PORT: BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet#2432
BUT I CHANGED IT

General Documentation

Intent of your Pull Request

Adds the AtmosBot! A robot designed to BLOW ITSELF UP OVER ANY HOLES IN THE FLOOR

BEHOLD MY CODERSPRITE

Simple recipe: robot arm, smartmetal grenade, prox sensor, analyzer

When emagged, it'll fucking explode instead of spewing foam

Why is this change good for the game?

Variety is the spice of life. Also, suicide foam bot work better

Wiki Documentation

The recipe is cyborg arm onto analyzer, then grenade onto that assembly, then prox sensor onto that.

Briefly describe your PR and the impacts of it, in layman's terms.

Roboticists will need an updated wiki page to reflect the new robot

What should players be aware of when it comes to the changes your PR is implementing?

see above

What general grouping does this PR fall under?

Are there any aspects of the PR that you would like us not to mention on the Wiki?

If there are any numerical values involved in your PR that will be relevant to a player, please note them here.

Each bot can only deploy (1) holofan, and will stay near the holofan until the breach is repaired.

rscadd: Ported the Atmosbot from Beestation! Modified for Yogurt station, these robots are foam grenades with legs and will seal breaches or die trying
/:cl:

These seem quite ridiculously strong for Yogs, IMO; I think they fit Bee more, since over there it's a genuine possibility that nobody knows how to un-fuck Atmos - but here, we usually have at least someone able to fix a breach.
EDIT: Also, what's to stop Cargo Techs from using an EMagged Atmosbot in Yet Another Miasma Farm Setup? Might wanna replace that with a deadlier gas (BZ maybe? Though that could also be abused by Atmos) rather than a mild inconvenience.

Nah, they aren't super strong. Remember, each bot can only deploy one holofan so you need at minimum four to seal a 1x1 breach. And while sealing breaches they'll be unable to refill rooms. The miasma farm emagged bot is an interesting idea, but gas exports were nerfed after everyone in their mother did one. In addition, emags are contraband and technically weapons under the new space law, so if security hands one over to cargo then admins gonna get salty.

Less work that atmos can do, therefor less reason to play the role if your not planning on doing autism projects in atmos.

[UselessTheremin]

these sprites are really gross

when the fuck does atmos repair breaches anyways, its always engineering

these sprites are really gross

[maxion12345]

anyways, these bots aren't meant to replace the job of atmos techs. They don't fix breaches, they can't undo plasmafires, and you need a bunch of them to handle any breaches bigger than a 1x1. Just a neat robot that works together with other robots to accomplish a bigger task

[Cartlord]

They can kind-of undo a fire on their own though, just takes a while. They scrub the bad fire gas and stabilize temperature.

[nesisknesis]

yea

also original author's name here so they get credited in the changelog

Emags are tools, not wewpons.

aha, but you can emag a preternis to disable them, thusly making them a weapon under the new space law

I am telling you they're tools.

[maxion12345]

ah fuck I hit the wrong button

[JamieD1]

Feels extremely overpowered @SomeguyManperson

[Bibby0110]

Didn't look through the rest honk

[maxion12345]

I changed the two "time =" i found to the SECONDS format. Crafting time has been increased to six seconds to be in line with other "complex" bots (ED209, Securitron). For reference, the other bots are 4 seconds. If you guys think its too overpowered, we can change it just to seal breaches, seeing as with monstermos the vents can do most of the work refilling a room.

[maxion12345]

@JamieD1 this gonna get testmerged?

[maxion12345]

These bots are just a neat addition to the game, even if they don't really do much. I wonder if I can make some voice lines for them.

[maxion12345]

notes so far:
they work pretty well, and can be mass produced easily.

thats when they actually can reach the breach, sometimes they just stop for no reason mid-movement and refuse to take another step. thinking maybe of making a smart metal grenade bot that is a single-use suicide bomber on wheels that is crafted with a scooter, proximity sensor, and a smart metal grenade, that just wheels itself to the breach then blows itself up to foam it

[JamieD1]

@maxion12345 can you make them cover a breach with barriers? right now they place one barrier then give up..

[maxion12345]

@JamieD1
new suicide bot with codersprite is completed

[adamsong]

Check linter please

[maxion12345]

Check linter please

linter is green now

[maxion12345]

after 2 months in development i hope its been worth the wait

[JamieD1]

Will testmerge and see if its not shit.

[Bibby0110]

I don’t think it needs to be called an ASSBot

[maxion12345]

I don’t think it needs to be called an ASSBot

because its funny
