Improvements to Oshan and Geothermal

[Lord_earthfire]

Lastly, a QoL that would be really nice for geothermal would be dousing rods ignoring any pinned hotspots when giving a readout and multiple hotspots are in the area. or ignoring two and always pointing to the nearest one. They become mostly useless if two are within its scan radius or require you to run around and find the edge of one and then walk it in. 

Ignoring pinned hotspots would kill most methods of hotspot stacking. I would like for them to be able to only show the nearest one, though.

In general, im not a fan of the other suggestions. They simply dance around the issue rather than try to solve it.

The issue is too many roundstart-active hotspots on station side that overwhelm engineering.

That's why i have a simple suggestion:

Pin any hotspot on roundstart whose center is on a station tile.

This way, the only active hotspots on station will be ones that were near the station and wandered into it. Or ones delocated by antags.

This means that engineering will have to handle much fewer hotspots at a time. And neither antags nor engineers are hampered by the mechanics. Lastly, why would BT build the damn station and not pin the hotspots at the construction side???
