I think atleast that those few that play virologist will feel pretty miffed that their current lab gets turned into what amounts to a cleaning supplies closet. If you want to combine these roles I'd for one make the setup a bit more inspiring as not to make players of both of these jobs feel disappointed at the outcome. I'm all for merging the jobs but not if the lab turns into this.

Thanks for reporting the issue, I'll get around to fixing it when I can.

I'll keep it mind for the future, Amory. As for now I've moved the racks which were in the way at the entrance, and added another airlock in the back. Should make the space feel less of a dead end, So we'll see how it plays out.

I'll think about changing that, Cobalt, as it varies a bit throughout maintenance if they're access restricted or not, I'm not really sure what's best. Thanks for the input, both of you.

Feedback thread for https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/6086 If you have any ideas, requests, feedback, questions or opinions be sure to let me know. I'm pretty new at this so any input is valuable.

I've wanted to explore spacer esque characters for a while now, so this would just be perfect. Seriously nice work from both a lore and mechanical standpoint.

Powertools is something I've definitely wanted for a long time, so many thanks for that, I'm just curious what they will do, be speedier versions of already existing tools?

Sure, simple change. And it'd fit better. I'll put it into my next pr, though may be a little while before that's finished.

This looks fantastic and unique, I appreciate the mish-mash nature of it. I know Voyd is a great roleplayer and I could see them pull off playing an emote-oriented stationbound well. As for the technical aspects I have no idea unfortunately of what is actually possible regarding custom borg skins.

Thank you for chiming in. The positive feedback for this project means a lot.

Your caution is well warranted, I've also been a witness to many mapping misses in the past. I intend to playtest my mapchanges a lot more. Swapping those spaces could work too yeah, I'll give a shot later on and see how it pans out. Thanks for the feedback.

The new xenobotany has all the same atmospheric capabilties as before, as far as I can understand it. I have very little botany experience. The firing range being elongated was not intentional and it'll be something I'll remedy soon. Thanks your well laid out points, I'll think over the rest of your suggestions, and most likely implement them.

Feedback thread for pr https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/6038 I'm very appreciative for any and all feedback or questions. This is my first pr and first attempt at mapping, so do let me know if you see anything amiss.

Please for the love of everything, don't add these. Not sure exactly what you call it but the colouring/shading of these human sprites look both drab and soulless when you actually try to use them. They don't fit with the rest of the colour palette of our server. I wouldn't be against it if they actually fit with the rest of our aesthetic.

Thanks for having been, and continuing to be, a pillar of positivity of this community. After going through some tough times myself this past year I’m very thankful for your efforts to make me feel welcome here. Good luck with everything in the future, I’m sure you’ll do great in any effort you put your mind to.

I've certainly enjoyed this addition, managing exports and going around the station to broker deals with various departments is fun. An idea I had was to perhaps implement some rewards other than just cash. A bounty could sometimes for example offer a crate of leftover medical supplies, a crate of party supplies, mining equipment, or perhaps just a crate of completely random stuff akin to those found in the warehouse.

Sounds like a fun feature, bringing some well needed spice to the geography of the asteroid once in a while, which otherwise is just enormous, empty and repetitive to work in.

I've personally often felt cramped working in research on the main level, Both in the RnD lab along with the chemistry and misc science rooms. So opening it up a bit more like this certainly would incline me to enjoy working in the department a bit more. Also moving the conference table away from the elevator entrance would go to improve the flow of traffic for sure. The glass portions between the RnD lab and the research hallway, along with the test chamber viewing room are welcome additions too.

Flares can infact be ordered from cargo, under the operations tab, 80cr.

I like the roundabout design, the expansive surgery and close proximity of critical care areas. But one problem I find is with the examination rooms, like the four at the bottom. Such rooms are rarely used from what I’ve seen atleast. Great for antag shenanigans but perhaps less so for the triage situations medical often turns into. Something I propose, although this'd ruin a lot of the work you've already accomplished, would be placing the medical lobby in the north-west corner giving it access to both those corridors while also keeping the EMTs easy access to the rest of the station instead of placing it deeper inside of medical. This sketch I made up also places the ICU and General Treatment close to the Lobby/EMT station as that is where the majority of patients in critical condition will be carted through. Included is a three wide corridor providing easy access to surgery without people getting cramped, akin to the old map design and your proposal. This sketch is far from perfect but it's just an idea.

Looks like a fine addition. An idea I had for more equipment was maybe giving hydro 1-2 weedkiller grenades. They can be ordered from cargo but I've never seen them used outside of admemes.

The addition of the the cargo delivery program and the tablets have been working out good, and now that you can process payments before the crate is sent via the shuttle has simplified processing large orders. I see that adding invoices is planned, One thing I’d like to have as well is being able to print receipts, Because a lot of the time crewmembers pay for work related stuff out of pocket. With a receipt of the transaction they should be able to get reimbursed by their supervisor at a later time. The addition of a controllable shuttle to pick up deliveries is a cool idea. Cargo crew being able to directly affect shipment times instead of having to wait an arbitrary amount of time would be a really welcome change. One other thing, Some of the cargo categories are pretty bloated and you sometimes have to scroll pretty far to find what you’re looking for, But perhaps this’ll be made better if the categories are removed inplace of suppliers with subcategories and/or if the ability to search for an item like on the project page.

I'm up for anything really to make mining less mind numbingly boring once you've become good enough at it. I'd be up for some hostile creatures on the asteroid as long as their spawning patterns make sense and it's not out of thin air right next to you, I get enough heart attacks as is from sorting the cargo warehouse. Shock absorption boots sound like an interesting compromise instead of having magboots. The lethality of falling on the asteroid is brutal, Even when I try and rescue fallen miners the fastest that I can they usually end up dying anyhow. The Pr adding the availability of hoists as well as ladders is a welcome one, No longer would miners have to fight over them.

I don't mind the sound that much, But It would be good if its radius was shrunk so mostly only you yourself could hear it while scratching.

The way I learned engineering in the beginning was playing as a maintenance drone and just trying out to repair/refurbish places in maintenance, Particularly the old bar/theater. You'll be left alone for the most part and nobody expects anything from you. This allows you time to practice basic structural repair, placing light fixtures, building doors and the like. Maintenance drones also have almost limitless resources as its metal,glass and other resources get replenished when you charge up. https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Maintenance_Drone You spawn as a drone by clicking the 'Join As Drone' button in the ghost tab when you're either dead or simply joined as an observer. When you feel more comfortable with the basic repairs I wouldn't hesitate to join as a apprentice, Just remember to ask for guidance/help in areas you're unfamiliar. There may not be someone around to teach you every round but keep trying. Also here's a guide to how wiring works, If needed. They're kind of an enigma at first. https://baystation12.net/Nwiki/index.php/Basic_Construction#Wiring Hands on help and guidance is most effective. So If you do have any particular questions, Feel free to ask me on the server discord ferner#2487 or send me a pm.
