video was really helpful, my biggest tip as someone extremely new especially for setting up SM engine is to try just downloading tgstation for yourself and run around locally trying to set it up, chances are if you wanna play engineer you're probably a bit of a nerd and can figure it out, all the details are on the wiki, all you really need is git and the rest seems to just work, you can start a server locally very easily, slide on as engineer and just try setting it up, this video and wiki was helpful but being able to actually do it (including my first run fucking something up massively) made it a lot more easy to remember, practically getting a feel for what to click and where it is and running around and stuff, even had to jumpstart the emitters with a generator and it took me a while but its good to have done it offline without getting in the way/potentially ruining a real round on tgstation

First, years ago, I learned to set up the singularity engine. Then there was a switch to tesla and the thermoelectric, each with their own way to set up, so I had to learn that. Now I come back to the game and it's the Supermatter engine as default... so I gotta learn that now. Singulo was really my favorite; a lot of gameplay centered around shoring up Engineering to protect it against sabotage, so there'd be a lot more traffic and gameplay around Engi. These days it's mostly left alone.
Would really appreciate an atmos guide. Even the wiki says 90% of people don't know anything about atmos, though I see not THAT much has changed at first glance, except the tanks now have explosion shielding... heh. But as an old player, I tend to do things the old "hard" way and may not know about lots of quality of life changes that were added.

Make a /TG/ Chaplain guide next so I can hear about stuff I already know!

[@Zedorfska]

Been waiting for this one a while

[@Daveonimus]

Man, I hope Joey MacMellion sees this.
Jerk doesnt know the difference between a RPD and an RCD. Causes Singulos at the worst of times.

There's lots of desync in the video, the audio and visuals do not line up

[@BasedBellagio]

Odd? Did you try reloading

[@Killcrazy]

Some interesting stuff, definitely picked up one or two things! One question though: isn't turning on that loop with the freezers actually going to raise the average gas temperature with stock parts? The stock minimum is higher than the space loop by about 50k, won't they start to raise the temperature to match?

[@BasedBellagio]

Well yes very true. But I found the freezers even tier 1 are better in my opinion. The crystal superheated the gas, it flows out to space and cools but not fully, and the freezer is an extra safety if the engine gas gets to hot. When we checked the crystal app it was 129k temp , at 550k roughly it ignites.

[@Killcrazy]

@@BasedBellagio I suppose it depends on how hot your SM is running! A few emitters, you're probably slightly raising it. Lots, it's probably hot enough you're getting a benefit. Of course, by that point you have upgrades and it's DEFINITELY an upgrade then. Although I like to move them out and onto the main line out from scrubbers.

[@BasedBellagio]

@@Killcrazy I've seen engineers go out in space and expand the cold loop exchanges way far out increasing surface area and cooling efficiency

Can you do botanist or virusology next time?

[@BasedBellagio]

Botany is next up, maybe you'll see me there filming

[@konstantinangelov6806]
