Engineering/Atmos gameplay improvements.

[keronshb]

This will be a master list of all potential engineering/atmos improvements.
If something is not listed please comment and it could be added.
If there is no issue, it hasn't been made yet.

TO-DO:

• Devices

  • RCD needs a rework #15708 - RCD Rework & Improvements
  • [ATMOS] devices/piping/pipe tracker #4203 - Atmos Devices

• Engines

  • Tesla
  • SuperMatter Crystal & events (crystal cascade event/solar flare event)

• Atmos

  • Rooms should only fill with distro if at unsafe levels (flood prevention)
  • Areas are spaced too slowly for vents to ever stop #20293 - spacing is too slow

• Refactoring

  • AtmosPipeColor stuff should just be prototypes #13068

• Bugs

  • TEG requires APC power to function, a consequence of varied issues #20313 - TEG bugs
  • MetaStation salvage external airlock vents air distro #20788 - Meta mapping atmos issues
  • Atmos devices being able to work while occupying the same slot on the same pipent #10333 Stacking pipes/devices (check for anchored pipes) (Fix gas pipe stacking #19665 - fix for pipes)
  • Air Scrubber stacking on the same tile #20365
  • Gas pumps don't indicate when they are turned on but not pumping #20548
  • Passive vents do not work under planet atmos #15653
  • Vent under floor tile will still warn you about high pressure in pipe despite you not starting doafer for unwrenching #10163 (needs replicating)
  • Gas pumps don't indicate when they are turned on but not pumping #20548

• Requests

  • Radiation Collector improvements #20953 - Radiation Collector improvements
  • Engineering/Atmos requires more admin logging #20952 - Admin alerts
  • Standard/Guidelines for how atmos devices should be mapped
  • Pipe layers (1-5 or 1-3)
  • Make Volumetric Gas Pump overclocking activatable or remove it #20549

super matter? crystal cascade event?

Here's a problem with current spacing mechanics #20293

If gas miners are ever to be removed, it will be only amplified. Even with gas miners present, a few such vents are able to waste more air than is being produced.

A more generic problem with mapping atmospherics: #20788

There should be standards/guidelines for how atmospheric devices should be mapped to prevent such situations.

SM was already on the list but I added your event

Pipe stacking needs to be fixed still, I think

I'm not familiar with pipe stacking. Is it just stacking (anchored) pipes on top of each other?

Adding layers and checking for anchored pipes should fixed that.

theres a pr for that open

[keronshb]

theres a pr for that open

Which one?

#19665

[chromiumboy]

Yup that's what I was thinking of
