Taxi needs to be converted into a snow map

[N3X15]

Taxi works far better as a terrestrial map, since it gets rid of the shuttle issue entirely and would let us have a permanent ice survival world.

Suggested by some guy in OOC.

I am for any and all changes adding more snow maps.

Also, taxistation's multiple parts on a snowy map would create a lot of interesting outdoor encounters, which hits me deep. I want it.

Gamemodes aside one of the biggest issues with game mechanics is the pipe cooling. We need snow environments fully functional before anything drastic. It is unlikely but possible that taxi won't be fit for outside snow if and when it's complete.

Snow map? Why not a lava map, or a desert map, or any other kind of terrestrial map? Hell, I'd be fine with it being a swamp or even a grassland map, DrCelt's pet project already has snow covered.

Tundra outpost 13!

Seriously, what is with the snow obsession? Every time we do a terrestrial map, it's fucking snow!

DESERT STATION NOW

@Imagebard

Have you forgotten that firesuits are a thing? It's only worn by every other assistant who scrounges through maint, you know.

If that doesn't work, make it a swamp or something, anything but snow.

This is a rather solid idea honestly. It begs the question though of "why wouldn't the stations be wired together"?

7158 & #6789 need to be done before this is feasible.

This might actually make taxi into a decent map.

The entire delivery system would have to be remade as it relies on space traveling packages.

@DrCelt

Hence the request to make it a different kind of terrestrial map.

[NigglyWiggly]

Honestly, this sounds like a great idea. Should we change Centcom to be a terrestrial base too? Or is it gonna be a shuttle landing and leaving?

[Zth--]

Oh god imagine mulebots going from station to station on a desert. It's fucking great

[Blithering]

The warm suits that are on the research outpost would work. Maybe make a new locker with 2-3 of them in and dot them about the place. Delete the taxi shuttles, make pre-dug paths from station to station, and if possible replace carp swarms with bears.

[Blithering]

Perhaps counter it with smaller numbers then? Have 1 or 2 spawn instead, or make it a meteor style survival event with bears forever.

Random event: sandstorm with darude-sandstorm at the background
