New Janitor chem: Space Polish - Dhaidburt - 11-19-2023 Fellow janitors.. how do you spend your free time during shifts? The early minutes where nothing is dirty, or the entire shift during a particularly uneventful day? Maybe get a drink, clean up maint... hope something happens and you're needed. Nope, security removed the Funny Table™ and everyone is... drinking responsibly?! You need something to DO! Introducing: SPACE POLISH! A chemical that's easy to make (on the same level as space cleaner) which allows you to polish shoes, make shiny things EVEN SHINIER, and most importantly polish floors. Polished floors do nothing during the round, beyond being the examine text saying "This is clean enough to eat off of!" No, what polished floors do is improve the cleanliness score and allow it to exceed 100%. Gaze in awe as your janitor somehow managed to make the station 200% clean! Only the first 100% effects station grade, everything else is for fun. You can spray it out in bottle form, or use the Buff-r-Matic to polish as you go! You can also team up with science to do some shenanigans with foam and space polish! Tiles can be dirtied and require being polished again, but thankfully normal floor usage can't unpolish a floor. Final note: I don't think that janitors should have access to Space Polish in their offices, or at least not enough to polish up the majority of a station. If you're bored, medbay or science may be bored too. RE: New Janitor chem: Space Polish - Fuppy - 11-20-2023 I'm on board with this premise, as long as the polished floors themselves aren't an eyesore with sparkles and stuff. I wouldn't really know how to distinguish a polished floor besides the flavortext you mentioned. making it reflective maybe? I'm not sure how much of a nightmare that'd be to implement. with all of this said I enjoy my downtime as a janitor quite a bit, on RP at least. so I do like this idea being totally optional for if you're super bored.

Good point, even if it's just for fun you'd probably want some visible way of telling that you didn't miss a spot. Maybe the tiles would become.. slightly brighter? Not enough to be blinding, but enough to tell if the tile next to it would be a different color. Or, if it'd be easier, apply basically a very faint yellow tint to the tiles like paint. RE: New Janitor chem: Space Polish - Kotlol - 11-27-2023 I would love the captain go: The inspector is coming! I want this place to be brand spanking shiny new! And janitors are suddenly hassled to do their job perfectly with polish. If anything it adds a new level to making stuff. |
