Let MT's build converyor belts.

Okay let’s jsut be real the amount of HRP stuff I could do as an MT with this is amazing.

Tired of hauling bodies to rsr. Well jsut make a belt that runs from the dropship to the lab.

What need to deliver an OB from req to the cannon. Use belts.

Tried of walking what about replace every floor tile with belts like in air ports.

Not to even metnion the insane stuff you could do in req.

Did an MP’s break into the bar you made at hanger catwalks. Well use s shocked door and belt that automaticly stuns them and tosses them over the side of the catwalks.

I see only 2 issues.

The first being that mutli z exists and these belts might not be easy to convert over. Granted they don’t need to work with multi z.

The second is that there too slow. Once again they don’t NEED to be faster for them to be fun. But an option to overclock them makeing them go at like 50x speed would be liked.

I approve. Honestly, as an MT the chaos it would create with MPs makes me want it.

How is putting dead bodies on a conveyor belt into a morgue HRP?? How is covering the entire almayer in conveyor belts HRP?? What could you actually use conveyor belts for in Req? You can’t just funnel every item from the ASRS into a crate unless you’re ordering literally everything, in which case that would last for about 10 minutes. How is a giant conveyor belt along the length of most of the Almayer taking an OB to the OB cannon (which would then need to be loaded anyway) HRP?

All of these things are deeply LRP and remove player RP

You see RP is a lot of things. Sometimes it’s people reaction to your creations that is the RP. Ignoreing the RP of you and you’r MT buddies trying to make it.

Let me give you an example.

MP- “hey MT why are you building this.”

The MT turned and said in a single breath.

“Look! I stand among them: furnaces and forges, hammers and
machinery, and among hundreds of my comrades.
Above us in a wrought iron expanse,
Along the walls move the beams and the irons,
They rise up to a height of 30 feet,
Swinging from the right to the left.
They unite the rafters with the cupolas
And like the shoulders of giants,
They hold up the entire iron edifice.
Rising upwards, they are swift, sweeping, strong
Demanding ever more strength.
Gazing upon them, I draw myself up straight.
Pouring into my veins is a new, iron blood,
And I begin to grow.
I myself am growing steel shoulders and infinitely strong hands.
I am merging with the iron edifice.
With my shoulders, I am pushing the rafters and the beams up
to the roof.
My feet are grounded, but my head is higher than the building.
And while I am still choking from my inhuman efforts,
I am already crying out:
A word, comrades, a word!
The iron echo has heeded my words, the whole building
trembles with impatience.
I continue to rise upwards, I am on level with the pipes.
And there is no story here, there is no speech.
There is only the cry:
We will triumph!”

(New copy pasta jsut dropped. This was a poem by aleski gastev called We grow from iron.)

I want this but only because as MT I would build a three tile turbo conveyor and get an MP to chase me, and have them stuck on the conveyor because they can’t comprehend why they’re not moving anywhere.

copy pasting a poem from online is not RP, it’s a meme.

And what is RP to you. Cause right now it seems anything that goes beyond the most simplistic defintion is somehow LRP.

For playing a techno acclerationist MT who wishes to automate walking is HRP.

Who said you have to use the entire copy pasta. Do it in small bits. Print it out and leave the entire poem on the floor.

One time I got with two other players as Combat Correspondent and put on a short play of an excerpt of Macbeth.

RP is what you make it.
