[coral sun]

thx

[silk basin]

cool

except where

oh ok

[pliant elbow]

im doing it

[silk basin]

however i think this is useless

[faint rose]

Can you not post the link?

[silk basin]

its a division thats still wip so theres no telling whats in this document that hasnt already been confirmed or denied

[faint rose]

Fair

[pliant elbow]

just suggestions?

[terse thorn]

bro is the grinch of AED

[silk basin]

😈

[pliant elbow]

yes

[faint rose]

To be fair, spitballing ideas (even if they are or are not confirmed) is still a good thing to do

[pliant elbow]

Exactly

[opal pawn]

Corpsii has the AED role so most likely will be becoming a division in the future

[pliant elbow]

Same with Chairman

[silk basin]

yes. still not out yet, so its being worked on

[opal pawn]

yes, that's what the suggestions are for

[silk basin]

ok

[pliant elbow]

I think the resource updates are probably the first steps of AED's release

[silk basin]

ayo

[opal pawn]

bro

[pliant elbow]

?

[terse thorn]

Nah

[pliant elbow]

yes, i see what you said

[tall crown]

lol

look who became sc

and look who became not sc

[opal pawn]

smh

loser fr

[terse thorn]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[tall crown]

frfr

[pliant elbow]

feel free to suggest more, the docs will be in my about me

[proud linden]

@pliant elbow u should be uoc of aed 😉

[hollow cedar]

It takes 2 years to become to????

[blissful trench]

Not surprised the dude from aed made aed doc

[quick swallow]

Bro seriously wants to he leader of a division lol

But yes good idea

[terse whale]

nah but

have fun getting it added

😩

[pliant elbow]

I'm not "from aed" Mr diabetes

[fresh perch]

@pliant elbow i also think another good suggestion, AED would have to repair the vent on chairman tower, is raiders open it.

If it isn’t repaired the vent stays open until repaired

[pliant elbow]

Oh yeah, I had that in mind when the blowtorch was mentioned

I didn't write it down, but it sounds much more logical now

I'm guessing it's currently something like a 2 minute timer?

[analog flax]

I can't give reactions because you deleted the original message

Smh

[opal pawn]

smh

[gaunt drum]

its like 10 seconds

[pliant elbow]

aegis bots don't like Google docs links

[fathom schooner]

@old sluice start drawing

[old sluice]

ok

[fathom schooner]

[broken bone]

I think an L3 keycard would be appropriate

for tower access and easy traversal of the facility

L2 is restrictive

L4 is a bit overkill unless its a modified L4 (kinda like ARD L4 that's heavily nerfed)

L3 seems like the sweetspot

[opal pawn]

agreed

no reason for l4, they have no need for tower

[broken bone]

Tower is L3

tower isnt required

but tower lets them quickly drop to warehouse

which is a godsend when youre fighting a raid

[pliant elbow]

Yes

And L-2 lets you go tower through engineering

[broken bone]

yeah but it ONLY lets you do that

thats why i said its kinda restrictive since it reduces paths

and L4 is overkill

so L3

[pliant elbow]

I think something like ARD
minus the labs
and change the ARD access to AED access

[broken bone]

Or like

make a common card for

Scientific and engineering personnel

and make the lab equipment run by

some other system

like grouplocking to ARD + wasteland

[pliant elbow]

I think custom AED keycard is fine

[broken bone]

worls

[pliant elbow]

what I wrote on the last page

[broken bone]

mm

I want tower added to it

and it changed to say L

3

because

believe it or not

3>2

[pliant elbow]

And if AED are doing stuff with reactor, then they should get reactor access

[broken bone]

and therefore its just

better

reactor will most likely stay with ARD

[pliant elbow]

Yeah, since AED is to do with the site, L3 at least

[broken bone]

but there will be

[pliant elbow]

yes

[broken bone]

like

significant overlap

in engg district and reactor areas

Labs... not really

tbh irl

when scientists design an experiment

its the engineers who actually build it

then let the scientists do their research on it

or its a collab

scientists rarely go solo

like, CERN was designed by some brilliant scientists

[pliant elbow]

I agree, but I don't think AED should/will have duties with experiments

[broken bone]

i dont expect it

i was pointing it out but yeah

experiments and research should be ARD exclusive

[pliant elbow]

Yep

[broken bone]

thats their thing

[pliant elbow]

AED should just be a custom card with L3 stuff and their needed areas

[broken bone]

mayyyybe we could have a thing where we can assist clearing raiders in labs

if they request it

but thats it

and that can be done by UOC later

it doesnt need to be developed it can be added to guidelines

[pliant elbow]

that's more a combative division thing

[broken bone]

SC does it too

so like

meh

idrm either way

[pliant elbow]

SC does duties in labs anyways

[broken bone]

meh

L3

Tower

engg dist

oh and

I believe

volcano was going to be an AED + ARD thing

where if they fucked up

the map goes kablooie

[pliant elbow]

I agree with the keycard things you just said

[broken bone]

that was the original plan anyway

[pliant elbow]

and I think the volcano needs more attention

[broken bone]

volcano was abandoned bro

😢

its just sitting there

[pliant elbow]

research or harnessing the power of the volcano could be done

[broken bone]

so much potential

[pliant elbow]

exactly

[broken bone]

yeah the uhm

the pipes right

so in the lore department

we asked about it

and the canon lore is

that the entire wasteland and border

is inside a crater

the current volcano is smaller

and the rest is solidified

ARD and AED installed a cooling system

in the volcano

to keep it calm

and they must maintain it

or it might erupt

[pliant elbow]

Volcano management would be very cool for ARD/AED

[broken bone]

mhm

if you look at the volcano rn

theres pipes going to the overlook

[pliant elbow]

research and experiments involving volcano could be done by ARD

[broken bone]

and going out

they were meant for that gameplay

but it never happened

[pliant elbow]

you think the volcano should be radiable, as some kind of secondary meltdown?

or maybe a regional meltdown

[broken bone]

according to a dev question that was the original intent of the chairman

he just never finished implementing it

[pliant elbow]

sad

[broken bone]

and no it was gonna be like

a full on

[pliant elbow]

it should be picked up on

[broken bone]

fucking

eruption

it would actually make blackouts dangerous

since

[pliant elbow]

cool, but it should be different to meltdown

[broken bone]

if the cooling system stays powered off

for too long

😱

[pliant elbow]

sounds good

blackouts are just a visual thing

i mean, no shield

[broken bone]

for now

but yeah this could make them more important

[pliant elbow]

exactly

[broken bone]

AED is also going to get diesel gens iirc

where we can do backup power

but even then

it shouldnt supplement reactor

instead

it should slow down the eruption until the reactor gets turned back on

[pliant elbow]

in that case, it shouldn't be raidable

if raiders want an eruption, they should make the site go into blackout and cut off fedorite supplies until the volcano cooling dies

instead of camping volcano coolants or something like that - similar to reactor

[broken bone]

Yea mhm basically blackout until the rumbling gets goin

VTOL might factor into that though

It makes it relatively easy to get ore now

So they’ll prob need to camp inside

[broken bone]

There should still be something they can do there

Maybe a “primary loop” that’s always on and “secondary loops” that can be turned on to cool it faster but drain more fuel.

[pliant elbow]

if volcano eruptions become a big event
big factions could organise eruptions instead of it being an ordinary thing

[broken bone]

And the raiders can camp controls and keep secondary loops off

Yeah originally it was gonna be like

A half hour long or sumn

Proper event

Not just pop and back to normal

Like meltdown

[pliant elbow]

yeah

and i think meltdown should have more effects for the after

which is what i wrote in the document

Page 3: https://prnt.sc/VBB_4kwTUaCd

[pliant elbow]

currently, meltdowns are considered to be somewhat an ordinary daily border thing

and if volcano eruptions become a thing, it shouldn't be an easy thing or a little thing

and it should be worth it, else raiders will just want to meltdown instead

AED Proposals (pinned)

[south bane]

Ya sure add it to the game

Good suggestion why not

[pliant elbow]

good to hear

[terse thorn]

?

[opal pawn]

dang this is pretty cool

maybe not the gun attachments

because pretty sure scopes have been said they wont be a thing

or just gun attachments in general

but everything is good

thank ya

all g :)

also I like the sound of the chernoybyl liquidator hazard suit idea

[coral sun]

how would AED patrols be like

[pliant elbow]

I'm assuming you're referring to the suggested "Resource Runs"?

If so, an AED would go out into the wasteland to extract resources for the site and come back with them

They could organise a team with combative divisions and other AED

[broken bone]

ARD already does this

I dont see why it needs to be that different

run out

get shit

run back

Interms of patrols

They could be organised later

The thing is, not even ARD had patrols until like, there was a reason for them to go out regularly (ore runs)

If AED has proper wasteland gameplay (maybe something related to the radio tower and stopping the PKSF virus 👀 then yeah patrols.

Otherwise, there’s no reason for them to go out. They’ll be kind of like SC with a bit more freedom

[pliant elbow]

PKSF Virus should be ARD thing as in lore they are PKSF crestors

[broken bone]

Yeahhhh

Welll then again

ARD made dews

But AED can still try to modify them

ARD made reactor but AED still maintains coolant and stuff

[pliant elbow]

AED should collect the resources that were recently added

[broken bone]

Well

Interns of resources

[pliant elbow]

Because its likely they would be an AED thing

[broken bone]

That depends on what the chairman think- wait

Wait

So

There was this thing about generators

[pliant elbow]

AED crafting

[broken bone]

Backup gens that AED runs

This was a thing

I’m pretty sure chairman was included in that convo as well

AED gettin resources to run the gens?

Should be a decent reason to head out

[pliant elbow]

Yeah

[broken bone]

And how about

If we want some spicy gameplay

[pliant elbow]

AED getting resources to craft armour plates

[broken bone]

AED needs to extract oil from the ground

They do it using these

Portable wells

They drop the well

It deploys

[pliant elbow]

Idk if oil is a DoD thing

[broken bone]

Extracts oil

And then you need to run back

It can be I don’t see why not

The lore could be that

[pliant elbow]

Maybe oil ran out?

[broken bone]

permanent wells were at risk of getting pillaged

So AED and ARD developed portable systems

You’ll need to go out

Setup the well

Guard it while it sucks the oil

And then get everything back

[pliant elbow]

I like the sound of that, but I still don't think oil is a DoD thing

[broken bone]

Coal? The issue with coal is

Well

[pliant elbow]

I think it became useless when fedorite was found

[broken bone]

Backups are never useless though

This oil is specifically to fuel the backup generators

Incase the reactor fails

OOOOH this could be a meltdown side effect

The reactor is out of commission for X minutes or sumn

[pliant elbow]

Yes, but Im sure DoD isn't in an oil rich area

[broken bone]

DoD is a game where you literally mine diamonds at surface level with a pickaxe

It’s fine

[opal pawn]

lol

[fathom schooner]

i mean

idk the lore but

there was a war literally name

the recourse war

so idk i wouldnt expect oil to be lying around

[pliant elbow]

yes, and i swear the border's in london or something

[fathom schooner]

its in uk

[pliant elbow]

yes

i dont think uk is full of oil

[faint rose]

It’s probably alright, we can just say the volcano brought it up from deep underground as it seeped back into the ground from mini eruptions, and we have to find those spots, grab that oil, and in case of a meltdown use it to power backup generators

[pliant elbow]

where's the science in that?

[south bane]

why do we care about the volcanoes bro this is about a new division 💀

[faint rose]

There’s oil in volcanos

[south bane]

ong

[faint rose]

Bro what.

Or AED could extract natural gas and use it to heat the facility

[opal pawn]

ur thinking about this too hard

why would we need to heat the facility

[faint rose]

It’s funny

[pliant elbow]

winter's here

[faint rose]

True

[pliant elbow]

we don't need to heat facility

[faint rose]

We don’t want our guns to jam from the cold

[pliant elbow]

lol

[pliant elbow]

cause it would be cool to get aed to maintain the volcano

and use its power

but i dont think oil in DoD is needed

[faint rose]

A new resource might be a pain to do yeah

[coral sun]

ARD has bunch of things to do so AED could take over that job

[faint rose]

^^^

[terse sinew]

interesting ideas

[pliant elbow]

we are working on a new document rn

for what could be the inner-workings of AED

ranks, ect.

[opal pawn]

thank you corpsii

[terse sinew]

I don't recommend doing a full dive into it just to save time. Nobody really knows the full extent of AED, and for what you do propose it may not even be incorporated. Lots of the ideas are sound, I just don't know to what extent AED will function at. Vague teasers / promises are one thing, execution is another.

[opal pawn]

noted

[terse sinew]

But otherwise, cool

[pliant elbow]

thank you
