Improvements to Oshan and Geothermal
#19
I can safely say this:
Floods in Oshans and Hotspots getting into the station are nothing but.. ANNOYING.

They don't disrupt anything large. Unlike a breach on Nadir wich is a pain to fix and any space station with depressurisation.
In oshan it just becomes: "we're flooded again..." And it takes a while for it to become an actual problem.

THAT SAID.

Zamu said that 1 hotspot is enough to power the station. Okay... that's not the problem.
Setting up the singularity engine is also just turning it on correctly.

The problem with these engines is they are unfufilling. The reason people like the Nuclear Generator and TEG is because you have to manage it and check it to get a great output.
With geothermal and singularity you just set it up and you are done. Can't improve much of it. And that becomes boring.
While engineers are mechanics and fixer upers as well. Since we consildated them to it again....
If you want to work on these engines all shift... you can't. Once setup.. you can't do much anymore. And in oshan it ends up with you roaming around pinning and moving hotspots...and sometimes patching a hole then letting the janitor take care of the rest.

There is a reason Oshan Engineers build a bar or a room next to escape most shifts. Mostly since due to oshan's mechanics it's safer and easier to do.

This is why people want to manage the hotspots better to stay away from the station and want to do more with the engine.

Also why don't we allow a saline generator or something like using the pressure of the oshan as well like a hydro-generator? Something sci-fi like that too on the side.
Having to use the water of the Ocean or the salt to generate power for the station? That way Oshan has 2 two generators.
