Spawn Planet Compressors

I kinda set the multiplier on a compressor to 1000... but I dont usually use compressors. anyway, the oxygen percent is stuck at 0 and poeple are still trying to compress o2 to keep alive- can you restart the server to fix the atmosphere?
mainly I did it to show all the new poeple how compressors kill the planet. because everyone was placing down like 10 compressors and just pumping air...
but yeah I screwed up reversing it; I put it loads of hydrogen but in the end I got oxy to 7%-and found someone compressing!

Remind me why we don't have compressors filtered?

I think a more realistic solution would be to set the compressor tool to a certain rank, and anyone below that rank that tries to use it will automatically switch to the heavy water electrolyzer tool.
Except in this analogy, if someone throws into the gutter, oxygen is vented from the alley and everyone dies choking and loses ten points.

Great! More encouragement to throw the ball correctly!
I'm going to add one bit to the side of a maintainer script: unless this has been made much, much easier since I last played, it's quite hard to drain the spawn planet of oxygen unless you've either: A) left some compressors running next to a very large storage for a very long time, or set the multiplier to 1000. If the situation is version A, then the player using them was probably just being forgetful; if it is B, however, that means that the player already knows how compressors work (at least on a rudimentary level), and is either brute-forcing it or actually being an Eco-terrorist.
Long story short: why punish players doing it right for a neophyte or mingebag doing it wrong?
you are the space hero this server deserves

You wouldn't even need a giant list of default values, you would only need either the coordinates or the entity name (IIRC) of the spawn planet's atmosphere for each map. On load, you could run a simple case switch or similar, and if the map has a set spawn atmosphere, record its stats for later use. If you were feeling particularly creative, you could make that list a file, and have some chat command hooks for admins to slowly build up the database or temporarily for any special events.
I never said it was a high priority, but it should be on the consideration list eventually.
then we just need to vent some hydrogen and energy to fill it back up. useful.
I always thought you needed it for super hot planets.
"I want you to show this world what it means to fear the sky."
energy gives you energy in bar,
oxygen gives you air,
water gives you coolant,
nitrogen does nothing.
also now I can kill a compressor spammer via e2
because of course I had to learn it!
Besides, mildly off-topic. I'll be looking into Steev's idea about refreshing the spawn planet's atmosphere periodically after my holiday. In the mean-time, no more of this rampant atmosphere stealing!
