Large reliance on bad APC var on MetaStation and other maps #14243
Description
Apparently, at some point it was acceptable to NOT have APCs generally be placed within the areas that they supply power to.
This is both confusing to future mappers, as well as players ingame. Most of the usages of this is actually completely redundant, but it really needs to be tracked so we can prevent weird APC placement overall.
If your room is too small to fit the APC, the room probably should be merged into a bigger powernet or expanded.
I made a script that goes through a .dmm file and looks for "areastring" usage, essentially when an APC is forced to override its supplied loc area with the designated area.
File: _maps/map_files/BoxStation/BoxStation.dmm
Total APC objects: 128
APCs with areastring: 8
APCs without areastring: 120
File: _maps/map_files/CardinalStation/CardinalStation.dmm
Total APC objects: 150
APCs with areastring: 2
APCs without areastring: 148
File: _maps/map_files/Deltastation/DeltaStation2.dmm
Total APC objects: 130
APCs with areastring: 3
APCs without areastring: 127
File: _maps/map_files/EchoStation/EchoStation.dmm
Total APC objects: 86
APCs with areastring: 1
APCs without areastring: 85
File: _maps/map_files/FlandStation/FlandStation.dmm
Total APC objects: 146
APCs with areastring: 0
APCs without areastring: 146
File: _maps/map_files/KiloStation/KiloStation.dmm
Total APC objects: 114
APCs with areastring: 88
APCs without areastring: 26
File: _maps/map_files/MetaStation/MetaStation.dmm
Total APC objects: 135
APCs with areastring: 81
APCs without areastring: 54
File: _maps/map_files/RadStation/RadStation.dmm
Total APC objects: 123
APCs with areastring: 2
APCs without areastring: 121
It is readily apparent how bad the state MetaStation is in right now. 60%???
I'll be trying to cut down on this var significantly, but this should be a goal going forward to bring this down to no more than 3 per-station.z
I'll give a cookie to whoever helps me along with this process.
