ALPHA Improve Atmospherics

[HalfdeadKiller]

CM Version (alpha or Regular): Alpha

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Some fixes to help improve atmoshperics functionality.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Well, there are specific situations that it would help with, but as someone who plays engineer a bunch, it bothers me.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Atmospherics filter system should be a loop, filtering out O2, N2, N2O, CO2, and Phoron, and then pumping into a waste tank. Currently, the filter system only filters out N2O, Phoron, and CO2, then it puts the rest into a holding tank. Also, there is no way to refill Phoron Canisters if they become empty. At least, not as easy as compared to a normal station's atmospherics room. Nor is there a way to put the Oxygen filtered through the filter loop, back into the main O2 tank. Same for N2.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Map Editing

Really this suggestion sells itself. Atmospherics and engineering need a major overhaul. +1

Yeah.... I agree on this one, and it'd be nice to have a way to fill a canister of co2, for the SM engine. Stuffs a fucking super coolant.

[Surrealistik]

Phoron is by far the best coolant.

There are ways to reconfigure the atmos set up such that you can do pretty much anything, but it takes quite a lot of time.

The most needed thing is definitely a cooling loop that's separate from the SM engine, as well as output ports for the atmos gas reservoirs, but a better filtration system for the SME waste loop would also be appreciated.

In baystation 12 they had it so that the massive circular atmospherics look actually fed its outputs to some canister pads. You could set atmospherics to release a pure or mixed gas into the canisters. So basically you could pull nitrogen or CO2 out of atmospherics to refill canisters.
