Rearrange the canteens on the Almayer

Post by tuzz » 15 May 2017, 22:14

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): This idea is to move the food vending machines in the canteenss so that more are on the west ends, where most of the marines are at round start.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): This would let people get food faster and make for a lot less shoving at the beginning of the round.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): At round start it can take quite some time to get food out of these two machines since they are stuck behind the smoke machine in the corner. This would make it much easier to get in and out of the canteens.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): This could be done by swapping the locations of the smoke machine and one of the food vendors on the east side of the rooms.

Something as simple as this would be a great improvement, but obviously more could be done to make the machines even more accessible.

+1, but the cigarette vendor shouldn't be in the far end of the canteen where the vendors are. Maybe somewhere else that is accessible to marine, but can't think of specifics right now.

+1, maybe place the cigarette vendor at the pillar/beam at the entrance of the canteen?

+1 put some in between the tables too so youre utilizing the whole room instead of just the east and west corners. battling each other to reach the food vendors is apparently very traumatizing to some people
