Brightdawn Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Hello there! I'm Bright, Dawn, Brightdawn, That Pleb who plays Sunny or what ever you'd like to call me and I come here with a Sprite, some coding ability and a dream. And that dream is Coffee Machines. "But Bright you beautiful and spoopy skeleton" I hear you all call out, "We already have the normal coffee machines, and the bartender can make others" and yes you'd be right you awesome doods! but this one is different its special here let me outline my plans for this. There will only be one or two Coffee Machines on the station, out of these locations; The Detectives Office The Engineering Break Room The Medbay Break Room The Mining Outpost The Research Outpost The Back Room of the bar The Security Meeting room It will be default dispense a new kind of coffee "Rich Black Coffee" this has the exact same effects as normal coffee, but it can be augmented with different mixes and different coffee beans here are some examples: ( All are subject to change ) Rich Black Coffee + Milk = Delicious White Coffee, It heals you very slightly, its not something that could be used to power game as it could only heal 4-5 Health Delicious White Coffee + Whiskey = Irish Coffee, It provides the same effect as before but also gets you slightly drunk. Rich Black Coffee + Cream = Shot of Espresso, It acts as a very brief shot of hyperzine, only lasting a couple of seconds. Rich Black Coffee + Lime Juice = _______ ( I haven't come up with a witty name for this yet ), As lime juice already acts as a very weak anti rad I would boost it up to be a slightly better but still not great Anti-Rad I'd like for everyone else to provide other suggestions and help me plan this out, I thiiink I can code everything but what do you guys think! Thank you for reading!
witchbells Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 What if we removed coffee vendors and replaced them with coffee machines in each break room, the staff meeting room, one for each of the outposts?

Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Coffee vendors cheap the cheap stuff in plastic bottles. This suggestion would give us name brand coffee. I support it - a workplace needs a coffee machine!

I like this idea. Coffee vendors need to go. All hail the machines. We can expand a bit. Give it instant blends (which is just what we have in the vending machine) plus the new custom blends. Maybe a few tea recipes?

Nikov Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 http://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?p=49283#p49283 Pill-based hot drink machines allow more versatility.
Brightdawn Posted May 7, 2016 Author Posted May 7, 2016 Not really I'm happy to do each kind of coffee bean, have the basic ones start on station and the better ones have to be ordered, Pill based ones just seem kind of arbitrary when this idea works and everyone is familiar with it, like its just complicated and futurey for the futures sake.
Guest Complete Garbage Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 I'd really like to see this as a thing, would there be one in the bar?
Brightdawn Posted May 7, 2016 Author Posted May 7, 2016 It depends really I might add them to every break room style place I've been working on the code a little bit I'd like some suggestions for names and what effects the diffren coffees will have! I'll also have to sprite from scratch every different coffee bean bag, but I love doing stuff like that!
Fire and Glory Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 I really like the look of this, seems like the sort of thing that'd give good atmosphere and make coffee a half-decent RP prop instead of the machines being there to shoot cups at you during That One Event and the occasional moron who overdoses. No suggestions, but I completely endorse this, especially since the Suggestee is willing to code it herself.
BattleBorn Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 I like this idea in particular, though I would ask that one of the fixed location indeed be in back of the bar, ideally in place of the pointless hot drinks machine there.
Butterrobber202 Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 10/10 I'm all for the Coffee Overhaul of Aurora
Brightdawn Posted May 9, 2016 Author Posted May 9, 2016 /obj/machinery/chem_dispenser/coffee icon_state = "coffee_machine" name = "Coffee Machine" ui_title = "Morning Glory 83" IT BEGINS!
Fortport Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Is my tea suggestion still relevant? I hope I'm not derailing, but our ideas are similar. They could be combined.
UnknownMurder Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Proof of concept the darn thing works! Swell done. Can there be other types of Coffee or types of hot drink especially Cappicunio?
Brightdawn Posted May 12, 2016 Author Posted May 12, 2016 Proof of concept the darn thing works! Swell done. Can there be other types of Coffee or types of hot drink especially Cappicunio? Yep there will be don't worry, the point of the P.O.C was just to show how the very basic level was working, I've made threads about the other stuff!
