A New Gas - Helium

[InquisitorL]

I propose a new type of gas for the engine and just general station use. It would give the engineers something else to experiment with and make a fine cooling agent. I have already coded this in 4407. If there is any interest I will also code in Marquesa's idea: make it so that inhaling helium that has been released causes you talk in a higher pitch (i.e. replace the vowels in words with i's). I don't know what the current fart or scream code looks like so the job of making higher-pitched farts and screams would be up to the coders.

Really Dumb Suggestion
- Make it so someone wearing the clown uniform can use it to inflate himself, twist himself into a balloon animal, and then die. (Alternatively just have him inflate and gib.) This would be a custom suicide.

Here is a sprite I repainted for the canister.

You know what? There should also be a cannister for almost every gas/element that can be dispensed in chemistry. And the option to attach 3 or 4 cannisters so you can power the engine with reactions like space drugs or thalmerite.

I like it.

It would be kind of neat if there was a way to add chemicals to the gas process, with a variety of side effects, such as turning the pipes into a neurotoxin delivery system, or causing the pressure in the engine to go waaay up because you added some vodka and some liquid oxygen or something.

Helium could be a fun element though, in terms of squeeky voices everywhere.

As cool as this sounds, the reagent and the gas system are two very distinct systems, not to mention introducing 100+ new gases would place a lot of load on the already bulky atmos.
