fludd12 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 TL;DR: Do you hate atmostechs? Great! Long story short, this would make it so that chemicals could be made into gasses. Said gasses would apply their chemical to every tile they're on (like smoke), one unit at a time, and be removed at the same rate. This also balances it, in that you can't make cheese gas to coat the station in infinite, world-crashing cheese. (And, of course, you can't make acid gas that hurts, but that's a lesser issue.) Are you an atmostech? Do you like people not dying? Put some synthflesh gas in the atmospherics system. Are you the clown? Spread space drugs gas! And then space lube gas! Tabun gas for the really dedicated (since the unit count would be spread throughout the gas, limiting it's units, making it go away fast!) is an effective terror strategy! You could give the gas particle effects that are colored as the chemical color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidNightfury Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've wanted something like this for quite a while. Plasma fire? Mix up that stuff that the atmos extinguishers use and pipe it in. Virus outbreak? Start pumping in radium or such to fight the disease. Lots of applications, if it can be coded and not result in a complete mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTSAM Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Yes, this is a great idea. Would the results be hilarious if someone were to put styptic powder into atmos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthdivine Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 This also balances it, in that you can't make cheese gas to coat the station in infinite, world-crashing cheese. Someone's done their homework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidNightfury Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Actually. If this were somehow made functional, would that also allow you to make gas bombs the same way you can mix two beakers in a grenade? Because now that would be something interesting.

Mrs Dobbins Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I swear there was a PR for something like this on /tg/, which looked like it would make griefer atmos techs' lives a lot easier, as they could just fill distro with CLF3. I'd find the PR, but I'm too bloody lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
