Talk:Cargo Request Computer

From Space Station 14 Wiki

Page for the cargo request computer

Very, very, work in progress at the moment.

First page I made from scratch on this wiki, if you think something is formatted wrong / confusingly, there's a good chance that it is, please do feel free to help and fix.

low priority - infobox

right now, i dont think any infobox template is designed / designated to be used for consoles/computers/machines or even constructs in general

I definitely think there should be one for consoles/computers/machines, seeing as its an entire category of items / structures in it of itself, there are a lot of them, they are probably here to stay, and they are very formulaic

with all that said - overall, low priority; the already existing infoboxs (right now, mostly the item infobox) should probably be worked on and refined beofre hand, seeing as there arent many pages that need a "console infobox" at the moment

Just something to consider for the future

High(est for this page) priority - orders table

considering the all the data for the table is available via the github, the entire table can just be automated by having a format/script pull the info from there. This would basically solve all formatting discussion because it we can just have the table display things in how they are presented in the code and in game 1 to 1.

With the massive benefit of "only needing to do this once": if a script can do it, only a single line needs to be formatted, the rest should be automatic, and then even the massive-er benefit of having the page basically maintain itself! (as long as large changes aren't done to the data format, which will damage or straight up brick the script, which is totally a possibility)

There is more to this specific discussion - I will continue this page tomorrow (hopefully)
