Remember that carp are a dorfort thing from when cap would rape normal dorfs for going near water(space).

I think its just fine.

Snakebutt

With parasting, they will have an advantage in being able to grab and eat people. As long as they focus on eating loners, they will never have to even start losing chemical.

With goals of eat X people and escape alone, the rounds wont drag on and on. Furthermore, it WILL instill fear and paranoia ...

Snakebutt

The problems with ripley are NOTHING compared to problem with mining borg though, which is outright unplayable.

What's wrong with it? Played it the other day, felt pretty strong. There's a bit of module-juggling you have to do but I honestly had a good time. Goliaths were a cakewalk with my ...

Snakebutt

Because everyones complaint is ling rounds never ending and nothing happening. If people are being killed off and replaced at a steady rate, the round will have some momentum and end much faster because as soon as the ling runs out of people to eat, they should call the shuttle, rather than ...

Snakebutt

Wow, people really hate ling. I have a few ideas though.

For one, lings are just too damn quiet. Giving them silent objs tends to lead to that.

Lets add a timer. If a ling hasnt gotten a new genome in 2-5 minutes, they start losing chemicals until they are powerless, dying in 10-20 mins of no ...

Snakebutt

Lights are a nonissue for mech, you have 20+ mins of power with lights and air nonstop mining.

Real problems are getting fucked by hivelords and needing an advanced scanner to mine with it.

The problems with ripley are NOTHING compared to problem with mining borg though, which is outright ...

Snakebutt

Combining a book with an item to get a power is a brilliant idea, but having a set formula just means the librarian will go on an item hunt and then have nothing to do. The experimentor turns random items into other random items, why not something similar? Items are divided into categories, and a ...

Snakebutt

More ideas for librarian powers:

Wrath: Makes books into a brute 10 weapon when used on the head. Now you too can biblethump like the chaplian!

Paper space: the librarian can become 2d, capable of hiding within paper bins. If the bin is picked up, they take suffocation damage until they die ...

Snakebutt

bad idea
you picked chaplain. your job is to talk on the radio and have everyone ignore you. you don't get dumbass anti-cult powers, you get to preach

Every RP job needs something to spice it up.
it's an rp job.
to spice it up, stock the library. actually use the tools given to you and be ...

Snakebutt

Can librarian share their research, or give it to someone else? Those divination powers would be great for medical. A ranged scan is cool, passive reagen scan is fucking amazing.

Perhaps the puzzle takes the form of a crossword? Its still searchable, but every answer will need another search, so it ...

Then explain how wizards can hand crew wands and books.

Or how the mime makes actual walls.

Snakebutt

make a 'toolbelt' module that preloads the whole toolset into the borg, so if for some reason you want an army of 10 engiborgs, there's actually enough tools on station after making them for players to hack the vault, costs 2-3 points.

You're working with a device that constructs god damn robots ...

Snakebutt

Customizable borgs would be GREAT. Rather than just a few presets, make it so the roboticist can make a borg for whatever's needed, like an engiborg with a jetpack for EVA construction, secborg with actual handcuffs instead of zipties, 'weaponized' mechs that can be given an egun/saw/flamethrower ...

Snakebutt

Everyone saying yes should go here: byond://game.tgstation13.org:2337

Because it's already like that there.

Atmos to Engineering.
Detective to Security.

Also true there.
On top of the detective problem, robotics doesn't have full science access. I've spawned as robotics as only science ...

Snakebutt

how will shadowling deal with botanist growing 100 potency glowberries that light up the entire screen to full light? And then growing a million and scattering them everywhere?

Snakebutt

I personally think Cultists should be focused more on making themselves more powerful instead of being Rev2.0
I had an idea for cult/bloodmagic to have 2 different 'brances', ritual and physical. Ritual blood magic is what we have, acolytes and words and runes and ceremony around the circles ...

Snakebutt

which is why I think pulse weapons are a bit much. Giving them access to anything from the station, like advanced egun, some kind of improved taser, shotguns, smgs, stechkins, all good choices. Giving them deathsquad-light weapons is a bit much.

Is there a centcom announcement when they are sent ...

Snakebutt

I prefer to ask for their reasoning to open EVA for them. If I just let 'Law 2', they can fuck off. If they tell me they want to set up the solars or do some construction, or need metal, or there's a massive breach, I open the doors for them. Don't even care if they lied, they at least tried.

This ...

Snakebutt

how about a drone awareness day on the station, on an extended/slow round admins spawn like 20 drones in the vault for ghosts to use. If it turns into an absolute nightmare with several bannings, we shouldn't do this. If it goes surprisingly well with some kind of super autism castle/station ...

Snakebutt

Give them both jurisdiction over Genetics. Some departmental conflict could lead to some fun RP as the CMO wants Xray, but the RD stole the boards and demands 4 large beakers of acid and the hypo before giving them back.

Interdepartmental jobs seem interesting in concept, leave roboticist but add ...

Snakebutt

Ah.

I just worry that having the ERP around runs counter to the whole 'station is expendable' flavor that I'm pretty sure is a thing, and also sorta something that would just shit on a successful loud traitor. And yes, if the successful loud traitor just sits around with his thumb up his ass ...

Snakebutt

Yeah, speaking as a miner who collects those fairly often, I would like to see crew-constructs come back.
Only during non-cult or wizard rounds then it's find.
Or make the mining constructs a completely different thing. Identical in function, but separate them enough with code so they dont get ...

Snakebutt

Could we make separate shades/constructs, and depending on your faction flag, when you use the soul shard you get different options to summon the correct shade? Would also add some flavor for some kind of bloody apparition for cult, versus some glowy monster for wizard, and just a generic(visible ...

Or a Capture the flag mode, each department has to hunt and kill the clown, and keep his severed head in their department for a certain amount of time to win.

Snakebutt

too bad there are ZERO rumblings on git about pulling goon features other than laser eyes, goof just gets more shit approved regardless of what we think. Do we need to start bitching him out in OOC whenever he plays or something, be mature and alert SoS?

Snakebutt

difference of what? Emergency Response Party and deathsquid?

ERP exists to save the station and bring the round back on track. Deathsquid exists so admins can murderbone.

Snakebutt

Sleeper automatically reads reagents in the body, and I think there's a blood scanner thing you inject blood samples into, but that might be bay.

Snakebutt

so we can't discuss it's validity as a (changed) feature ever? Some added content to the list of 4 things genetics can maybe do, sorta, if RNG likes them would certainly be welcome.

Snakebutt

snip
Carrot. Cake.
The odds of the work of Hydroponics, Kitchen AND genetics all lining up for that to be available are so low that this should be a valid workaround. And carrots contain inacusiate, which doesn't heal actual blindness from massive eyedamage, unless cake is different somehow. So ...

Crank up the nutrition usage, make it fairly rare and make it not work while wearing a helmet/mask/anything that covers the eyes.
Oh well how about that viro just gave me a weight even virus INFINITE LASERS
Thus why eye damage is a good solution. A competent viro/chef prodives plenty of nutrition ...

Snakebutt

You get what I'm saying about glucose, right? Salt, water, and sugar is super easy to mass-produce in the kitchen. Even if it works slowly, doesn't that undermine the hell out of medbay?
muh goon super-duper sekkrit recipes.

Seriously though, isn't salt limited to about 30u in the shaker? Wasn't ...

Snakebutt

Saline working slow as fuck but 100% is a good improvement, means I can take people with stubbed toes and slap them into the sleeper and escort them out with the assurance they'll feel better soon.

I feel 50% is still a bit high for tricord. 75-80% would be ideal, it's application would be as an ...

Snakebutt

My ideas for tricord were for it to only work if the patient is over 50-75%, or work just enough to bring people out of crit to like 10 health, forcing medics to use some other form of healing after that. That way tricord could be used either as an emergency medicine to save dying people, or just a ...

Snakebutt

I've always found welding masks to be a pain in the ass to find apart from as science and engineering. Hardsuit helms put a bit of a damper on it, but still not teeeerribly common.

Snakebutt

Sec also can't detect armblades. Forgot about hardsuit helms, that is a problem. Perhaps they just REDUCE the damage, so you can fire maybe two shots and only white out the screen, while firing any more than one at a time without protection does permanent damage/blindness? Or reducing the damage of ...

Snakebutt

As we discussed in the other thread, make it cause welding eye damage when used unless you are wearing welding goggles, limiting your vision. Or just making you go fucking blind if you can't find any. This way I can not only cosplay as the hulk, but as Cyclops.

A cooldown would be prudent as well.

Snakebutt

Gee I'd love it if one faggot ruled all the code that sounds like a great idea

Alternatively just nut up and join the codebase?
That's exactly how professional coding works. You have a boss to report to, who coordinates people and makes sure everything runs smooth, making sure rat poison doesn't ...

Snakebutt

Harmful from shitlers badly interpreting laws. Harmful from stealing everything not nailed down.

Snakebutt

Letting QM delete the logs makes sense, given that he's the one responsible for them, and adds a certain level of authority and suspicion to him. Did the console get emagged, or is the QM just lying? Or is the HoP framing the QM?

Make sure to add some welding goggles to genetics too, for when you do get it.

Snakebutt

Never played with it myself, but I have watched science play with it through the chemistry window on eff3. Every round, they end up with radium all over the floor, 2 explosions and a few gas releases. Never heard them yelling from the rooftops about big breakthroughs either.

Its almost never the case that a large change (or even many of the smaller ones) gets merged without somebody noticing. That's why there are so many feedback threads about PRs that aren't even merged yet. Irregardless of the feedback and sentiments in those threads, controversial and ...

Snakebutt

Making it useful as a cultist objective doesn't really help make the desk useful outside of cult rounds.

Honestly just remove it or add some non-rp function to the nerdlibrarian and make it involve the desk. Some cult-lite ability and fluffing them as 'occultists' might work.

Snakebutt

an engineering mode other than shuttlebuild would be neat, but moving the centcom station is a terrible idea. Have you SEEN that z-level? The area you land in is about all there is to it, everything is in isolated rooms floating in space. It's a mess because it isn't meant to be used.
