[Taxi] All of the disposals systems are woefully lacking
Created by: Exxion
There are no recyclers. All trash is just launched into space. For some reason, I get great joy from tending to the disposals on Box and selling the honestly rather impressive quantities of recycled materials the recycler spits out.
(Also, the disposals mass drivers on Taxi are totally useless because the disposal outlets are placed incorrectly and launch the trash into space themselves rather than placing it on the mass drivers and allowing them to launch it)
I have three possible solutions:
- The easiest but least interesting:
- Add a recycler to each station. Their disposals systems remain just as individual as they are now, but would be less shitty.
- The middle in both ease to implement and level of coolness, but the most likely to have stuff go horribly wrong:
- Use disposal outlets and/or mass drivers to launch the trash from two stations to the third and put processing machinery only on that one. If things are built in space, though, this could cause issues.
- The coolest but hardest to implement:
- Add a cargo bay to at least one of the taxis. Have trash automatically loaded into this bay while the taxi is docked at two of the stations and automatically unloaded while it's docked at the third. Place processing machinery on the station on which the trash is unloaded. A cargo bay could also be added to the other taxi for another purpose, like mail.
