AI can pick which laws to state, is there a way for robots to do that?

AIs and Cyborgs have the same "state laws" window

Under Robot Commands there's the State Laws command. Click that which opens a window, same as the AI's. By each Law is an Underlined YES/NO. Click the YES/NO to specify whether you should state that law or not. By default, antag status Laws are set to NO.

How do you use stuff like $language and $filters in comms scripts?

Can I, as an alien, put a facehugger in a backpack and leave it lying in an obvious place to facefuck bag-snoopers?

As far as i know you can't put them in bags, because everytime a miner brings a hugger to Xenobio it's in a locker

You can put them in bags.

Yes, you can.

Use them like any other variable. $filters is a vector, though

$language = 1
$say = "hisses"
$filters = vector("robot","wacky")/whatever

What happens if you turn off the coolers/freezers in the server room/telecoms? Does it actually do anything such as making the machines overheat or is it just for fluff/to make it less griefable?

Also do the machines themselves create heat and radiate it to their surroundings?

The cooling is just fluff. The machines themselves don't produce heat, although if I remember correctly they did in the past, which is why it was supercooled.

For bonus points, put a couple of mousetraps in there so they click-drag the bag onto the floor to try and "outsmart" you.

how do/can you restore the laws on an emagged borg without blowing it up?

TheNightingale · Wed Aug 05, 2015 12:04 am

Blowing it destroys the MMI; instead, lock it down, deconstruct it, then rebuild it again.

Maxcap bombs. How do I make them?

Nobody knows for sure. Well, maybe Oldman does, but he's so focused on his 2robust4u that he won't tell for fear of losing his edge.

It's easy but I won't say it because the less amount of people that know, the better.

I'unno man, that's kinda going down the route of goon and their fuckin' "secret" chems.

If it's a balance issue or whatever then it should be fixed in code, not obfuscating the technique so only a secret cool club can know how to do it.

Well, Remie is working on it from the mathematical side and will probably publish it once done.

Don't think so, There's like two next to the singularity and two next to gravgen, 4 should be enough for whatever you're planning hopefully?

ChangelingRain · Tue Aug 11, 2015 10:19 pm

There are also two in the engineering entrance, so you don't even have to go into engineering to get them.
It's still one less door to go in from engineering maint, though.

Wed Aug 12, 2015 2:07 am

I think there might be a cargo crate with them in it too

Standard technique, but use cold O2. I'll let you work out the kinks.

DemonFiren · Post by **DemonFiren** » Wed Aug 12, 2015 8:52 am #111752

If by "standard" you mean "use fuckhot plasma and fuckcold O2", no, that produces wet farts.

CPTANT · Post by **CPTANT** » Wed Aug 12, 2015 12:14 pm #111789

plasma of 1000 degrees celsius, oxygen of -100 degrees.

both tanks filled to the max

maxcap guaranteed.

If you place heat transfer pipes under tiles, will they transfer heat through tiles?

Miauw · Post by **Miauw** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 10:57 am #112050

good question.

Screemonster · Thu Aug 13, 2015 11:31 pm

How do I make an actually worthwhile single-tank bomb without canisterbombing myself in the process?
900kPa of 500k plasma and 100kPa of room-temp oxygen was a fart.
Same ratio of 1000k plasma and 70k oxygen went off with a 3,6,13 as soon as I opened the valve on the oxygen canister.

DemonFiren · Post by **DemonFiren** » Fri Aug 14, 2015 12:17 am #112212

It was already written above: Use a heater to get plasma up to 1000°C, a cooler to get oxygen down to -100°C.
Fill both tanks to the brim.

I had that mix fart on me once because lel bugs, but it went off just fine (maxcap) otherwise.

Single tank, not TTV.

Make it in chemistry. it's a 1:1 mixture of orange juice and oil.

How to you fix internal fire in a mech?
Bomb explosion caused a fire in my mech, I repaired it immediately to 100% but the fire wouldn't stop.

From the mech control panel, like all the other stupid malfunctions

Just press the wrap button when youre standing over somebody, then press lay eggs.

Holy shit, I tried everything except that.
Including dragging them onto a web, laying a web on them, dragging the web onto them.

Any good stuff to throw into the 'new' recycler to get some early gold and silver for upgrades and posibrains?
Foam dart matter multiplaction is a thing of the past.

Malkevin · Post by **Malkevin** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 11:32 am #116129

How is that still a thing?

I remember trying to add material crates to cargo, prohibitively expensive mind, and it getting shut down because it being too easy a way for science to get materials

Yet here we literally have something that shits gold

Using a conveyor belt, it's easier than ever. Micro-manipulators are cheap and easy to produce, but they require a little pixel-hunting; I prefer basic matter bins.

Just build a conveyor belt under the protolathe so you don't have to click anything.

I don't think you are understanding what I am asking. The recycler was changed to not magically create materials - it now depends on the item that gets recycled. https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/pull/11469

@Malkevin: I am all for research having to rely on mining. But the recycler did have its uses as a source for metal, glass and (frankly too much) gold and silver.
You need gold and silver in things like hyper cap cells for borgies, posibrains - and auto cloning.

Malkevin · Post by **Malkevin** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 1:34 pm #116136

My problem with it was that it made materials out of nothing, it was like alchemy making lead into gold.

Silly Giacom code, at least it now works like I said it should.

Research and development console can be emagged. What does it actually do?

Malkevin · Post by **Malkevin** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 8:22 am #116692

Probably removes the restrictions on the settings page and decon analyzer.

Protolathe and circuit printers were always all access though...

As a quartermaster who often makes RnD in the cargo bay, no part of RnD is access locked.

Malkevin · Post by **Malkevin** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 8:57 am #116698

So you can sync the research levels now?

Cool. At one point I was going to stick a protolathe in Cargo.
