From 60b172428cdb60a609cc2acca7a12bb37ff996ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben <91219575+Ben10083@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2023 18:33:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Replace Robotics Dome Operating Table with Bioprinter (LVL-624) (#3969) # About the pull request As name says, robotics dome LVL-624 will have it's operating table removed and replaced with bioprinter. # Explain why it's good for the game Operating Tables are one of the most powerful objects in the game. The reason is simple: larva removal. They are the only way to get it removed, and as such, securing a area WITH a operating table ends up as a worthwhile side-objective for marines. However, with LVL-624, it's robotics dome ALSO has a operating table. This becomes problematic for the following reasons: - It is VERY VERY VERY close to LZ2, making LZ2 by far the usual best option in a large part due to this, as robotics dome can easily be fortified by expanding the FOB. - Due to above nature, xenos cannot reliably try to contest this area compared to other ares in LVL (medical dome) or other maps (Big red: medbay) - Combination of both these factors makes robotics dome, and by extension lz2, extremely powerful, as the ability to have shipside quality surgery at FOB greatly shortens the time a marine can be 'out of action'. Overall, I feel that replacing this operating table with a bioprinter fits the spirit of robotics, while still giving a advantage to securing that area, that being a nearby source of prosthetics. # Changelog :cl: balance: LVL-624 Robotics Dome operating table replaced with bioprinter. /:cl: --- maps/map_files/LV624/LV624.dmm | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/maps/map_files/LV624/LV624.dmm b/maps/map_files/LV624/LV624.dmm index b84ed33ef0e4..a8aac22505c8 100644 --- a/maps/map_files/LV624/LV624.dmm +++ b/maps/map_files/LV624/LV624.dmm @@ -4877,7 +4877,9 @@ /turf/open/gm/coast/beachcorner/north_west, /area/lv624/ground/jungle/west_jungle) "ayj" = ( -/obj/structure/machinery/optable, +/obj/structure/machinery/bioprinter{ + stored_metal = 1000 + }, /obj/structure/machinery/light/small{ dir = 4 },
