You know those times when your a hydronics

and you have your inventory stuffed with tools and plant bags

 

what about a toolbelt for hydronics that holds their spade mini hoe hatchet seeds and robust harvest and plant scanner

that way they could also have a water tank on their bag. good idea

 

I didnt auctally thought of that

I was just thinking of a hydronics belt that could hold

- Mini hoe - removing weeds

- mini axe - killing/chopping plants

- syringe - for injecting chemicals

- beakers - to hold things like radium unstable mutagen

- wirecutters - for taking samples from plants

- plant scanner- to scan plants

- seeds - to plant later or perform xenobotany on

- flora disks - to keep certain data in your belt without losing it

- spade - for digging soil/grass away

 

Never thought of the space where you could hold a waterbackpack

Plant Bags actually can pick up and store seeds just like plant products, it even stacks them for you! The plant analyzer (scanner thingy) fits on your suit storage slot while wearing the botany apron (it actually starts there for round-start botanists). The hatchet, wirecutters, beakers, syringes, and mini-hoe all fit in your pockets or backpack. Flora disks and 50u beakers come in and fit in boxes, making storing a vast number of them easy by putting boxes of them into a backpack. Buckets also fit in backpacks, and hold way more than a beaker.

 

As for the spade, not sure what that fits on, usually don't bother with it much. The biogenerator can produce "utility belts" which are actually the brown toolbelts that engineering has. Most botany stuff doesn't fit in them, but the belt could potentially be adjusted to accept them if a second version intended for botany isn't made instead.

 

Oh, plant bags also fit on the belt slot. Playing inventory management is a common thing for most if not all jobs, taking things like the water-tank over a backpack is a trade-off that the janitor and atmos techs also face, and doctors face a similar trade with the defib units.

 

A fair suggestion nonetheless though. If botany got a specialized belt, I'd say it would be something they'd need to produce in the biogenerator so that there is a small investment to getting them, rather than letting them waltz all over the station packing the entirety of their lockers into their belt.

-Stacking seeds in a plant bag is terrible

Because you can stack seeds with different yield etc

Or with different genes

 

-toolbelt would only hold the wirecutters which inly has one use

The other tools does nothing

 

-putting your tools in your box beakers flora disks etc

Wont keep place for your waterbackpack tank in your backpack slot

Wasn't aware it was stacking seeds with different genes, probably a limitation with the code for handling packets for mutant/modified variants.

 

I'm aware the toolbelt doesn't hold everything, which is why I didn't say that it does. I did say that it would be possible to tweak the toolbelt to accept them, as an alternative to another belt being added.

 

Indeed, but that's part of inventory management. Which piece/set of equipment is more important to have on you at the time (or in this case all times) is a decision that many jobs already handle regularly. I was simply pointing out the options currently available to the botanists to manage their tools, not suggesting that it was the ideal case for all times.

 

Once again, I come back to the point that a belt to hold the tools could be a new biogenerator product or that the existing toolbelt (which can be made in the biogenerator) could be adjusted to accept some of the more common botany tools like the hoe and hatchet.

Yeah probaly the biogenerator would be a good idea

 

So a new toolbelt green sprited version of the toolbelt

200 bio points is needed

 

And while were on it cant we just

Add security/medical to it to?

Why did secbelts start with seclites anyways

Arent seclites available in tge sectech vending machine

 

Also i gotta say that botanist belt is pretty cool

 

And i tottaly forgot about the janitors belt

 

This will really add a second function to hydronics

If somoene needs a belt or has lost a belt

I don't understand what you mean by the merge conflict comment above, as this suggestion was successfully implemented over 2 months ago.

 

This has been an obtainable item for over 2 months now, I think I'll lock the suggestion as it is completed.
