Not sure if this goes here, but it's blood-related, so it probably goes here.
Slipping on blood has been reintroduced, and I am VERY iffy on whether or not it's a good thing. On the one hand, it encourages the Janitor to do their damn jobs instead of driving around on the floor buffer, but on the other hand, this makes the station borderline impassable if no resources to get rid of the stuff are readily available. But the main problem I have with blood on the ground is that it does not go away unless cleaned up. Wet floors eventually dry out, but blood seems to magically remain slip-slidey wet regardless of whether or not it was spilled just a few seconds ago or an hour ago, and not only does that make absolutely no goddamn sense, but it makes dealing with it a pain in the ass. Furthermore, this makes any idiot who knows how to make a foam the most dangerous threat to the ability to get around the station, because due to the wonder of blood foam, it is very possible to cover literally the entire goddamn station in slippery-as-hell blood in the span of maybe about ten minutes of uninterrupted work. Of course, this isn't an ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE thing to deal with, but as has been shown round and round again, not many people give a damn about the cleanliness of their workspace, and fewer people give a damn about the Janitor's efforts to clean their workspace.
In short: I may end up being contradicted in the future, but I have a bad feeling that this slippery blood business will only lead to bad and frustrating things with little positive impact in proportion.
