#Consequences for power being out + Subject Update

As of right now, it seems like ARD likes to drain all of the fuel to prevent a meltdown. And as a raider it can be difficult to get enough fuel from Z14 for the reactor. The only downside to no power is that it's dark. So I think implementing additional consequences would be beneficial. I also want to introduce an idea known as a blackout, this would occur 20-30 minutes into the use of emergency power.

During Emergency Power

  • Elevators and doors will operate at half the speed, this would include the main gate.
  • Elevators will break more often.

During a Blackout

  • When the emergency power runs out, it will cause a facility wide blackout. This would occur 20-30 minutes into use of emergency power and leave the facility nearly pitch black, encouraging night vision and headlight usage.
  • When this blackout happens, the main gate will be inoperable and be left in the state that it was in prior to the blackout.
  • Some doors will be left as inoperable or be stuck open

This will motivate ARD to not let this happen. Of course, a loophole around this would be for ARD to put one piece of fuel into the reactor to reset this blackout timer, so I propose that the timer doesn't reset until the reactor reaches 1000 fuel again.

==================================================

I also propose an update for the subject team, this would include a cave expansion and more Fedorlite spawns for subjects to assist ARD with the reactor fuel. Maybe a shop for them as well to buy a better pickaxe.

Please give me feedback.

@stable gyro Reactions please

here is trhe thign

#

1k fuel is about 1 ore run ish

random knot
#

still kinda new here

#

but why dont yall buff the gain of ore

#

or idk maybe make it consume less fuel

lament forge
#

@stable gyro I can say this right

stable gyro
#

idk

lol

#

I like the idea of a blackout cuz I think the reactor should play a bigger role instead of just lights / nukes

like I said

There is a badge about it

Emergency power is when the red lights are on

#

still i fw this suggestion because ard are already lazy fucks

#

who need to get off their ass

#

ive been in servers with 4+ hour long blackouts

#

i had to refuel it myself and do like 3 ore runs

lament forge
queen hinge
#

wow congrats you no-lifed a boring game

#

i cant sit on dod for more then 3 hours at a time without wanting to do horrible things

pliant otter
#

I argee with this lowkey

queen hinge
#

But theyre too fucking lazy to do shit about it

pliant otter
#

bc everytime I get close to a melt these ARD just drain it

#

and never even refuel

queen hinge
#

and then never turn it back on

lament forge
#

@queen hinge ARD has reasons to reful that idk if i can say

#

but ik i do refuel

#

ive done like 50 ore runs in the last 20 days

queen hinge
#

thats good

#

i wish all ard had your motivation

lament forge
#

it leads to a rly fast burnout

queen hinge
#

type shi

#

i speedran sthd and got burnt out after a month

hasty stirrup
#

w update idea

#

ard can get annoying sometimes

#

and power blackouts is a wasted idea if all it does is turn off light

split knoll
hasty stirrup
#

yeah

#

if aegis wasnt stupid they would do that for every door during lockdown

spice cedar
#

The subject thing I agree with
As for the doors not working, I sure hope it's not any of the doors that I'd have to use to get to the reactor to refuel.

#

Reactor eats up too much fuel atm I think

#

But also it is harder to refuel the reactor when raiders go past AED and kill you after an ore run, making you unable to refuel anyway.

#

I think the reason why some ard don't bother refueling is because it's too easy to create a meltdown so I guess they don't bother refueling anyway to make it more difficult? Idk.
I was the only ard in game a couple hours ago and I managed to refuel it when I was there, but ard do get requested a lot when a bunch of shit happens, so you're sort of pulled into different directions.

#

Although it would be interesting to have something more than just the lights going off for the reactor after some time.

#

Doesn't help that the reactor is so fucked up rn that sometimes it gains sentience.

fathom thunder
#

remove ard !!!

slim bronze
#

OR if u bought the silver pickaxe, you would receive it as a subject

#

so u can flex on f2p ard that u got better pickaxes than them 🤑

peak belfry
#

bros cooking with suggestions tf

quick prairie
pliant tree
#

idk meltdowns r still really easy to prevent

#

if there is a good player count

#

this is. a good idea

quick prairie
#

depends if there is p2w in coolant

#

if not, then yes very easy

broken vine
#

im not refueling with 5 raiders that attack cooant constantly

random knot
#

maybe they should make the attacks on coolant have a timer?

#

like if it gets atempted

#

they need to wait 30 mins to do it agian

#

also maybe the idea of a battery could be added

#

making it ard needs to run the reactor for like an hour every 4 hours to charge the batterys of the border

#

or sum like that

obtuse halo
lament forge
#

We try to refuel when its smart to but if we know ur tryying to meltodwn why would we? We would be giving u the opputiry to

#

Also

#

sometimes its hard to refeul when u have coolant+reactor

#

😱

winter glen
#

ofc im going to drain if raiders are going to melt

#

i aint letting a meltdown happening

winter glen

#

I suggest not to call us "lazy"

#

Since you don't know anything about ARD

queen hinge
#

fuel runs arent hard

broken vine
#

would YOU

#

refuel

#

if 5 raiders attack coolant and cr constantly

#

and are trying to do meltdown ^

queen hinge
#

usually when its blackout

#

theres minimal raiders but ard are just too lazy to go on an ore run

#

Someone already said 1000 is easy

deep shoal
#

1k too much

#

yeah ik it is

#

but if we need to do something important

split knoll
deep shoal
#

and we are in hurry

#

500 is enough

#

persianlly

#

but yeah cool suggestion

split knoll
#

Maybe 1000 would be reasonable if the subjects had more fedorlite to mine

icl yall are bitching for no reason
this wasnt a problem with draining before the reactor update
i dont see why it is now

# queen hinge then get better

tf

  1. we arent a combative division, yet Ill argue ard undergoes the most combat in the game
  2. tf u want a f2p ard to do to someone who spent an iphone's worth of robux on the game
  3. melting down is REALLY easy for raiders provided they use 2 brain cells (it takes less than 5 mins)

idc what any1 says coolant is much easier to overwhelm

  • 1 button = all progress gone
bleak cove
#

do you know how hard it is to get into the control room when raiders r there

#

I gotta pull the most billion iq shit to prevent meltdowns

#

cuz you can outlive the 1s

broken vine
#

did you know

#

that blackout happens

#

mostly

#

cuz raiders are trying to meltdown

#

but not enough fuel?

pliant tree
#

with gamepasses

#

they don't need good aim cuz they buff noobs

#

they just gotta run and place crosshair on the corner

queen hinge
#

When someone goes to elevator just hardscope

#

The minute the door opens shoot

#

usually they run straight out the elevator door first

#

it worked every time for me

What about veronjkl

it will distract him

#

sure meltdown is easy if there isn't every divisional knowledgeable about your doing of it

#

which there usually is since ard almost always check their tablet after a while

bleak cove
#

aint no way you guys r crying about tablets

#

a sum total of 10 ard have them

#

and theres no alarm

#

yet

thin acorn
#

Also meltdowns went from 20 minutes to 4-5 minutes

peak current
bleak cove
#

thats way too unbalanced

#

you guys dont understand

#

raiders have dews, we have reactor control

runic knot
#

No

#

There are many scenarios in which we might have to keep the reactor on low fuel.

#

We dont keep it on 0 for the fun of it, atleast most of the times

pliant tree
#

u can do it rlly quick but they r so ez to stop

winter glen
#

and rn with the new reactor ive seen way too many meltdowns

pliant tree
#

yea fair enough

queen hinge
#

uh womp womp just dont suck

#

you guys have such an easy way to stop meltdowns

#

and you guys should be responsible enough to fix it after the threat is gone

#

but you dont

Plus u can call support requests

Most ard don't have tablets. The only ones who get tablets for free are usually inactive in game.

#

I just basically walked in without competition turned off the coolant and safety rods

#

No alarms, no one noticed

l2 should get them for free

We wish

#

L6+ does

so high

runic knot
#

It cant get any easier than this

pliant tree
#

Well you will find it can

#

Ill give you an example

#

No more valve

runic knot
#

Might as well remove the reactor and change it to a coal power plant

#

That way you only have to throw in some more coal and your guaranteed that some marshmallows will be roasted

random knot
bleak cove
#

at this point

#

the only way to make meltdowns easier for raiders is to politely ask the reactor to blow itself up

#

lmfao

runic knot
#

LOL trollface_aegis

pliant tree
#

add an alarm at like 4k

#

4000k

#

then

#

An amount of time that is short but fair

bleak cove
#

dawg

#

back then

#

it was 800k

#

and 1500k to blow up

#

and that wasnt an issue

#

we dont even got an alarm and these nerds r complaining 😭

winter glen
#

#

You guys are complaining while a bunch of meltdowns are going on right now.

in the past like 3 months ive only seen 2 L6's ingame

pliant tree
#

LOL

#
  • It seems as though ard are the only ones complaining here
queen hinge
#

they claim blackouts and drainng are a "strategy" if raiders are meltdowning

#

but what i dont get is why theyre too fucking lazy to refuel when the raiders are gone

bleak cove
#

LMAO no

#

we had 4 meltdowns today courtesy of @pliant tree

pliant tree
#

I participated in none of those actually

#

mind you

bleak cove
#

oh whatever

pliant tree
#

I was online for 3

queen hinge
#

no ard were ingame

#

those meltdowns are completely ard's fucking fault

#

💀

bleak cove
#

ard arent obligated to be in game

queen hinge
#

maybe yall should when 4 meltdowns happen within a day

bleak cove
#

maybe you should touch some fucking grass

#

💀

pliant tree
#

fun

queen hinge
#

and i know damn well YOU are not not telling ME to touch grass

bleak cove
#

yap yap yap

u both need grass

I play other games.

ive been on inac for the past 2 weeks 💀

copper folio
#

then we'll wait to see you breaking down emotionally and discharging because you realize you cant do any better than current ard do

#

in short: shut the fuck up, we aint lazy, you just have unrealistic expectations given the amount of raiders and how buffed the reactor is in favor of raiders

bleak cove

I changed my mind, super is gonna be a great teacher

ngl but understanding that is quite simple because blackout = reactor offline = no fuel = no meltdown
