I sent a bomb down a mail chute towards Electronics. Of course, without knowing how long it would take, I decided to detonate it on a guess. It exploded in the pipe, there was some big-ass lag, but nowhere along the Electronics mail line was there any explosive damage.
Just to test if bombs fucked up once in mail chutes, I put a bomb and the helmet camera in and watched it go to the kitchen, where it blew up just fine. Bombs do nothing when in pipes.

Isn't this because mailchute/disposal pipes are treated as separate z-levels?
Once I blew up a bomb in a disposal pipe, went down said disposal pipe only to get stuck because the pipes were missing from the blast. There was no damage above it.

I once got stuck in a disposal pipe with a braindead guy. No one helped so i blew my self up with a syndicate bomb, the explosion knocked me and the other guy out alive leaving the place in ruins like a normal bomb.

The fact that you got out alive and not in chunks is the most confusing part..

In testing for cogmap we blew up the AI a few times by disposaling a bomb, it worked then and afaik nothing's been changed. Bit weird.

Well they did make it so syndies aren't considered off the station Z-level when in pipes. Other than that though, idk.

Yeah, quite a few of the disposal layouts are designed with bombs in mind. I tested them a lot to see where I would get launched out if I set off a pipebomb or a bigbomb in my hands after flushing myself down a pipe.
If that's not working now, weird.

After a bunch of testing I am not seeing any problems at all, bombs are going off inside pipes just fine from what I see.
Are you sure you didn't just mail a dud?

100%, man. Same mix as my other bombs which did work that round, and it did create a tonne of lag when I hit the button. I'm fairly confused.

I can report the same problem, sent two bombs to engineering and genetics just there, on 15 and 30 second timers, and neither of them ever went off anywhere.

Did you send it to the wrong place?

I definitely sent it to Electronics.

There are occasional problems with things being inside other things - it's not unheard of that a bomb in a pipe doesn't destroy anything. I haven't noticed any kind of pattern, though.
