Poly engine

Post by Smoopadoop » #194547

When poly eats too many crackers, it should begin to be able to be harnessed for power. If this is too easy to do then perhaps poly's powers should be activated by a special bluespace cracker or some shit. Bluespace crystal + Cracker? Eh idk.

25 crackers: Poly begins to emit an weak electrical field. All cells (or any appliances which can hold power) near poly slowly charge up, by crackers*0.1 Watts per second.

50 crackers: Poly begins to emit a weak amount of hawking radiation, which can power the singularity's Radiation Collectors, with a power of crackers*2 Watts. Poly will begin to glow, with its light strength proportionate to the amount of
crackers eaten,

75 crackers: Poly begins to generate solar electricity, with the power of 200W per cracker. Poly transfers this power to any wire which poly sits above.

100: Poly begins to grow in size and maximum health, per cracker. Poly will randomly pull a random item nearby towards it, with frequency and pull strength depending on crackers eaten. Poly cannot be harmed by anything it pulls into itself.

125: Poly is on its way to attaining godhood. Poly will now husk any corpses it comes across. One body is worth 5 crackers. Poly remembers who donates bodies. The last person to harm a body (while it was alive), OR the last person to drag it
(while it was dead) is considered the donator. Dragging overwrites harming.

150: Poly will grant all body-donators periodic small buffs. Nobody knows how.

175: Poly's insatiable hunger for crackers grows stronger. Poly will now pull all crackers on this Z-level towards it. Crackers being pulled by poly will pass through all obstacles harmlessly. Poly will automatically eat any crackers obtained
through this method.

200: Poly now vaporizes all corpses it absorbs. Corpses are now worth 10 crackers.

225: Poly's powers are growing. If somebody donates five bodies to poly, that person will become an Acolyte of Poly and can heal themselves by eating crackers.

250: Poly can not stop growing. NOTHING can stop poly growing. All things which hit poly ONLY after being pulled towards poly now suffer the same effects of touching a supermatter crystal, allowing poly to be harnessed as a supermatter
engine. This means that poly generates heat and plasma while eating. Each thing destroyed is worth one cracker. Bodies are still worth 10, if destroyed by poly's supermatter properties. All crackers being pulled to Poly through its 175
cracker upgrade will now pass through humans harmfully, and will bring any bodies it hits with it, into poly's reach. Imagine assassinating somebody by slipping a cracker into their pocket.

275: Poly is a god. If the round is cult and Nar'Sie has been summoned, Nar'Sie will seek out poly and fight it, as he would fight Ratvar. Cultists cannot win until Poly has been slain.

300: Poly is the lord of all. All Acolytes of Poly will be upgraded to cultists, with their sole objective being to get poly to 1000 crackers. These cultists possess the same power as Nar'Sie cultists, but cannot summon Nar'Sie. All Poly cultist
equipment is cracker-themed.

Poly's powers will continue to grow with crackers, but poly will gain no more upgrades, unless you nerds can think of any.
Nothing special happens when poly reaches 1000 crackers, other than poly cultists greentexting.

This is the dumbest shit I've ever written but I've been inspired ever since I heard the words "poly engine", when poly was updated to speak more when fed crackers.

If someone can re-do this to not be fucking retarded, or maybe to actually be balanced, then please for the love of god make changes to this. I'm sure this is already imbalanced as fuck.

The Quantime unCeArTainty Engine

I want an engine you can feed monkeys, corgis, bodies, Clowns and Lizards to for power.
And for the turbine engine to be able to run off of plasmapeople burning ad infinitium.

I want an engine running on assistants.
I also want an engine running on command staff and security, for when it's rev time.

Sounds balanced and reasonable to me, given how rare crackers are.

on the arrival shuttle, I saw the iconic toolbox on the ground. I clubbed myself in the head with it trying to figure out the controls.
Setting the tool box, now bloodied, back on the table; I went to heal myself with a medkit. I clubbed myself in the head with that too.
I've come a long ways from asking how to switch hands.

The HoP just toolboxes someone to death out of nowhere, then gets speared by a chemist who saw him murder a guy, then the chemist gets beaten to death because someone else saw him kill the HoP.
Tele-man somehow dies and gets its looted by an atmos tech who managed to use it to send two nuke ops to lavaland, who were then surrounded by several very angry people from earlier and some extra golems on top of it.
Captain dies, gets cloned/revived, lasers the guy holding the disk into crit to take it back.

Two permabans and a dayban, i'm expecting a snarky appeal from one of them soon. What the fuck.
