[PR] Gravity and Gravity Tethers
#1

PULL REQUEST DETAILS




[feature][station systems][experimental]

About the PR

Gravity is now variable, ranging from 0 to infinity. Gravity Tethers can be used to provide gravity to one or more areas, and stations have a station-wide tether to do so. Local-area tethers and G-force scanners can be printed from the Engineering fabricator. Note: Tethers cannot remove gravity, only increase it.

To move around without drifting in low/zero-G, you'll want to make sure you have **traction** against the ground, or **grip** against a nearby large object, like walls, tables, or manufacturers.

Gravity will affect many things in ways you'd expect:
* Throwing/kinetic projectile distance
* Low gravity brings nausea and disorients you slightly unless you wear space gear. At zero gravity, you drift away.
* Higher gravity slows you down and yanks stuff out of your hands. At extreme gravity, you'll start taking direct injury.

Why's this needed?

More station systems to disable that drastically affect the round without being insurmountable to overcome. (i.e. the entire station shouldn't immediately want to call the shuttle when this is broken)

(*)Station-wide Gravity Tethers provide gravity to space stations/ships. More details in minor notes.
(*)(TESTMERGE) Post gameplay feedback in <a target="_blank" href="https://forum.ss13.co/showthread.php?tid=24832">the thread here</a>: https://forum.ss13.co/showthread.php?tid=24832
(+)Low and zero gravity causes nausea and disorientation unless you wear space gear.
(+)High and extreme gravity causes sluggishness and injury.
(+)Local-Area Gravity Tethers and Gravity Scanners can be printed in Engineering fabricators.
(+)Station-wide Gravity Tethers can be printed by a disk in the CE locker, or from Cargo.
(+)A-zones always have gravity. Some debris/asteroid field areas have localized gravity tethers.
