since hearts are removable, I thought it woudl be interesting if Heart disease could be a condition that could show up like Appendicitis. Heart attacks and the like are possibly under certain circumstances. Heart failure can be solved with a defib. And heart transplants. Except when you take out the bad heart you need to put a new one in.

Also Augmented hearts that prevent (or maybe reduce) bleed damage and toxin damage, but cause heart attacks when electrocuted or EMP'd.

New attachment for assemblies like a signaler or prox sensor, but it's set off by shock. You can put it on a table, pick it up, shove it in a container. But the moment you throw it and it hits something, it triggers it. Assemblies made with this attachment have to be primed before the shock sensor triggers an assembly. That way, that flashbang+space lube+morphine smoke grenade doesn't go off when you throw it at the HoS when you hook him up with crowd control materials. I'd like for the shock sensor to toggle between collision or a momentum function, so it can be set off by actually hitting something(floating through space and bumps into something) or just being thrown by anything and then suddenly becoming stationary (disposal chutes, air cannon, mass driver, throwing by hand, sorium). Does not go off if it's caught unless it's set to momentum and it is as common as a voice analyzer.

Bananium makes you HONK after saying things, and speaking over a megaphone with bananium in your system should set off a HONKblaster blast.

Shooting someone point-blank in the head with a shotgun should knock them over for a very short time.

Vomitting with CF3 in your body should release a trail of flames for as far as you can see.

injecting a basketball with sorium should make it bounce and ricochet off walls and slam into people, knocking them down like Beepsky.

Having salt in your body should make you 'whine' and 'cry' things instead of saying them. Ghosts are made of salt.

Liquid dark matter in your body should make it impossible to set you on fire, but deals some oxyloss, make you gasp and sound like you're choking.

Sorium in your body should clear make you vomit over and over until it's completely gone from your system, but nothing can embed in you.

Liquid dark matter and sorium should consume each other and create 'unstable energetic matter', and having that in your body should slowly deal brute damage as it tosses you back and forth down the hallways. Having 50 units of unstable energetic matter or more in your body is an insta-gib.

Bullets should deal most damage via embedding, otherwise count as an object hitting you. Embedded bullets should create their own specific rate of bleeding based on caliber and type which will stack depending on number of wounds and shot placement. Bandage can significantly stop bleeding but cannot be fully healed without surgical removal/extraction. Certain cartridges can be armour-piercing and bypass shields fully or even both. It would give medbay surgery a purpose, and would make bullet wounds dependent on bleeding and stamina. It's sorta shit to see bullets drop people on the spot, as opposed to eating lead and running away in a panick only to make it about 6 tiles away before you drop from the bleeding. Guns are deadly, yo.

Bullets should also slightly crack windows and pass through only once without losing any power, then do what they normally do, depending on caliber. Most pistol cartridges shouldn't do this, but all the other large cartridges should easily. What if they got slowed down by every collision and the slower, the less of a chance of embedding the projectile has? Then they just dump their energy and cause a good bit of actual bruising and that's it.

I don't know how minor this actually would be to implement, but could the CE get a special RCD that doubles as an RPD? In low pop rounds where there aren't enough people to repair the multiple holes, or rounds where all of my engineers and atmos techs are incapacitated/thralled/rev/cultist/lazy I end up having to fix holes by myself and because RCDs and RPDs don't fit in pockets or boxes it can get annoying having to carry both around with me at all times.

Hacky, but you can create an item that LOOKS like an RPD or an RCD, (preferably some transformers-esque mix of the two) that contains both an RPD and an RCD inside it, and when interacted with swaps between the RCD and the RPD, and any time it's used like an RCD or RPD, it simply asks it's internal RCD/RPD to do the work. (Sort of like Hardsuit internal jetpacks)

Wouldn't really work with some serious tweaking because attack_self swaps what mode the rcd is in and brings up the menu on rpds

Which Is why I wrote "interacted with" and not attack_self(), since I already foresaw this.
An Action button, is what it would probably be.

You could have a all around engineering tool that the CE gets. More or less a big ass rifle type thing.

Has a RCD, and RPD modes
Has a R-WCD (Reinforced - Wall Construction Device) Takes around 45 seconds to build a unfinished rwall, another 15 seconds to finish the entire wall.
Has a T-ray function
Alerts of atmospheric breaches, fire alarms, and toxins alerts are also played over the device
Holds 300 units worth of matter (takes matter cartriages)
Has a wiring mode (Insert coils of wire into the back of it, same as a backpack)
Has a holding slot (more or less the asscessory function) for a multitool that functions as a actual multi tool not "lol wires" multitool, like actual screwdriver, wrench (plyers), wirecutters, and functions as a normal multitool
Has a crowbar built into the stock, acts as a normal crowbar when used on crowbar-able objects
Has a experimental welder built into the barrel (refuel by clicking on tanks, holds 500 units of fuel)
Locks up if no one with the job "Chief Engineer" is not holding it, to prevent chucklefucks from mass spamming walls and shit everywhere, can be unlocked with a emag or any other head ID.
Has a STB radio also built in

Assuming this has a fuck ton of features, instead of making it a clusterfuck by not adding a UI menu, just have it where if you click on it, it will ask for your ID (only once, checking if you are the CE) and pop up with a menu to activate/deactivate/eject one or all of the features, or turn on one of the features.

The CE gets one, and only one of these. He can fit it in suit storage, his back, or his belt.

Also, some random flavor name IE: "The ACD-55x Experimental Construction Device"

*also a traitor objective/restricted item

Are you serious? It takes two metal and two plasteel to drop an r-wall on the ground in 5 seconds manually.

Can we please stop having forced traitor/ling when LITERALLY no one has antag enabled? It should default to extended, or just let people who join mid-shift be antags. We shouldn't be forced to play a round when everyone else on the server wants to enjoy themselves in a slower paced setting.

Couldn't the antagonists just... not do their objectives? I may be wrong, but I don't think "not attempting to win" is a rule-breaking offence for solo antagonists, only for team ones.

You should be able to implant the following items into your chest cavity:

2. Pinpointer (Shows up on the Hud)
3. Station Bounced Radio (Freq. can't be changed once in cavity, can turn it off and on though)

Dragging or grabbing someone should show you as walking backwards, as if you were facing the object. It'd help distinguish that someone is actually pulling someone, instead of being followed very closely or chased by them. More user feedback!

Last i checked you can put a radio in there. Great for a permenant surviellence device if you put on on a private channel into a suspected traitor's chest

Yo the easiest way to get out of the gulag is certainly not mining towards minerals, the easiest way is to mine out a three by three, dig sand in a three by three, repeat. 45 points a pop plus whatever metal gets in your way.

I suggest that if you click a station layout sign (those two tiled one's near arrivals) that it opens a overall image of the station, not only telling you the name (and colour code) of each department but telling you where you are.

E: This should change for each unique station, to help newer people figure out where everything is.

We already have minimap generation, so we could use that, that way it auto updates if the map is physically changed and everything. Frankly I've already tried to do this. The minimap system is just a LITTLE mystic to me right now.
