Ghetto construction

[maxiumattack]

Here are some alternative assemblies that would be great to have in-game.(Note every thing I am suggesting should have a fairly high chance of going horribly wrong and harming the user)

First up are some sketchy chemistry machines.

A transfer device kind of like the chemicompiler for crudely mixing dangerous things.

The catch is that you have no control of amount mixed it will only mix in a set number of units and it is prone to breaking down and wasting all the chems you put in it.
To build
2 fuel tanks + tank transfer valve + air tank + arcade circuit board
Add the fuel tanks to the transfer valve then air tank and lastly circuit board.

A heater

As with everything its drawback is that it can only heat and will do so very quickly at the cost of exploding/breaking if it reaches above 500-600k.
To build
pipe frame + igniter + cable coil + analyzer + beaker
Add igniter to pipe frame then wire it attach the analyzer and finnaly add the beaker.

A pill press

Similar to how a chemmaster makes pills the press will only make 15u pills and has a chance of smashing the pill and losing the chemicals inside.
To build
hollow pipe frame + spoon + scrap metal/shrapnel + shotglass
Add spoon to hollow pipe frame then attach the scrap/ shrapnel and finally shot glass.

Improvised weapons

I am not really sure what to call this but it should be able to shoot tiny-small items in addition to grenades(grenades are at risk of going off inside of the thing).

To build
2 hollow pipe frames + fire extinguisher + air tank + cable coil + fork + igniter
Attach the hollow pipe frames together then add the fire extuinguisher, air tank, cable coil, fork and lastly igniter.

taser(kinda)

The taser has a really high chance to shock you and only has 3 charges.
To build
fork + cable coil + battery
Wire up the fork and attach a battery.

Jani-Bow

Shoots rods for arrows but only causes very small bleeding and maybe a tiny bit of brute.
To build
mop + wire cutters + cable coil + stapler
Use the wire cutters on the mop then add cable coil and staple to secure it.

Last Note: Some of the already have counter parts in-game aleady but these are mostly for flavor.

Holy Fuck this is awesome.

[Amelorate]

I think the chemical transfer device and heater are already a thing.

Sounds similar to the Rock-It Launcher from Fallout.

there actually is a Rock-It Launcher somewhere in game, i don't remember if you can find it or if it's admin spawn only though

these are all p baller ideas

[Sundance]

The rocket launcher is located in the depths of the martian base. It's kinda useless tbh, you can only load 1 item at a time, so there's no functional difference between it and throwing something.

Really? I could've sworn you could load in like 7 items at once.
Which would make it useful for at least a few things, like launching drinking glasses that have some sort of splash-based payload, like cryostylane or itching powder.

[UrsulaMejor]

you can load it with 7 items.

I like filling it with basketballs.

also these ideas are A+

[Walrus]

Pill press and hobo taser seem really cool. These are great.

[rulib]

Cobbled together assemblies are the true spirit of SS13, I love all these and more. Still want the syringe-watering can assembly (a big syringe)

[APARTHEID]

I really like the idea of a bow and arrow just because it'd give a bit of extra purpose to the invariable amount of rods left over from broken windows.

There was a previous thread ages ago that was made in this vein; I think rod spears were one other type of construction?

[APARTHEID]

(In addition, this cobbled-together taser is so destructive that it'll arc past your insulated gloves and knock you on your ass.)

I actually intended for the taser to have a small chance of stunning and setting you on fire.

[RAWK_LAWBSTAR]

Ghetto cobbled together crap is the best.

We need a ghetto jetpack though.

Two fire extinguishers lashed together with a couple pieces of cable with a screwdriver and a multitool lashed on as a control.
