj45 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Disposals shouldn't hurt you. Should also be possible to combine with an extinguisher and office chair for extra craziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the disposal one sounds pretty good aswell. Though I think the damage is more from motion rather than friction in the tube, isn't it?

EbonyUntruth Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 The damage from disposals is more about getting thrashed about in a metal tube than friction. All those bends and turns aren't good for the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veganzombeh Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Preventing damage from disposals seems a bit off, but making people unable to grab you is a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaargrath Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 This idea completely redefines what it means to 'yakety sax' away from security. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those bends and turns aren't good for the body. I've tested disposals as a bored atmos tech a few rounds, and I can confirm that its the bends that mess you up, not the straight-aways.

Lifixs Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 What about door jams? After x number of activations theres a random chance that a door will lockup. To fix this you screwdriver open the doors panel then spray/splash/drop with space lube. Shutter jams are another possibility but that might be more complicated. Machine jams might also be a valid use. ("That vending machine stole my monies!") These features would also help reduce the meta (presuming door issues are all player-caused).

Fj45 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 That would just be horrible. Running from the sing? LEL ITS ME, RNG! Screw you! Vending machines are buggy enough, no need for actual faults. I do not understand your point about doors being meta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifixs Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 That would just be horrible. Running from the sing? LEL ITS ME, RNG! Screw you! Its only a random chance after a certain number of uses. Besides thats why main hallways have multiple doors. Vending machines are buggy enough, no need for actual faults. Why? Thats more incentive for the chef to do their job. I do not understand your point about doors being meta? When you run into a door that doesn't work, its almost never a random malfunction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanov Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Isn't there also robot people/cyborgs? I'm sure a moderate efficiency improvement could be in order? Maybe using less energy when their gears are well greased? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbonyUntruth Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 In regards to the door thing, you could possibly have it that space lube allows you to crowbar closed emagged doors. They still don't work but at least they're closed and you can use more to open it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fj45 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 That's a very good idea, could even be used by traitors to good effect. (Although bolting first would still be more effective) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe using less energy when their gears are well greased? Robot people should get a speed boost just for drinking the stuff. It could even be used as a regent for special machine-people drinks at the bar. "Tinman" Drink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
