Major Remap: Science Remap/AI Core Remap (#19003)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Hello! 

With this Remap my intent is simple. I want to make the science
department feel more like a department.

Steps taken - 
1. Make science feel more like a department, under guidance of a few
science players.
2. Merge xenobiology and xenobotany to have a shared working
lab/disection area. The sub-departments themselves will not be shared.
3. Improve the size and layout of the RnD lab.
4. Give the RnD lab a circuitry area.
5. Provide an actual secure area for the RnD servers, rather than a
random hallway.
6. Allow for more use of exploratory chemistry for Antagonists by
isolating it slightly.
7. Allow for more use of telescience for antagonists (and regular
players) by giving it an isolated but larger workspace.
8. Relocate the AI to a location that minimizes the footprint of the
core, but still maintains a level of security.
9. Provide an accessible cyborg charging area/AI Shell spawn that is not
connected to the core.

**Here are all of the completed areas** 

Total AI Core redesign and relocation -

Cyborg spawn relocation

A dissection theater so the xenobiologist/arch/botanist/scientists can
teach lab assistants how to operate on monkeys, protos, slimes, etc.

Exploratory Chemistry

![exploratorychem](https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/assets/98699252/c65e9185-f390-4242-9d8d-c5df1d9098cd)

Hazardous containment for those specimens that aren't holdable in the
xenobio lab. Complete with a window to offer some further interaction.
The walls are only reinforced which an arm blade can pierce through, as
can a hulked vampire, horror form ling, etc.

![Hazardouscontainment](https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/assets/98699252/0f75e022-1df3-4359-8b48-365ce75dcc33)

New RnD, RD office, Meeting room, and little break area. Complete with a
circuitry suite.

![rnd](https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/assets/98699252/87833557-caea-44f9-a4be-2dcb95e7addc)

New Telescience. Blast doors are there for some RP purposes, nothing
more really.

Went back to the old Equipment room essentially, because telescience was
moved back to D2

"New" xenoarch secure storage. (See above)

New Xenobiology layout. I have some content changes coming soon.

![xenobio](https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/assets/98699252/0e811cfa-865b-4f82-96dd-b7aa979dfc6e)

A new foyer with some lab space to allow for the xenobiologist to work
in an area not surrounded by beasts trying to eat them. Courtesy of
50_Noob.

![xenobiofoyer](https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/assets/98699252/5f94b754-216b-4c8c-9b60-a97e7ec1cc37)

A new layout of Xenobotany to assist with feeling more like a lab than a
botanical garden.

![xenobot](https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/assets/98699252/8236a060-283b-4474-b664-718e85eff2e2)

Combined Xenological studies foyer so xenobotany and xenobiology can
work together a bit more. Open to normal scientists as well
