Make marines unable to slide sandstone fake-walls

Post by Heckenshutze » 08 Dec 2016, 18:17

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Something we were discussing in mchat about making sandstone walls too strong and heavy for a marine to slide it.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Will keep the marines from passing through the Pred's Lodge without a proper breach device.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): 90% of the time, marines don't find the Predator's lodge "by accident". as soon marines notice there are preds they rush to hunt him down, loot his gear and loot his lodge, being the third option the easiest. With this feature, only predators will be able to slide the sandstone fake-walls so they can keep their Lodge safe and hidden (until a marine blows it up).

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): ???
Marine: Ruben Dario

That's actually legit. Normal walls are made of metal sheets, sandstone walls are made of heavy sand bricks.

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-

+1 as it makes sense and would help stop the endless *Insert wall clicking sound here* as marines try to spam walls to find pred hidden doors.

Yes.

Yes please.

The number of times people opening them easily causing a lot of dead characters and stolen stuff, cannot be counted on both hands. And those are the ones I know about.

I'll -1 in its current form. Please do make it a fully new thing instead as I like to build sandstone walls as a survivor. Or balance it somehow. I don't want to be restricted from my fashion autism survival den.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

We could fix this giving survivors a buff regarding other stuff, like more plasteel at LV-624 or something like that, but sambstone fake walls are to a marine a "Click here for predator stuff inside" sign

You don't need to apply the mechanic to the false wall itself, you can add an iteration that acts as a false wall, but requires another step in its construction. Such a thing would allow sandstone false walls and still provide preds with the ability to make their false wall heavier and pred-only.
That's partly why I -1. Plus, survivors can use sandstone to INSTANTLY make false walls, which is REALLY CONVENIENT considering survivors are WEAK AS HELL and UNHARMED in most scenarios... (Xenos are constantly killing survivors or just obliterating them from what I saw in current versions). SO YEA! Anyway.

I agree with this, it seems like a good solution.

Fake walls no longer exist in the game, denied.
