Through dark rituals, the solarium team has altered the very fabric of the server.

The solarium secret: After all the solarium puzzles are solved, the LLJK server itself appeared in the solarium as a destroyable object. When destroyed, all human mobs instantly burst into flames and then were flat out deleted from the game, and the space graphic was changed to a fire texture. Then the server restarted.

But it restarted into a special, super spooky 'Solarium Aftermath' mode (Mad props to cogs for throwing that together in a day, btw). Naturally, it was spooky and very lethal, but amazing.

Solving the Solarium involved something like two months of work and the combined efforts of ~10 people. We're gonna have cool stories about it and more for y'all eventually.

We are now 2-0 on solarium solving attempts! This time, during the disaster round that followed, we made our way back to the solarium to see if anything changed. Everything was the same (seemingly) except the automaton was now a very pissed off automaton that mauled two, possibly three, people before it got put down. I'm amazed that we pulled it off twice in one day. Couldn't have done it without such a good team.

I also was a guy who got given captain ID's so I could buy and unlock weapons and murder the few antagonists who stayed behind and tried to stop me from sending on more things. Sadly, wasn't on for the 'success' attempts, but still.

The Solarium would go and get solved like two weeks after I drastically cut down my playing time  Great stuff, though. Still wonder what solving it will do when admin japery isn't afoot.

Managed to achieve a reasonably stable 10mw today, but REALLY need to keep on top of pressures - and do several pressure build up and vents to increase the temperature of the gas. Whole process took about 40 minutes, I left it go to see what would happen but a pipe breached at 12mw and that was the end of that  The combustion chamber set virtually everything on fire though, which was fun!

Whole process took about 40 minutes, I left it go to see what would happen but a pipe breached at 12mw and that was the end of that Hey, when do you normally vent? So far, I've been trying to vent when the pressure builds to between 2K and 2.5K KPA, which I found pretty much stabilizes the pressure, but that's at relatively low temperatures. Is that range the butter zone, or does it move as the pressure climbs? Also, while you have use of the RCD to space the tile under the oxy tank, you can also try building a wall or two in the hallway between the northern door and the combustion chamber door, or possibly spacing a border of tiles around the chamber. I haven't tried the latter, but if it works like I think it might, a border of space might shield the station from some of the heat. I do know that since walls can't burn, if the fire gets hot enough to melt the doors, you'll be safe from a station devouring inferno with the former method.

WEEDLORD CHEETO posted:The Solarium would go and get solved like two weeks after I drastically cut down my playing time The post solarium solar flare and megaspookydisaster round is completely automatic. The latter was written by cogwerks literally the night before the solarium was solved. The only admin intervention that occurred was me possessing lovely Bill to say some situationally aware things ("Did I ever tell you 'bout that time some nerd saved me from a giant drone that wouldn't quit staring at me?"). And help the players notice that the King in Yellow was floating outside the Solarium window (we felt bad because it had been dropped in lava earlier, and decided to respawn it since it was literally the last thing they needed).

Well, I stand corrected, that's fantastic. I feel like the person who completes the puzzle should be made a temporary admin-god in the ultraspooky round or something but that is probably a terrible idea

So, I've noticed that I've been pretty unlucky with rolling CE as of late. I've got just engineer and CE in my job preferred list, with CE higher up, and there will be rounds where I'm the only engineer and there's no CE at all. I'd take engineer out of my list to increase the chances that I'm picked for CE, but I'm worried I'd get staff assistant or something. Still, you'd think that I'd get CE in that situation.

The biggest problem is that the solarium puzzle requires a team to complete in a reasonable amount of time with a reasonable chance of success. Last night's solution was the culmination of about two months of work by a group of people.

My favorite part of the solarium event was the round after the round after where everyone started with no jobs and had to scramble to find the tools to break into places to even get the station running.

There's something very bugged with grabbing right now. If you grab passively, then aggressively, and then hit UPGRADE on your hand instead of switching to hurt intent and upgrading the grab that way, then you get stuck with a "grab" item in that hand slot forever, rendering it useless. Also, cakes are all coming out as "yellow cake" no matter what ingredients I put in the oven with the batter. Jazerus fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Nov 25, 2013 |
