As I said on IRC, I'd love to see that for the Mining and derelict z-levels too. But secrets I guess.

I can't help but notice the outer Belt Hell being a remarkably safe place compared to many others. Perhaps more people should go and hang out there?

It's relatively new, I guess people have yet to figure out how best to take advantage of it.

Steps to taking advantage of it: 1) Push two crates out in the middle so they'll block traffic either way. 2) Stun people and shove them onto the mass drivers. 3) Success. Edit: Scratch that, I know an even better way. First off, cut all cameras nearby, so the AI can't peek. Then, RCD away the blast door to one of the launchers. Bolt open the door leading into the room. Shut off the conveyor belt, and stick an emag on the conveyor. Hide in a nearby locker with a spray bottle full of space lube.

I late joined as a mechanic and hit the million dollar jackpot on the slot machine I built in the engine room. I rushed to a certain store in the debris field and when I came out my pod was destroyed. I bought 3 gold pod armors, 3 of the other wonderful item in there, and called for a pickup when a miner requested yellow gloves to hack the autolathes. I gratefully handed over my spare items to the miners and headed back to the station, realizing I could now very easily bypass doors. It was an exciting round, but I learned when the station got flipped that the cable network also does not work well upside down and got stranded and died while riding the rails! It was still fun dropping in and out of the drama in Security at will!

I suspect that's one of the rounds where enterprising scientists bomb the escape shuttle with homemade handgrenades that alternate between killing the poo poo out of you and chemically bringing you back to life to die horribly again. Or maybe not. The timestamps don't support the hellsmoke/lifesmoke theory. Attack on Princess fucked around with this message at 10:05 on Nov 14, 2013 |

People should be careful about assuming the outer Belt Hell loop is safe just because people don't die there. I've seen a shipment sent to the new medsci dock whack a person pretty good because they were standing in the wrong place. Those mass launchers have a pretty good kick to them. On a related note, after a recent QM round with a particularly congested cargo bay, I came up with this. The cargo bay I desperately wish I could have.  Some stuff gets moved around. The bay is only one tile wider, but the effective available space is increased by about 50 percent, so there should be plenty of room for all the stuff you order and keep on hand. The pod bay is also two spaces wider, because the expanded bay moves it over a space, and it'd look weird if it stuck out just a single space from the next part of the station, so I made it stick out by 3 instead. Plenty of room for mass producing pods now. You may notice I removed the outer blast doors. I despise those things more than I hate wizards. Both when buying and selling, those things are always jamming the system. So gently caress them, just put that part in open space. For atmospheric integrity, you'd use the auto-airlocks I described in the image. Just say that they automatically cycle the atmosphere in and out as needed, so they're totally lossless. They'd have the advantage of making the cargo bay and docks safer. No more worrying about a crate flying in and pancaking you. Unless somebody emags the things. To make it work as I've envisioned, you'd have to give the shipping computer the ability to add barcodes to the crates you order, in place of the current comment box, and those barcodes include a "resell" option. The "1" cargo router sends a crate up for any barcode except "cargo bay" or "resell," in which case it sends it down. "2" sends a "resell" crate to the right, and any other one down. That way you can easily move crates back onto the market as you order them. "3" sends any dock barcode other than "cargo bay" to the left, and any other barcode goes down.

Don't things that are delivered by belt hell land on a conveyor belt at their final destination, and then they're moved (slowly, via that same belt) into the loading area where you can take it away? I guess I haven't seen a way in which an arriving crate/object/whatever can bowl someone over. I could be completely misremembering it. And if that's the case, don't make it safer! Industrial accidents are what make the station great. If anything, maybe put some sort of buzzer or flashing light when there's incoming cargo.

I guess I haven't seen a way in which an arriving crate/object/whatever can bowl someone over. I could be completely misremembering it. If both the outer and inner doors are open there is nothing to stop the launched crate and it comes flying in at quite some speed. Also, if the safety shutters aren't closed then Engineering gets your crate.  There's the sound of a mechanical bell when the outer blast doors open automatically, which signals an incoming (and in this case, safe) crate.

I do like the idea of those automatic cargo doors to stop high-speed crates, but they would have prevented one of the funniest accidents I've had as a QM. I'd set up a wooden barricade at the left end of the in-belt and one just above the out-belt so you could just push crates straight up to sell them back. This worked fine for a good ten minutes, but then when I was still standing on the in-belt pushing a crate, one flew in at superspeed and slammed me against the barricade. And kept doing it over and over. The server froze for a good 3-4 minutes with occasional bursts of multiple screens full of the message saying the crate was slamming into me. The lag finally ended when I exploded in a shower of gibs and the crate came to a rest on its own against the barricade To this day I still have no idea if it was the crate repeatedly slamming me that gibbed me, or if an admin did it to save the server

Many of the launchers are intentionally set to drive crates too far, causing them to overshoot their landing belts and slam into the room past them. This will not be fixed.

You should be able to duct tape a knife to a crate so that when it slams into someone on arrival, it just straight up gibs them.

Now that emagging the console doesn't let you buy special crates it should instead make it so that every crate comes flying in absolutely covered in spikes and horribly kills anyone hit by it.

Give consoles such as the QM console and the Delivery consoles speed settings, kind of like fabricators. Setting 1 is super slow, but safe and reliable. (I.E. poo poo doesn't get stuck in the door.) Setting 3 is normal speed, and crates can hurt. Emagging it gives you settings up to 5, which will instagib anyone hit by a crate.
