Shuttle automatically called if round lasts 8 hours

What this does

Adds an actual shift time limit before the shuttle comes. Is recallable, but if recalled, will automatically keep calling every hour after that.

Why it's good

Stops server crashing due to "resource leakage" which usually happens 12 hours into a round, most rounds that manage to last this long are also usually deadpop.

• rscadd: Shifts now automatically call a shuttle after 8 hours. Recalling this will send it again an hour later each time it's recalled.

Make it so the recall message says "The shuttle will be called again in 1 hour." and we're golden.

Or more accurately the time left until the next call or something.

Fixing the source of the resource leakage would be preferable. It's rare but I could imagine this getting in the way of potential super long We Build rounds. In some ideal universe the shuttle would only rarely have to be called and rounds would go on for days, stations getting increasingly customized, with people sleeping in dorms and antags being shuffled in by dynamic.

if you really wanted that you would need a way to shuffle dead players back into the round as crew which i think is generally disliked

[Kurfursten]

If you can't be assed to swing by the bridge once an hour to recall, you really didn't want to build that bad.

I foresee this really only affecting the server when a round gets left on overnight due to 0 players.

It's not really an emergency if you're leaving after a full work day...

[Exxion]

Yeah, ideally it wouldn't call it the emergency shuttle in this case, but that might be obnoxious to implement

[bathosbathtime]

I know this is untested as the method used to call the shuttle can not be recalled and I doubt you would maliciously lie about being able to recall it if you knew better.
