SS14 - Tesla Engine

[@CrazzyJ-iw5rc]

It was my immense joy to witness one of the first tesslooses on Wizden servers. I was playing salvage and one of the asteroids we magnetized had despawned without warning, instantly round removing the entire salv team. We haunted the station a bit until dead chat started reading "tessloose" i went to engineering and saw this glorious ball of lightning bouncing around a steadily decaying chamber as they didnt really build it right. as soon as that containment field failed... the destruction was glorious.

[@DoktorGears]

A wonderful addition to engineering's tools set and one step closer to Super Matter shenanigans. I can't wait for someone to build a tesla shittle.

[@quri1q662]

I hope we get sm and the sm related syndicate tasks, and that one gas I always forget the name of

[@DoktorGears]

@@quri1q662 Don't forget your magbooties when you cut that slither off. But I really hope the way they implement the SM shard works a little differently in 14. In 13 on every code base I've played it only dusts you if YOU touch it, not the other way around. I really, REALLY want to make a SM shard cannon out of some disposal pipes.

[@tropicalowl8847]

"It's harder to sabotage don't know if this is intentional" Oh no it is, it's been like that for 20 years in SS13, some maps would roll diferent engines instead of having fixed ones and people would sometimes order tesla stuff when singulo came up because it's relatively safer! Also something that I don't know if it's possible to do in SS14 but was very much possible in 13, since the tesla doesn't damage structures themselves, you could contain it's in a 1x1 field, there's something for me to try next time I boot up the game!

[@andrewgreeb916]

That seems cruel to the floating ball of death and destruction, give it some space

[@catfoodbob1]

I mean, this ones harder to sabatoge, sheerly by fact that the person trying could very well be hit by a electrical shock of deadly proportion

[@Warlock0880]

You can do a 1x1 containment for tesla. Just saw it the other day on wizden.

[@killfected7309]

Funfact: in Ss13 if the tesla hits the ai or just an strong emp in general it auto shuttle calls. I think it will do the same one ai sat and ai is in Ss14

[@catfoodbob1]

Tesloose On bigger note, it lets engineering exploit an electrical anomaly better if in a good location. Also purchasable Batterys thta when filled are worth a whole lot more than what they purchase for, but they eat a lot of power.

[@godgaveyouhands2848]

you can actually get away with a 3x3 containment field (3x3 inside) and even if you max out the PA it will not loose if you have the right setup

[@andrewgreeb916]

That sounds realistically sized for a shuttle

[@MarjoraLegion]

i get the feeling people gonna start making custom shuttle with tesla in it

[@whatdoyousayful]

And now we can make lady tesla and lord singulo dance by putting them next to each other I can't wait

[@norsebeast5984]

If you build one off station, you might want to warn Salvage not to fly their shuttles near it.

[@stanenjoyer1890]

before you posted a tutorial, a few people tried to do this, but then got it loose lmao

[@snarst]

I already saw this thing get loose yesterday. The entire fucking station was spaced, the escape pods were nothing but floor tiles, most of the crew was dead and the angry ball just kept going. Luckily for the crew the one place it never went was evac after it destroyed the firelocks to the area. It was on Marathon and even the chapel, AI area and solars were obliterated. He is not exaggerating when he says it's more dangerous than a singuloose. Unless you have insulated gloves, then it cannot hurt you.

[@DrTarte]

Tesloose was a hilarious encounter last night.

[@andrewgreeb916]

Had some people in a round complain about not getting to play with this, I'll have to try it out

[@BodenPflanze]

i had that thing go loose on the first round after the uptate while a rev round. No one wanted to fight each other because we where all too much frighten, i barely managed to evac as HoP. This thing is so scary with the explosion sounds in the distance

[@UBlueberry]

i was your pAI, and yes that was very crazy. the tesla ball just deciding to materialize at the shuttle bridge so nobody could early launch has given me a new deepest darkest fear. happy birthday, though

[@UBlueberry]

@@BodenPflanze don't mention it, it's what i do 😏

[@oldWanderer69]

So uh they didn't code in hail merry way of dealing with it? Which is by getting tongs and sm shard, flying towards that ball and having small shard absorb it. You would then have very small chance of recontaining now powered up shard and could rebuild the station.

[@Miodude]

I honestly have not laughed this much in months, since I can watch it dismantle the whole station.

[@edwardfishkins1125]

Personally I like the ss13 teleporting tesla, it was like a living lightning strike, teleporting around at random and causing a mini explosion/emp. Felt like being in an hellish lethal version of a space thunderstorm.

[@Scrambleking]

3x3 will always be the best tesla size in my heart XD

[@shadekage3432]

Absolutly love the update sadly i can already see this thing getting the "singulo nerf" treatment and being given a required fuel source as well in the future :/

[@Kogan-uy8vo]

Singularity is king Tesla is queen Who would you choice Well, I choose ratvar

[@beridot2615]

I dunno if this was said: Everytime a Tesla coil is struck it gains damage, you must repair tesla coils with a welder.

[@Liltenhead]

It didn't at the time of the video, so I should probably remake this already.

[@05Matz]

I wonder if the PA needs to be on the same grid as the tesla ball generator to get it started. I'm imagining a stripped-down minimal tesla containment setup on a shuttle being used as a superweapon in some kind of station-vs-station gamemode. Compared to a singularity it would be a bit harder to contain/deliver, but far more likely to stick around and eat the target station/ship rather than slingshotting itself into deep space.

[@louther1213]

Finally i can recreate my 9 tesla 3 x 3 square of power. Nothing will surely go wrong

[@ParrFigg]

tesla pod is real!

[@simonheadless7898]

So that's what people are afraid of in SS13 by yaling "Tesla escaped!!!"

I cant wait to see how the people contributing to the ss14 github mangles the supermatter (no offense but it will be different, so in the eyes of an ss13 player it will be bad) if that ever gets added, or what they will do instead of it

[@ianirwin9480]

The MOST IMPORTANT THING about if you accidentally let the tesla loose - You can blame it on epi for messing around with dangerous artifacts.

[@Foxbat131]

This happened to me last night and holy hell...

[@comet.x]

Can a singularity eat ball lightning? Asking the real questions here

[@Liltenhead]

Yes the singularity will eat the tesla.

[@wallengren3199]

If you snip the medium voltage wire leading to the emitters doesnt it just go lose after a while?

[@Liltenhead]

Yeah, if no one notices

[@rench7551]

Самый рофл спрятать там диск от яо и чекать как они его заберут. Если одна молния даже джагу убьёт.

[@amityFinder2099]

erm achsually the dielectric breakdown of the vaccum of space is too high so there would basically be no lightning striking anything

[@kice1102]

Is there no way to stop a loose tesla? Can i just put down a grounding rod to make it follow it

[@Liltenhead]

there's no way to stop it once it is free

[@Robber7]

What does increasing the strength of the particle accelerator do to it?

[@vincentdu15200]

It generate the small ball faster i believe

[@scoomplers]

i feel like the singularity should be more dangerous than the tesla ball but, eh.
