Atmos Roomba

[Midaychi]

Basically a small bot you can construct. Unlocked to atmos ID. Click on it while unlocked to get an interface to configure what gasses it cares about, or use an atmos tech pda.

Drag it to a gassed area and turn it on, and it'll follow its settings, roaming around the area near where it was turned on and collecting gasses, then when its reservoir is full, it goes to the nearest (in view) unobstructed floor scrubber, portable scrubber, or space tile in that order, and injects its gas load. It then continues on in this vein until given different orders or turned off. If there are no nearby gasses that it's set up to suck, it'll just sit there and idle. (unless set to patrol station, I guess)

As a bonus, I guess if there's a watertank nearby with water in it, the bot will attempt to fill up and fire extinguisher any fire that gets in the way of its holy quest to suck up gasses.

They should connect to portable connectors too.

[Midaychi]

Well yeah but then you run into the problem that it'd path to the nearest connector, and depending on where you are, you could be dumping gasses into the furnace or into the atmos distro or whatever. Coding it to be able to tell what the connector is connected to would be a lot of expensive.

However, there's nothing stopping a human from wrenching it to a connector. I guess if it was off then it'd just dump gas into the connector, if it was on it'd act like a configurable stationary scrubber.

Maybe add a right-click option to connectors that shows up on examine (or a little light on their sprite), functioning as beacon for the bot.
