add extra slots to mining

[cocothegogo]

everybody wants to mine or kill bad guys, why cant this be the dream that ss13 has always wanted?

[Saegrimr]

:id: :id:

[Super Aggro Crag]

Ain't easy mining with no fucking gear. Until you let us smash rock and collect ore with our bare hands anyone getting swapped to miner is getting screwed over.

[imblyings]

There are three extra lockers at mining with the essentials.

[Wyzack]

Add pickaxes to the autolathe?

[Xhuis]

Add pickaxes to the autolathe?

>using pickaxes ever
For real though, see what imblyings said. There are three extra lockers at the mining station and the HoP has a voucher - that's enough for four extra miners.

Actually pick axes are useful, dig a 1x1 channel, then switch to the off hand and just move forward then press side to side quick and you can chew out a 3 across tunnel really fast with them.

Including the suits?

[onleavedontatme]

Suits are not needed.

[Super Aggro Crag]

how can you mine without one.

[oranges]

take the mining tool into your offhand and walk into the rock, it will start the mining.

[Saegrimr]

how can you mine without one.

Ask people on the Gulag.

All you need is internals. You can literally mine naked as long as you have an oxygen supply.

and the HoP has a voucher

That got removed, unless that got added back again.

[Wyzack]

As long as you have internals you can survive lavaland I think

[Alipheese]

3 extra lockers in the back of outpost. (6slots essentially).
No clothing needed* whatsoever.
No vouchers from hop.
Pickaxes are beast mining tools.
Ka's are* for combat strictly pretty much.
I enjoy meme'ing Kor's precious 'tough' bosses and just laughing and facetanking them all besides bubblegum. Fuck him.

[Zilenan91]

Honestly Kor I think you're kinda missing the point. The reason people like mining is because of the gradual gain in power they gain over the course of a round. Without a suit a great amount of that power, and that enjoyment, is missing.

make bone armor it's cool

[Zilenan91]

Bone Armor is cool but that's more of an ashwalker thing

[Durkel]

The main problem is access to lavaland itself being the shuttle and the airlocks in the way. What I think should be done is remove the shuttle and use the gateway instead, just redesign the shuttle landing spot into a gateway room. Make the doors leading out to lavaland all access, but keep part of the mining outpost locked to the mining ID so miners can still manage to do shit without asshats getting involved.

[Jacough]

My problem with making mining more accessible is that it'd encourage more people to just fuck off to mining leaving the station pretty empty. It'd be like with gateways where you'd have pretty much the entire crew storm through it hoping to score syndie gear and what'd you end up with was a shit ton of corpses rotting in the away mission with a few people who either didn't go on the away mission and maybe a couple who did and survived back on the station playing with their new toys. I'd imagine the same would happen with lavalands because let's face it, everyone wants the fun toys on Lavalands.

[Incomptinence]

Lavaland isn't usually deadly enough to wipe a station a tourist with just internals could get around a fair bit behind the miners without dying.

[Amelius]

The problem is if you have a ton of people in lavaland, then suddenly all the difficulty of lavaland is gone. Also, instead of being a sideshow it becomes basically a main focus, with another ten or so people effectively out of the round. Then you have to compete with everyone for loot.

The rounds where they sent a shuttle filled with people to lavaland were awful.
