Description

Fire code change means toxin's bombs are pretty gott damn bad now. There's very little reason for the department to even exist any more, as getting a bomb that is feasibly usable for mass-mining is a chore 99% of players will not want to do. Even an antag would have to be insanely dedicated to get themselves a 7dev, with the process a lot more effort than it's probably worth. You can probably much easier blow up the station with shard memes now.

I get that people generally don't like bombs, especially when it's 6x TTV bombs ruining the whole station in two seconds, but an un-PR'd change to the whole system without letting people discuss its ramifications has made a part of the game which was already fairly derelict a ghosttown.

I also believe that Nuke Ops' TTVs are now broken, or at least not bomb cap any more, although I'm unsure about this as I haven't played them but I've heard anecdotal evidence for this.

I'm opening this because I didn't see any github discussion on the change outside of a generalist framework here: https://github.com/vgstation-coders/vgstation13/issues/24595

This is too much of a nerf to the game to be ignored for so long.

It's a config change, not a code one Talk to Pomf

It appears freezer/heater bombs are broken now, but that might just be my incompetence.
