Going For Gold (and silver, diamonds and uranium)

Nice. So there there's no reason for this not to be added?

Besides the arguably illogical admin opinions about things being imbalanced/not according to lore? Nope.

We're off topic here gents. I'd fully support having to requisition ores for use in Research due to the fact that some of the more useful items require the material. Also, that surgery step detector thing would be so incredibly useful that I would love to see some spawn in medical. But I digress.

I give giving Requisitions access to purchase crates of ore for Research a +1.

It's very likely that Research is gonna get a massive overhaul or be removed completely from the game in the next map. Hopefully not, but you never know. Fighting mechs (like the exosuit from alien universe) being introduced to give marines more of a fighting chance seems to be popular though, and hopefully implemented through research & development.

Letting the Requisitions officer call in resources would also be useful if the surgeons can get Incision Management Systems, which ARE Canon in the same way that auto-doc thing in Prometheus is cannon.

I tested it on my test server. This code works. Forgot /mineral on the code in OP

Code: Select all

/datum/supply_packs/silver50
   name = "50 silver ingots"
   contains = list(/obj/item/stack/sheet/mineral/silver)
   amount = 50
   cost = 10
   containertype = /obj/structure/closet/crate
   containername = "Silver ingot crate"
   group = "Engineering"

/datum/supply_packs/gold50
   name = "50 gold ingots"
   contains = list(/obj/item/stack/sheet/mineral/gold)
   amount = 50
   cost = 10
   containertype = /obj/structure/closet/crate
   containername = "Gold ingot crate"
   group = "Engineering"

/datum/supply_packs/diamond50
   name = "50 diamonds"
   contains = list(/obj/item/stack/sheet/mineral/diamond)
   amount = 50
   cost = 10
   containertype = /obj/structure/closet/crate
   containername = "Diamond crate"
   group = "Engineering"

/datum/supply_packs/uranium50
   name = "50 uranium sheets"
   contains = list(/obj/item/stack/sheet/mineral/uranium)
   amount = 50
   cost = 10
   containertype = /obj/structure/closet/crate
   containername = "Uranium sheet crate"
   group = "Engineering"

Denied.

Even if you had the materials, you'd be able to do nothing with them, except stack them up. We have plans for an eventualy science re-write, but for now, there's no reason for advanced materials.
