Let’s just allow metagaming in this one instance. /s
I’ve always been curious what a game without the ore silo would be like. Been tempted to dismantle it as the QM on a high pop round and try to keep all departments supplied as well as I possibly can. The fax machine would be great for sending out requests for materials.
Yeah that’s the problem, ORM being gone would be a tremendous detriment to lowpop rounds.
i think if this were a thing to make it less tedious we should have department specific silos and make department machines only be compatible with a department silo
im doing it
edit: it is done
It makes sense like, how’s it gonna let something crawl through it if it can’t even let air in or out? How’s that gonna work?
Yeah this is kinda of my point. Like qm is already the person who is in charge of it? Just put it IN his office or something. The argument that qms never check slash use it’s remote also is like. Why would they need to know about something that they a. Don’t have access too and b. No one ever looks at until it’s broken. Of course they never take care of it they cant see or access it.
Perhaps removing the ore silo on round start would be good. Add in an extra board in their locker so they’ll have to set it up themselves.
Maybe in the vault maybe elsewhere.
soon… just… wait…
I don’t see how this is related…?
“Morph ate the ore silo!”
Considering the averge miner unless I am borderline whiping them. Please bring it back.
it’s too easy to ignore those miners who do their job but die on lavaland and just go for the cargo supplies or other sources before having even remembered a miner still exists
I am not sure adding more opportunities to bypass the miners is a good idea in the job’s current state
compared to explorers they lack quite some things such as on shuttle communications and a message that should warn other crewmembers that they are pretty much dead and should be rescued
(if there’s still something left of them)
though I can see the exact same mechanic being less of a fit for the way lavaland works and the fact that it seems to give some… false positives?.. at times, is a weird part
I removed megafauna dusting folks, there will always be at least a head.
The amount of times I’ve found dead Miners by Hiro is DAMN TOO MANY!
Next thread:
“Ruko ate the ore silo!”
:Handsometroll:
Something like this?
If you really want to try it out, do it as a QM gimmick. I may murder you or make my own Ore Silo if you do.
A small price to pay
@taylor, try it or no balls. I won’t be on for quite some time, but I’d love to hear from you how it goes.
you think I, the Quarterlord, will make more work for myself? You think I would scurry around with materials for science like a little rodent? I spit on you!
Of course… with an EPS unit mailing mats instead of letters and a few attentive Cargo Techs it’s doable… and you could perhaps charge for the materials… bleed Science dry…
