Mining Weather Radio #630

Closed CoiledLamb closed 1 year ago

CoiledLamb commented 1 year ago

About The Pull Request

Adds a new item, the mining weather radio, to the mining points vendor, QM offices, and mining base. This item can be used as a radio to communicate over supply channel with other miners, cargo techs, or the QM. In addition to this, it has a screen that displays warnings depending on the time left until an ash storm or snow storm. miningradioflavors this wouldn't be possible without code from Jacquerel, so thanks for that!!!

Why It's Good For The Game

letting miners know when a storm is coming allows them greater flexibility when interacting with the station, and advance warning if they are planning to head back to lavaland in the event of an ash storm. It also strengthens the link between miners and the rest of the cargo department by emphasizing use of the supply channel, and incentivizes using it with the radio's built in microphone.

Changelog

Added mining weather radio, an item for detecting storms and communicating with cargo.

I was going to say "this should be able to be placed in explorer's webbing" but fortunately as a subtype of radio, it already is.
