Original PR:
https://api.github.com/repos/tgstation/tgstation/pulls/81940About The Pull Request
This PR makes 2 changes, one to the crusher and one to the PKA
Crushers: Their projectile no longer overrides eachother, so a mob can have the blue bubble from several crushers. Triggering it will only trigger the one that you own, so each player has to go hit the mob to strike.
PKA: Fixed the minebot passthrough upgrade, and also adds a human passthrough upgrade. They are incompatible with eachother, so you choose between solo+minebot or coop, which is a compromise I thought as a better alternative to taking mod space (the minebot passthrough currently takes none). This upgrade is available solely at the mining vendor, for 750 points.
Why It's Good For The Game
The new mining has been great, and one thing I love is that it encourages more coop play. Excavating boulders with other miners is much more engaging and has good teamwork in it, and also is a good way to encourage miners to stick together more and even fight megafauna in pairs.
This hopes to make that easier to do, because currently having anyone with a crusher is sort of a detriment to the whole team. Either the PKA dude will accidentally shoot the crusher user while they're going in for a melee kill, or 2 crusher users will be constantly erasing the mark of the other. This will hopefully make that aspect better, and make mining with friends a little better.
Changelog
🆑
balance: Crusher marks no longer overwrite eachother, fauna can have one from each crusher.
balance: Ash drake's crusher trophy no longer affects people the same faction as you (like hiero trophy), so you won't friendly fire people with it.
add: Added a new upgrade: Human Passthrough. You can shoot your PKA without having to worry about friendly fire with this, for 750 mining points at your mining vendor.
fix: Minebot passthrough upgrade now properly makes PKAs pass through minebots.
