<p><pre><code> steps = 3&#x2F;&#x2F;Yes this is right </code></pre> So, this comment ought to explain their reasoning and it doesn&#x27;t, which is a shame - but isn&#x27;t it concerning that this person was warning us that there was a reason this value was 3 and not 2, and that no one in the PR seems to know what that reason is and whether it&#x27;s still relevant?<p>Who were you, mport2004? <i>What did you see?</i>

This is a fix for a 13 year old bug from SpaceStation 13, a multiplayer computer game.<p>The bug fix is for an obsolete engine for the game. It&#x27;s a fix, but it&#x27;s completely pointless. A meme fix.<p>More broadly, it&#x27;s probably not why you clicked on this link. Hopefully I&#x27;ve saved you some time.<p>(Or, if you&#x27;re of a certain perverse mindset, hopefully I&#x27;ve introduced you, so that you can dive in.)

I disagree, the containment field should be a minimum of 4x4. This was done to prevent engineers from being too greedy and not giving the singulo the space it deserves.<p>Also it gives an additional layer of safety that gave you a moment to act and shut down the PA when it grew from 3 to 4 size. Putting that in a 3x3 containment will eat the field emitters and the singulo will be loose.<p>Having it require a 4x4 field in the first place was a safer option.

It only <i>seemed</i> like 13 years, because the closer you get to a singularity...

hey its me ur pr author<p>Yeah I basically sat on this fix for a year because of that comment, then the topic of singulos got brought up again in the server I’m in so I decided to just send it.
