Re: Official, Hard and Fast ruling on atmos pressure limit

While we're at it - a general consensus on atmos rules in general would also be good. A layout of the terms and their discrete definitions, and what is or is not explicitly allowed.

As a preface to that, I will say that you can't really "ban" device ordering without basically banning the majority ...

Re: So you want to be a Nuclear Engineer (Reactor Guide)

Rather than editing, because I am immensely lazy, I'll just post here since noone else has so its right under the OP.

Turns out - when you use plasma injection, the extra neutrons come from the Gas Channels, not the rods! All plasma injection does is GIVE the gas channels a "Radioactivity" stat ...

Official, Hard and Fast ruling on atmos pressure limit

I had been told by admins in the past, back when alot of this discussion was informal in the discord engi thread (which is now kill), that 100mpa was the legal limit for piping of any kind - and that a subframe (A piping solution which is capable of infinite storage) would be fine so long as it ...

Re: HFR Cryptic But Simple

You can also use the TEG to cool HFR coolant and generate a fuckload of extra power on the side, though the PTP power from this won't really come close to the speso output of antinob production - it is a way to further boost profits that doesn't involve venting the entire plasma miner.

Also, some ...

Re: Banned for "Antag Rolling" (Cryoing within 10 minutes of roundstart) - but the truth is slightly different


Solution to your problem: Only ready up after the next map is revealed. If it is Core, don't ready up. :godo: This is what I do when I play--I wait till the map is revealed, then ready up. It won't affect your chances to get the role, as far as I'm aware. It's also not like the game doesn't tell ...

I don't antag roll - that is, I don't roll a normal roll then cryo when I don't get antag.

I roll for engineer, and if the map turns out to be Core (or a map that lacks an engine I wanted to play with), I cryo.

Is this still considered a rule break? While I do enjoy getting antags, I don't ...

Re: A simple guide to pipes!

Technical bit of misinfo - on volumetric devices the number of pipes they can move is 8x higher on 90%+ of servers due to an arbitrary speedup cvar from wizden

And then its halved after the fact since atmos processes in half second ticks - so its actually 4x!

Blob Guide

So, you did it! You were a Ghost, saw that shiny (and perhaps a bit spooky...) "Blob Carrier" ghostrole and took it! Or you were 3 minutes into your shift and got that heart attack inducing motif telling you you're a carrier. What do?


Well - just like the guidebook says, first things first you ...
