Bottom post of the previous page:

the wiki says you can hack a c4 (and thus make the whole motion sensor thing) but the last time I tried it didn't work. I screwdrived it open, but then using a multitool on it did nothing, and using it in hand just brought up the window where you set the timer.

you have to use an assembly item on it iirc, like a signaller

Bartender is actually just an alcoholic chemist. Glasses are beakers and the mixer is a large beaker. Here's a couple tricks I've found.

Unless someone comes in with science googles ONLY YOU know what is in a drink due to the beer goggles. As traitor this proves to be very handy.

If your drink has a neat sprite (like syndicate bomb, changling sting, etc) it will look like that sprite as long as its the majority of the glass it is in.

There's a lot more to bartender if you really look into it. I got way too carried away and calculated how much for a given drink will kill you the other day using simple math and testing on myself.

I like some of the subtle effects of certain drinks too that aren't mentioned on the wiki, for instance Barefoot. It heals brute damage under a certain, but obvious condition.

Speaking of that, I know you can craft shells, but can you add anything to a tech shell? Like for a classic rocksalt shot, or capasin for stun shell without the electric?

Alright lad
Cuba Libre heals revolutionaries, and only revolutionaries. Dunno about headrevs though.
Barefoot heals your brute damage, and quite a decent amount too but only while you're not wearing shoes.
Syndicate bomb has a small chance of playing an explosion sound when drunk.
Demon's Blood and Devil's Kiss makes any nearby Salughter Demons drain your life I *think*. That one i'm not so sure about.
The something fizz (I can't remmeber it's name of the top of my head, the glass looks like a magnet) makes you attract loose bits of ore to your person.
Anti-freeze warms you up enough to survive in space, if you don't mind stumbling about drunkenly so I wouldn't recommend it.
Iced tea cools you down if you're overheated and heals toxin damage better than tea does.
Changeling Sting causes Changelings to rapidly regenerate their chemical storage while it's in their system.

That's all I can recall off the top of my head

Zilenan91 · Post by **Zilenan91** » Sat Apr 16, 2016 11:45 pm #169134

That Changeling Sting tip actually sounds really useful

If only changelings weren't boring and/or disabled

Cuba libre is both and same for each. Heals all stats and O2 loss.
Demon's Blood and Devil's kiss have each its own effect. One prevents you from being sucked into demon pools and the other causes brute damage to the demon who eats you but i cant recall what does what.
Screwdrivers heal rad damage for engineers

The wiki is pretty outdated in a lot of places. I'd gladly do edits if I am able too

Zilenan91 · Post by **Zilenan91** » Sun Apr 17, 2016 5:44 am #169173

yeah, it has a 20% chance per tick to heal 1 toxin. Cream is the same with brute, tomato juice does it for burn, and OJ does it for oxygen.

What's a good drink for a detective? I generally go with hard whiskey or a rum and coke for the sake of being hardboiled, but if any seekrit drinks heal him in particular or give security-related benefits it'd be handy to know.

Zilenan91 · Post by **Zilenan91** » Sun Apr 17, 2016 7:05 am #169180

There aren't any drinks that heal the detective in particular but there probably should be.

ImaTowel · Post by **ImaTowel** » Sun Apr 17, 2016 7:28 am #169184

I second that. Maybe the detective should have a tolerance to that certain drink too? When I've served the detective as bartender the drink of choice is always whiskey based so maybe a ninja update where the whiskey base alcohols heal certain damages up to the 50% threshold (Whiskey straight (on the rocks), Whiskey sour, Whiskey Cola, etc.)

Pilgrim · Post by **Pilgrim** » Sun Apr 17, 2016 7:48 am #169187

Yeah, the detective should be a hard drinker and not get drunk off a couple sips of hard liquor as he currently does.

I support making the detective start the round as an alcoholic with the ability to wean himself off as the round progresses or remain as such with the added bonus of never vomiting or slurring his speech when drunk.

The Manhattan's description calls it the Detective's drink of choice. It's got whiskey in it too.

A lot of them you got right, here's the corrections:

Demon's Blood prevents you from being pulled into blood pools by a demon, you're 100% safe while you have some in your system.
Devil's kiss just fucks the demon up if it tries to pull you in (25 brute to the demon, and lets you go)
Fetching fiz? - Pulls all ores nearby(3 turfs) towards you every Life() tick (it's a step, not a throw, so you won't get hurt)

This works with any storage container in your backpack as well. Try dragging your box from your backpack onto yourself. It'll open and you'll be able to both put items in and take them out.

The syndie cigarettes are incredibly robust as they are filled with omnizine. You can guarantee you'll walk away alive from anything that doesn't kill you instantly, and people tend not to pay attention to your cigarette box if you keep it somewhere unsuspicious such as your pockets. Also, they only cost 1 or 2 crystals so you really have no excuse.
