No issues with the revamp, engis have been complaining about it for a while, but i did notice you removed the TEG and lava room. Was there a reason for that? |
|
The TEG is something I do not intend to remove, still devising a good way to get it into the area without making that area too much larger to match the feel of the rest of the Station, the lava room however was intentional because I noticed most engis would use that room only for the TEG. And the lava some what just got in the way, for me at least. I was always puzzled why lava was there anyway, for the TEG maybe? If you know I would love to hear. On that note also, with linda on the way this design is going to change for sure and this is going to be the base inspiration, hopefully it wont have to change much, with that though I will be updating the screenshot most often(likely every version update) leaving the video only to show any major redesigns & proofs |

The lava was indeed for the TEG, it provided a easy hot side for the loop. I'll link you some pics people have made in game on discord using it |

The most recent reply in PR discussion from Donald Ham is my discord |
step 1:let rest for & until LINDA is merged step 2: fix all the broken stuff if LINDA is mean step 3: Echo Atmos has been revamped!
|
After playing the TM with LINDA it seems to me only minor tweaks will be required for this to operate correctly. Looking forward to seeing LINDA merged |
About The Pull Request
This is a full redesign of the atmos area on echo station. From the original size it has expanded slightly, with that I aimed to make this work area easily approachable and modifiable without making it excessively large. I also attempted to allow engineers room for their own design and build desires, one way I attempted to encourage this was by making a mostly straight line to connect the Turbine fuel line to the Mixing Tank, while leaving ample room in between to make custom connections.
Why It's Good For The Game
This will allow engineers on echo station to more effectively do their job by opening up the atmos area slightly and redesigning the workflow to allow for a more approachable and enjoyable experience.
Testing Photographs and Procedure

This video is a full walk through of the test build, showing the full room, all computers, along with the fire alarms operation. Some item placements might be different from the screenshot due to changes and fixes along the way. (An infinite cell was placed in the APC for this video otherwise atmos goes dark in a minute or two)
Shows a complete top down view of the Atmos Area, as seen this is a complete revamp of the area, it has become only slightly larger and uses the space more efficiently. Most notable is the noticeable ability for piping projects which were a bit more difficult before. This screenshot reflects push 1.9
