[Feature] Emag Expansion Phase 1 - Cyclical - 09-04-2019
As the Cryptographic Sequencer is one of my favourite items, I thought it was worth exploring more possible uses for it. While this is not all I plan to do with the Emag, and many more changes are in progress, I think the following additions would have a positive impact on the game:
- Flashes can now be sabotaged by using an emag to poke a hole in the back of the flash. When used, these will also flash the user of the device.
- Rocket boots can be Emagged, causing them to always explode when used.
- A flashlight can be emagged, overloading the voltage regulators in the bulb. When used all mobs that are in the cone of vision emanating in the direction the player is looking will be turboflashed and the flashlight will become permanently inoperable (with a fancy animated sprite!)
- Space heaters can be emagged, raising their temperature limit to 400C and boosting the rate at which they heat the surrounding air. Once hacked they cannot be turned off after they are turned on. As well, space heaters can now be wrenched to the floor.
- Microwaves can be emagged to heat food with ionizing radiation, injecting the morsel with 25 units of radium.

Very nice. I'm always saying that the emag needs more good uses ever since the emagged VR pod doesn't work anymore.

flashlights are infinitely printable at general fabricators iirc, and extremely prevalent all over the station in red toolboxes and just lying around. that feature may be a bit busted as a result.
other ones seem great though

Was thinking of adding in burns to the user as well, depending on the severity that would probably be enough to offset the abundance. I was thinking of the flashlight as a hidden "oh shit I'm surrounded get me out of here" type of thing, so a big burn penalty would fit well I think.
