Meltharas Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 I have seen this item before back when I used to play /tg/ station. Would it be possible to add something like a bluespace mining satchel so that the miners do not have to lug around the huge crates? https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:Bluespace_satchel.gif No one knows how the warp bags really work, and we already make bags of holding and even bluespace beakers and trash bags. I just think it would be really nice if mining was able to get the materials to research to get one of these bags to make their job a little easier.
geeves Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Not exactly what you asked for, but this'll do: https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/8492 The issue with huge ore satchels is that the inventory code really, really doesn't like bags that have a ton of shit in them, this is understandable. My PR circumvents the inventory system (hopefully) by yeeting ore directly at the ore box by bluespace shenanigans. Mining satchels can: - Have warp extraction packs be attached to them, I imagine it's like putting it in so it's like a backpack within a backpack. Try to not think about it too much, it's science. - If they have a bluespace pack connected to them, be clicked on an ore box that has a warp extraction beacon signaller, which links the two with bluespace power. - If they have a pack and a linked ore box, be attached to a drill, which will then teleport mined materials into the linked ore box. - If they have a pack and a linked ore box, ore put into it manually will teleport into the linked ore box. - Have their bluespace packs removed by clicking on them with a screwdriver. Why do you need one to take out a backpack? Try not to think about it too much, it's science. Ore boxes can: - Have warp extraction beacon signallers attached to them, how that works is probably self-explanatory. The rest is listed above. - Remove their beacons by clicking on them with your BARE HAND!! Mining drills can: - Have mining satchels that have both bluespace packs and a linked ore box attached to them. The rest is listed above. - Remove their mining satchels by clicking on them with a wrench. If a linked ore box loses its beacon, the satchels SHOULD be able to handle it and go, "uh oh, we lost our ore box! keep our contents", which is good. Hopefully. Storage code is butts.Warning: Warp signaller beacons, when deployed in hand, can not be taken down without admin help, currently. This'll probably change soon when I figure out the specifics. However, beacons attached to ore boxes can be taken down by clicking on them with your hand.
