According to Haine in OOC chat, this idea would take a while to implement, but could be pretty cool, so, bear with me.
All around the ship or station, there are toilets, sinks, showers, and other appliances that use water. These are infinite sources of water, which doesn't make sense at all (neither does half of goonstation but shush). So, why not have water pipes, pumping stations, valves, water fountains, drains everywhere, and water spillages?
On the NSS Destiny (LLJK1) there would be two water pumping stations: one near crew quarters and one somewhere in engineering.
On Cogmap2 (LLJK2) there would be 2 pumping stations: One in QM and one in maintenance near the top of the station.
These would be 2x2 machines that are connected to the water pipelines, and they'd melt ice, pump water, and condense waste into blocks of garbage (I'd love to work on some sprites, but, only if the idea is widely accepted. Also I have barely ever sprited...) Miners would take ice from comets and put it into the pumping stations, which will melt the ice and store the water into holding tanks.
Water would then be pumped around the station through the (hopefully intact) water pipes. Then, once it goes through an appliance and is used, it's pumped back into the sewage line (the white water and blackwater lines would be on the same tile and would be the same item, but the pipes would be separate in contents and their sprites), where it would then be taken into a pumping station and filtered, dumping out the blocks of trash into either a disposal pipe or onto a special part of the floor for janitors to put into crates or somewhere to be disposed of.
Also, explosions would be a *bit* more annoying to clean up, as water pipes would spill their contents; the water and the shit; everywhere, making a massive, horrible smelling, slippery mess. Of course, the water pipes would quickly freeze over in space, preventing more spillage. Of course, some basic water pressure would exist, so these blockages would cause water pressure to increase and eventually pipes would burst nearby. There would also be emergency release valves dotted everywhere under the floors, so one could release pressure into other lines or emergency holding tanks.
Please, feedback? I would add onto this idea, and also take away from it, and likely both.
