About the PR

This PR adds 4 lines of YAML that make it so you take damage when inside a disposal system and hit a turn. Each turn deals 12 damage, capped at 100 damage, so you won't gib if you're stuck in a loop. You'll just die! :)

Why / Balance

Disposals should NOT be free transportation. It's a very violent trash chute. Yeah, it's gonna fucking hurt.

Technical details

YAMLing it up

Test plan

forcemap to a real map
jump into a disposal chute
observe as you take damage each time you take a turn

Thats a bit much isnt it, I get that jumping into a trash chute IRL would hurt, but critting due to it seems a bit much

I think this makes sense! The disposals tubes are not meant to accomodate people and knocking your head really hard can kill!

I don't like this. Disposal tubes are fun. Players need them to evade pursuit, to enter restricted areas, for general tomfoolery. Please don't close off this avenue of play in the name of realism.

what if wearing a special pillow armor you can make with bedsheets reduced this damage by 50 percent, while also reducing cone of vision and slowing you down?

i'd be okay with toning down the damage slightly but TBH i really like this either way, its very slapstick

## Short description

Essentially a port of

5 blunt per corner, which is pretty fair imo for most maps, and capping
at 100 damage

Also there are many maps that use disposals for transport, to an AI satellite for example, this would hurt those as well

I've always thought this was too silly. Why are NT architects making access into this important part of the facility require going into a trash bin and use an unsafe air compression system meant to move low-value garbage? I can see an assistant puling antics like that but a professional like a scientist, and engineer or, more often than not, the RD or captain doing this is just weird.

You only take damage when hitting a turn in the disposals. Every map except like, Box, that uses disposals to enter the AI satellite are straight lines that will not damage you.

There's also the possibility of using them as a weapon. If you can get cuffs on someone you are rarely more than a screen away from silently murdering them by shoving them into disposals on most large maps. Then you can simply go to disposals to finish the RR if that's what you want.

If we really don't like disposal riding, I would honestly prefer disallowing people from entering a disposal unit entirely.
