Captain Gecko Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Right, I'll be quick: we'll need Science tapes, just like Engineering and Security does. Gameplay-wise this will be quite useful. There are no real ways for Science to mark areas or prevent people from walking in. As an Anomalist main I use crayons on station and light beacons in space to mark anomalous AOE and dig site position respectively, but that's only for me, and a miner coming across this may not truly understand what it means, it doesn't quite carry the sense of "FORBIDDEN AREA" of tapes, especially without the soft block they effect they have... Roleplay-wise, most importantly, it's a great tool. Marking an area under the effects of an anomaly or some Golem hunkering down there, science tapes seem more appropriate than engineering or security ones. Said tapes could be put here and there on the map too, like around the bomb range, to prevent some overly curious Xenoarch or Miner to get on it without knowing. When it comes to where we could store it, either in the research storage that was added recently, left of the conference room, and/or in the locker in the telescience room, just above the rad-suit one and in Xenoarcheology's storage room (I believe Xenobiology has some storage area too...? Not sure). It's not incredibly revolutionary, but I think it can be quite a useful little thing. PS: Spriting is already covered. sciencetape.dmi Link to comment
