I’ve sent feedback via official channels in the past, but the issue therein is there is no indication anyone has even read your feedback, I personally never received any replies or even just a note regarding my feedback to PRs.
However, I believe public feedback forums help not only in allowing people to raise issues publicly, but it helps people bounce ideas off of each other in service of a PR.
Some maintainers have claimed public feedback is just grandstanding. I think this is just a closed minded attitude.
This is great feedback; but really in the future submit it through the normal channel CM-SS13 - Forums. Saves you backlash if you make a hot take, and encourages people to make a more concise argument what the issues are and what could be done better when they don’t have to consider how others may view their opinion.
Feedback in just a general discussion is not where we are looking and can easily go overlooked. This issue is a hot topic though thanks to certain individuals and is exactly why the feedback is where it is.
You should already see that Beagle has addressed much of what you outlined already in the PR. But since I am writing I personally think allowing the bottle to be left in the machine is a bad idea because the risk of someone just stealing your bottle when you stepped away. The percentage is because of a desire to make certain actions have different costs so there can’t be a more standard “uses left” terminology.
pr completely fucks marines during fobsiege (alamo is holding on the ground and thus does not cycle), which may make 2 hour long FOB sieges even rarer than they presently are
marines will have to be yelled at to load used bone gel onto the ds when its not holding on the ground so that the bottles may be refilled. considering the average level of intelligence among marine players i see this as not very likely and thus in some rounds fobdoc will be completely disfunctional.
how to solve the issue: add BIG RED TEXT for dcc job description telling them that its their job to bring the bottles back onto the almayer for refilling.
otherwise the pr is an non-issue
