This PR mostly constitutes small fixes and QOL tweaks to Banana--some Syndiefied decals here, an extra toolbox there--but particularly notable changes and fixes:

  • Fixed Vox Box and Freezer vent rotations, plus the upside-down benches at Evac.
  • Fixed unnamed faxes and beacons.
  • Added a slot apiece for Lawyer and Paramedic.
  • Kitchen now has a ChefDrobe, and the ChefVend is no longer in the Freezer. Added more table space.
  • Kitchen, Bar, and Botany are now Service access.
  • Frank's name is now capitalized.
  • Updated the Engineering note slightly.
  • Expanded Science north 1 tile to get rid of a 2-wide wall
    • Artifact Chamber now has an (incomplete) gas filter in place of the waste pump.
    • Roboticist now has their own corner with a Robotics Control Console.
    • Removed an APE.
    • Gave Science a filled silo.
  • Added a firebot to Botany.
  • Randomized the Engineering pet.
  • Replaced one of the Brig's arcades with an art supplies crate.
  • Added some more mats and doodads to the Service Supply Room.
  • Named most of the doors, APCs, substations, and SMESes.
  • Autolathe is no longer publicly accessible, but Cargo can unlock it. Or someone can sneak under the flaps.
  • Removed extra dirt decals.

Why / Balance

Banana is a messy map. It's clunky, cramped, and all the hangout areas are hallways. There's basically no Maintenance tunnels that aren't in space, and the anomaly vessel basically destroys most of Science if it blows up. Worst of all, it is not shaped remotely like a banana.

None of these issues are really fixed in this update.

I think more can be done to improve Banana. The Chapel and Library could perhaps be merged into a nicer gathering area. The anomaly vessel could be given a separate area. The Arrivals area could be expanded and/or split off more, to allow for more private hangouts. The map could be renamed to Octopus, or "thing you stick on the sharp corner of the wall so the kid doesn't get hurt running into it".

For now, the focus is on QOL. Banana's strengths are the Shipyard, the cute Engineering gimmick, and being small enough for a cozy crew to keep track of everything, so the priority was to fix major bugs and make things slightly more breathable. I'm honestly not sure how much more work Banana merits--part of me just wants to make our own shipyard map rather than keep trying to salvage a station this quirky--but I hope people can enjoy Banana more with these small issues handled.
