/tg/Station 13

The tragedy of this post is that you're complaining to a community whose maintainer has openly expressed their desire to nerf chem for years.
No matter what you say, any criticism will fall on deaf ears. Like writing a thesis on the immorality of genocide and mailing it to Hitler.

Come on guys. The nerf PRs and ided suggestions are getting out of hand. Tg is getting watered down to fuck. Similar to the hugely successful antag and off-station freezes, I propose we institute a freeze on all nerfs except in the case of exploits or chronic abuse. This will facilitate the ...

Atmos monitoring app on the tablet is super useful. I load it up first thing every time I roll atmos.

I also usually start a tablet chat room for lols. Nobody has ever joined one

How about completing all objectives gives a small boost to your chance of rolling traitor next round?

Edge working on something along these lines:

You can make monkey powder with chemistry (requires bananas though). Then just inject them with mutadone and you got yourself a braindead buddy

because it sounds cooler

people generally don't like spending the rest of the round as a brain in a bag for the sake of wowepway. it's a common tactic to hail people then wait for them to start responding, making them easy pickings. it's so unbelievably cheap that majority of sec officers and master robusters don't bother ...

It happened guys there's a fucking RP server now! Thanks head admins for making this happen. All glory to Manuel!!!!

I've been fucking with plumbing a lot lately. In my experience an optimized drug factory spitting out a single med tier chem takes up about 1/3 of the factory space on meta. A true autist could probably make it smaller. I'd say you could probably shrink the meta factory to about 80% and it would ...

There's no job title called "Scientist", people specialize in a field.

Sorry to be the nitpicky guy but this isn't true. Science nerds do pretty much have to specialize in something during grad school and there are indeed many jobs in research that work within one specific field. But there are ...

You can but the material requirements are obscene. 67500 iron, 33750 glass and 900 plastic. It's kind of strange that chemists start with two plumbing RPDs for free on certain maps, but on others we need crazy amounts of material to get them.

It kind of sucks that we can only play with the plumbing mechanics on two maps. You don't need a huge empty space in med maint to make cool shit with plumbing. The bartender, for example, always appreciates narcotic dispensers, and sec always appreciates a lube smoke generator in their hallway ...

- If the only change is some round start text, it will probably take a couple weeks for people to notice, switch over, and get a groove going, for us to really know if there’s a difference in RP quality
- The other part of that is the amount of effort put into RP varies from person to person, so it ...

More crew content would be great and all, but the reason that many rounds are short is that most people don't give a fuck whether the round ends or not. When nobody RPs every round feels the same. Revs simply win/lose a team deathmatch, some antag kills a shit load of people, etc. The action can be ...

Not saying that changes are unnecessary, but the sec desk in medbay is there to deter shitters and is rarely used. Just having someone sitting there does a lot to prevent people from being dickholes and makes life much easier for medbay personnel. If you're fed up with the tide, try asking sec to ...

Couldn't you not show the ghost what species the larva will burst from?

like
"Do you want to be considered for the special role of alien larva?"

Here are some more ideas I came up with last night whilst smoking pot. Sure hope they don't get buried under all the other posts in this thread.

Oculine - change so it requires spray/dropper/splash into eyes to work

Mindwipe - erases chat log proportional to units ingested

Fireworks - looks ...

Web fluid would be neat. Though I'd rather see it require a craftable web shooter instead of injecting it into yourself for powers.
I've always wanted to see more chems that work by touch. Not just damage but silly shit like spray-on clothing/sunglasses or something. Another idea I've had would be ...

Ninjas in general are awesome but there are two things I dislike about them in ss13. One is that, in my experience, most crew members won't engage them so they have free reign to shit all over the place. I play on sybil where sec is often understaffed, maybe this doesn't happen on other servers. The ...

I still think the best solution is to use one resource tg already has, excess server capacity, to address the issue.

There are a lot of us who would like to take the time to interact with crewmates, but it's hard when Gary Greyshirt just wants to do his own thing and doesn't give a fuck about ...

Can't you wrap TTV bombs in packaging paper and stuff them in your backpack? Coulda sworn I've done this before on tg.

I'm happy to hear that someone is at least taking initiative to do something with the completely underutilized spare server that we have.
Don't let the shit talkers get you down. Hope you guys can make this work.

There's no denying that most of the tg playerbase resonates no/low RP. But I think there is a significant portion of us who would prefer gameplay that was slightly higher on the RP spectrum and also kept the tg spirit of short arcadey rounds.

I'm curious to know which tg mechanics in particular ...

I have thought the same for a long time. Since we now have a spare Sybil that is always empty, why not just make that a designated RP server?

Quitting Time

The shrieking wind whipped away the last of the ash and fell to its usual murmur. It was safe to go outside. Amid a barren dwarf planet illuminated by rivers of molten stone, a weary shaft miner emerged from the shelter of a bluespace safety pod. Charles Lambo adjusted his gas mask ...

I am byond ID Ragevirus, banned by Bgobandit on 2018-09-04 02:04:19 during round ID 93419, for 1440 minutes. The ban reason is: released N2O into engineering foyer as non-antag.
I'm sorry tg admins. I had to do something irl so I staged a suicide. Got naked and wrote a note that I couldn't handle ...
