Some kitchen reworks regarding power outages.


Recommended Posts

So right now when the power goes out, which is frequent during deadhours, the kitchen basically ceases to be useful (unless you preheated everything in which case the remaining heat should still last you a little while). And while it certainly makes sense for many things to stop working when the... well, engine fails. There's a few that don't make sense, and I'd liek to see them reworked.

1. The stove. It's a gas stove, those work during power outages as long as you have some way to light them. Like a match, lighter, or igniter. They should still be useful during power outages.
2. I am so tired of everything in the smartfridge or heater getting locked in when the power goes out! Why do we need power to open the door to those? It's like... Power goes out? Bam, no access to ingredients unless you left them all lying out on the counter, and none of the food you made can be eaten. I get heaters and fridges need to consume electricity for IC reasons - they heat, they cool... But you should still be able to take stuff in and out.
3. Same for the grinder. I put a beaker in... power goes out... I can't eject the beaker.

I get that the kitchen's functionality should suffer and be more limited when there's no power at all but right now it's both unrealistic and a total gamekiller and makes me want to go to cryo when there's no engineers during deadhours, which in turn, just makes deadhours deader.
