What do other stations have that we don't?

Better atmos

How so? Does it let you repressurize rooms in a timely manner? And why so? I think I've read that it has something to do with our tick rate being really high (to cut down on sluggishness) which limits how much BYOND shit out can do per second? I'm really interested in how all this eldritch bastardry works.

you can also depressurise rooms in a timely manner, and the atmos guy gets a fire axe that one-shot-crits people.

they also have stuff like:
-non-humans for people that like to get murdered For No Raisin (if you go to the subreddit you'll get mentions of "Liggers" every now and then, rarely has so much been said of the tg station pubbies in so few words)

-botanists have pod people for cloning, a machine that takes plant resources similarly to the fertiliser tank and makes eg backpacks and utility belts, and a special vending machine fridge to shove all your produce into (they don't have differently-named plants based on potency like us so it becomes a godsend for the chef)

-science has R&D (apart from taking up most of our current electrician mechanic's role it lets you research newer fancier guns without having to go out into space looking for them) and xenobiology (a great spot for feeding annoying assistants and traitor targets to critters and then harvesting the critters for random mutagens and goodies)

-radio traffic is controlled via 4-5 machines in a small room accessed by the RD, so it provides a way to break communications if you're so inclined.

-mining has a cool refinery room for mass-refining steel sheets etc, works similarly to our portable machine (excluding eg needing plasma for reinforced metal) but it's still great watching the stuff go around on a conveyor


they also have AI that thinks there's nothing wrong with bolting access to EVA, the teleporter room and the AI rooms at the start of the round and never opening them for any reason at all even if multiple heads demand access
