JaceyLessThan3 Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 So, you are running on internals in an emergency situation, and your tank runs out of oxygen. Somehow, you breathe hard enough to pull a complete vacuum in the tank, and now the tank is trying to suck your lungs out of your mouth. I am pretty sure this is not how air tanks work.
Owen Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 Unless I am really confused, isn't it just that you start suffocating because you run out of air? Like currently in game
Captain Gecko Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 I agree. Yeah that's pretty much it. Considering how little air there is in these emergency tanks, people ending up out of air isn't that rare... This should be fixed, really. That is if it's actually how it works... I mean I'm no specielist, but yes, if you're still with a mask+bottle you shouldn't get your lungs ruined by the void OUTSIDE. 4 minutes ago, YouJustGotOwened said: Unless I am really confused, isn't it just that you start suffocating because you run out of air? Like currently in game It depends. Just like when you don't have any bottles/masks, or just forget about your internals, if you run out of air, you can either choke, or have your lungs pop under the sudden "venting" of the air from inside.
WickedCybs Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 It should really just stop using the internals once empty, if that's possible. The mini tank sometimes feels like a bit of a new player trap due to how many deaths happen from it.
Sparky_hotdog Posted January 19, 2022 Posted January 19, 2022 ICly this could just be treated as a safety valve that shuts when empty. Possibly something you could disable with a wrench for antags?
Billy Mays Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Yeah, Suffered from this a few times breathing from a empty tank shouldn't have a chance to pop your lungs, I'm unsure how this would be coded in though.
Carver Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 If it avoided lung pop I'd have no issue, really.
Pratepresidenten Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 This has been brought up before and Im just as much for it now as I were then. Lung obliteration on an empty tank should be yeeted. My input then was that once the tank is dry, it flicks off and you start breathing whatever is in the room you're in. If you're in a sealed suit, you slowly get CO2 poisoned with blurred vision and clumsiness until the point where you pass out and eventually die from lack of oxygen. Unno how horrible the atmos touching code spaget will taste, but I feel this is the optimal solution.
