Spent casings can be turned into metal

Post by Crab_Spider » 24 Mar 2017, 12:39

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Inserting spent bullet casings into an autolathe turns them into metal.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Reduces lag
More incentive to clean
Less clutter in rooms

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Per summary

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

No one will do this because you can already use other methods to make metal that aren't as tedious, time consuming, and frustrating to do. Casings are small sprites to click on (and alt clicking every tile with casings on it would be a pain), and would probably give negligible gains when you could use service pistols / SMG's / shotgun shells for more metal.

If you can use the trash bag to gather all casings on a turf and dump them all at once in the autlathe, it could work.

Picturing this is frankly ridiculous and if this was ever implemented nobody would ever use it. Marines don't even bother sending back empty mags on the rasp so something even more minor like this just seems even more tedious and less useful.

It's just to reduce lag.

In that case there needs to be a janitor, or better yet, being assigned Janitor should be a punishment, as to quote one famous Drill Sargent I heard: "There are a lot of openings in the Custodial Department, where you can CLEAN UP YOUR SHIT PERFORMANCE!"
LCpl. Raul Garrison: That nobody with a gun
Dr. Arthur Bennet: The guy you plead to fix you
Lt. Elizabeth Owens: The lady who won't stop badgering.
