The Supermatter Engine needs to become a LOT more risky if the Engineers can't build a fucking cooling loop

Created by: dylanstrategie

Following the discovery of yet another exploit that allows you to contain a delaminating shard with zero risk, I've come to the personal conclusion that the SME is the most babby-tier engine in the game, surpassing even the AME, which can actually explode if you are retarded, unlike the shard

Current methods to completely neutralize a delaminating shard at any stage and with any level of setup fuck-up include :

  • Literally dragging it away into space. Cyborgs are taking zero risks, Engineers will be badly radiated but will make it
  • Spacing the tile under the shard with a RCD. Takes five seconds and can be done by an Engiborg
  • Putting it back into its crate. It's a thing now, and it works without a hitch

This turns the Supermatter Shard into a zero-risk engine as long as there is a Cyborg anywhere on the station, as he can rush to space or RCD the shard. And with the new exploit, literally ANYONE can run up to the shard and dump it back into its box before radiation can even collapse them once

Meanwhile :

  • The Solars need actual effort to set up and only power part of the station
  • The Singularity will murder everyone if the Engineers setting it up are incapable of reading an instructions list
  • The AME can also power only part of the station, and explode very badly if the Engineers are dumb
  • The TEG now needs good enough Atmos knowledge, or it'll jam, no more ez pz burn chamber space cooling loop setup
  • The RUST takes forever to set up

It's high time to stop enabling shitty Engineers. If you are incapable of building a loop that siphons all air in the chamber, cools it, filters the plasma and re-injects it, you don't deserve to set up this engine

Potential ideas to fix this shit :

  • Trying to drag a delaminating shard will EMP borgs, emancipate human hands and delaminate other mobs
  • The shard will keep delaminating at its current temperature if spaced, and will only cool if there's literally any air to do so, as it should
  • Delaminating shards can't be put in containers, including crates and potentially other things like mech clamps, or will keep delaminating if they are

Done, now are we going to enable shit Engineering, or have the Engineers set up the Solars or the Singularity as they used to if they were shit at everything like a year back ?
