Firefoam Poppers - Githubissues

west3436 commented 4 months ago

What this does

Adds Firefoam Poppers:

Boards are printed at a Circuit Imprinter with the Engineering 2 tech level.
Requires 1 scanning module and 2 manipulators.
Will trigger if it catches on fire or if a fire is within 1-3 tiles (with upgraded scanning modules).
Sprays fire foam in a radius of 4 tiles; up to 10 with upgraded manipulators.
Can be mounted on the ceiling which will make it invisible and non-dense (can be walked through).

Thank you to @RealestEstate for the sprites!

Undeployed item state: item

Deployed machine state:

Triggered machine state: activated

Deploying animation: deploy

Triggering animation: activate

How to use:

Print the board and add components as you would for any machine.
Use a wrench on the completed machine to "minify" and pick it up.
Use the minified object in-hand to toggle between floor or ceiling mounting.
Apply it to the turf you want it located at.
Touching the deployed popper will tell you its current scan and extinguishing range.

Why it's good

Provides Engineers & Atmos Techs a way to help prevent fires in critical areas like the Bar or Library.
Adds another form of Science-Engineering interaction.

Changelog

I could, but I won't! Happy to use sprites any competent spriter gives me.

How do you see the ceiling-mounted ones?

How do you see the ceiling-mounted ones?

They still show up when you right click or alt-click the tile; additionally, a t-ray scanner will reveal them (they're also flipped upside down so you can tell them apart from ones on the ground).

get a real sprite!!!!

Eneocho commented 4 months ago

the popper sprite looks terrible outside of the rimworld visual context also, instead of making it a machine, make it a grenade with an expensive/slow to make chemical reaction, then make it so each atmosian and atmos locker spawns with 1 grenade this way fire protection stays reactive over proactive, would give a small roundstart supply and would encourage hardworking atmosians to ask the chemist nicely for some firefoam mix to make more, or stronger grenades

I like the sprite. Fuck all y'all

The whole point of this is to have a defensive measure against fire that doesn't require active firefighting, same as the firefoam poppers in Rimworld.

fair enough still don't like the current implementation of generic extinguisher foam over a semi permanent firefoam, but that's fair
