Adding more Pills into Kelotane Pill bottles

Post by CraayyZ » 15 Jan 2017, 17:37

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): So I've been playing Colonial Marines for a good 8 months? (Forgot password on my other accs, so I made new one) and I have a Combat Medic main, and while I play Combat medic. I always get so triggered when I have to take all the Kelotane pills from one bottle, and put em in another. It's time consuming, especially when you're racing against the clock against briefing and getting on the Rasputin in time. Tramadol comes already completely filled (I think 14 pills in 1 pill bottle? While Kelotane comes ready with 7)

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): No more dicking around as Medic emptying a Kelotane pill bottle into another one. (Meaning having it empty it 1 by 1. Then dropping the one you wanna use, and fill that one up.) Have it come completely filled like Tramadol.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Like Normal how normal pills come from the Medical Vending Machines.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Just add more pills pls? ;~; Make our lives easier ;~;

+1. In addition, if you use a pillbottle on another pillbottle, all pills in the second bottle, up to the first bottle's capacity, should be transferred over to the first.

No, they never did. Any Medical vending machine gives you the 7 with Kelotane while every other pill bottle is the max amount.

Ehm, I'm a main medic player, and It's very rare for me to spend an entire Kelotane pill bottle (I carry two bottles anyways)

I don't think that's necessary, you can use burn kits to heal the wounds, kelotane is just useful to heal a marine inside a boiler cloud, or who was knocked down and melted by spitters/praes for a long time...

Neutral for now, I wanna see if more medics have the same problem as you
On May 17, 2016, a group of farmers dug up the diary of an ear of corn named Watson. Here are his entries.

Day 76:
They took Lawrence, dear god Lawrence... They ripped him off the stalk and smeared him in butter, just like Tyler and Jodie. They shipped him off to the popcorn factory...
I wonder what his wife will say.

Day 120: My brother says the VEGANS are protesting for more anti-meat bullshit. They want more of us to die. FUCKING HEATHENS.

Day 153: The ants are eating me from the inside out. They are popping out my kernels and taking them back to the nest. I feel them moving inside me. Julia says the pesticides will end our misery.

Day 300: Sweet Release. I can hear the planes flying over now. They are dropping the gas, it feels so good, sweet release-

I'd say it's more or less an annoyance. I'm not sure if any medics personally have this problem as well. They probably haven't noticed. Nothing ever wrong with getting more Kelotane pills in the bottle eh?

BUMP! (Cause this probably went unnoticed)

Cause I'm sure the Coders (or whoever handles the SS13 item system) can easily adjust the Kelotane Pill bottle to hold 14 rather than 7 (like Tramadol for example) Pls ;-;

Neutral. It'll be convenient but I'd be concerned if you have to use 14 pills of kelotane.

As it is, I mainly see kelotane being used if someone got hit by a boiler or if a spitter/praetorian aciding them for a good while. Ideally, you can either use the kelotane autoinjectors from looted nanomeds or apply liberal usage of tricordrazine burn kits, and tramadol. You can even get extra kelotane pipls from the nanomeds. And if you don't have something to resupply at, you're going to need more than 7 kelotane pills.
Troublesome, as usual.
