Ian The Corgi Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Sometimes as a robotocist I need buckets/additional welding masks/proximity sensors/minihoes and my only option is to either beg R&D or beg Cargo. adding an autolathe to robotics would fix this. That is all.
DaTimeSmog Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 I really dont see a reason why we would need an Autolathe as all it would do is make us even more resource demanding. Aside from that, the usual setup of 2 cleanbots and 2 medbots is quite easy to complete, and you have more than enough proximity sensors in the vendor. Welding masks are rarely demanded and I honestly dont see why you need more than 2 considering we also get welding googles.. and I have no idea why you have a demand to make minihoes, aside from the botanist asking for a farmbot.. in which case he should bring the materials himself. Also adding more Autolathes just gives departments more chances to suddenly arm up, as ammo can be cheaply produced there so a hacked lathe can easily turn a department into a fortress.
Carver Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 I disagree for the reason that it presently encourages Robotics to further interact with cargo or their own department coworkers. If you're in a situation without said coworkers, you'd likely be able to either ask the AI/HoP for access or simply break in yourself via tools. As for balance (As if anyone cares about it), giving Robotics a lathe would make it one of the most frightening antag positions in the station. Nearly on par with an RD.

Carver Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Just now, VTCobaltblood said: Not like R&D windoor is ever closed. lmao It's true, RD has hardly anything extra that a capable Roboticist couldn't easily access anyways since all they need do at the moment is e-mag a borg. Giving them a lathe just means they can print shit for themselves with 0 questions asked.
Arrow768 Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 I have to vote for dismissal on this one. You should coordinate with your coworkers / other departments for minor things such as this.
Butterrobber202 Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 This just gives Tator Roboticist free access to revolver rounds.
Lady Fowl Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Voting for second dismissal, you should be working with RnD for these things
