On Basil you can have a KA in each hand and double the firing rate by shooting, changing hands, and shooting the second one while the first KA recharges.
On Sybil the KAs will shoot using what I assume is akimbo code - shoot at the same time with less accuracy, but that can be circumvented by putting one KA into the backpack and taking it in hand again makling it recharge, then shooting with another one that so that one is always recharging. I had no idea we had different code for each server and I'm inclined to believe the code is the same and I was hallucinating.

If you put a plasmeme into the chef's gibber it spews plasma sheets.

You might've been using dual wielding on sybil.

And the clown

I'm sure most of these are common knowledge or have been posted before, but I didnt see them on the last few pages so I'll post them anyway.

You can use your PDA without holding it by dragging its icon to your sprite. This lets you activate your flashlight, send messages, or buy traitor gear while the PDA is in your ID slot.

You can use other people/bots/borgs for access by pulling them along with you and moving them into the same tile as the door you want to go through using the alt+click menu thing. You can also throw people into airlocks to open them.

You can "clone" plasmamen by transplanting their brain into a humanized monkey.

You can defib a person immediately after a brain transplant, as removing the brain only deals oxygen damage to the body.

Your PDA will generally start with a few useful functions, deoending on your job. Doctors have a built in medical scanner, chemists have a reagent scanner, etc.

You can use the little airlocks on the slime pens in xenobio for a bit of extra storage space for slimes you want to keep separate from the others.

After you've made friends with the slimes you can say "Hello, slimes" and they'll all say hello back at the same time.

If you need to cryo a bunch of people at once, wrench a nearby shower so it is freezing, throw the people in cryo and wait until you see them heal a bit. Then open cryo and put the person under the cold shower. Repeat, you can stack multiple people in the shower at once if they're laying down.

You can weld glass shards to get back sheets of glass.

You can refill the RCDs using sheets of metal and glass

You're immune to tesla bolts if you're wearing a hardsuit and insulated gloves.

You can speed clone people by either cutting power to equipment through the APC while someone is being cloned or using an ID on the cloning pod after it reaches 40% and then right clicking it.

If someone is stuck in a sleeper and the power goes out you can crowbar it open.

You can hide in disposals if you turn them off first.

The green lights on the morgue trays indicate if there is still an active ghost for that person's body (meaning they can still be cloned).

You can preform surgery on plasmamen if you keep them under a shower while you do it.

Xeno organs can be implanted into people, giving them special abilities.

You can make yourself into a changeling by making a headslug using gold slimes, then using a rainbow slime to transfer your mind into it and biting your old body.

Mixing cryoxadone with blood makes meat.

The GPS shows the locations of all the megafauna and tendrils on lavaland.

You can grind koibeans to get carpotoxin.

Oh, thats cool! Ive never actually seen anyone use slime commands before, and I accidentally found the Hello one. Stop seems especially useful.

You can also give individuals slimes orders. Just use their number, like say "Hello 361"

If you put a cannibus leaf from botany in a reagent grinder, it will form a cloud of hellish smoke all throughout the area. If it has enough toxin in it, it can damn near insta-crit people.

I learned this by accident.

Edit: This turns out to have been a special case.

You can screw the cap off a foam dart and put a pen in it to make it a 5 brute bullet thats reusable

Botany can make batteries containing the power rating of 400k

so apparently some really unrobust players are still bitching and moaning about morphs so i'm gonna tell you a little secret to killin em with the aid of this handy flowchart

(if you click on it and view it directly its less blurry)

most notable things to take from this:
- PUSHING THE MORPH OFF OF THE VENT BEFORE IT FINISHES CLIMBING IN WHILE ALSO HITTING IT IN THE PROCESS. Morphs generally only go for vents when they're weak/afraid of a strong weapon you have/afraid of a horde, so if you stop them from getting in they'll almost certainly die.
- lurking in areas with corpses/monkeys (which the morph heals off of) when hunting for it

Dumping a bag of holding to a distant tile beams the contents over there, it works to any visible tile and through walls if you use masons. Take you eswording to the next level by beaming your enemies severed heads into space!

This is probably an exploit but really the most efficient way of jellying up your slime-self is to just draw your own blood and reinject it.

The bag dumping has a range limit however so you can't teleport your chem nades to your foes from the comfort of R&D without learning how to do telesci. This is of course bullshit.

I swear every time i tested this it works properly. How the hell are you doing it?

Also, the best method is to get a half plasma half oxygen tank and start huffin'. With a double release pressure of course.

If you're a dirty grey-tide and don't want the cops to get mad at you for having igloves, ram them in the laundry with a crayon. They'll keep their insulating properties but change sprites to whatever color crayon.

Also on the subject of being grey filth, if you wanna kill beepsky alone just use a baseball bat and go homerun on his ass. A competent security team will probably pick up on this but since the bat will bean him out of retaliation range you can leg it and come back when he forgets you. If nobody sets him to arrest unknowns just ditch your ID and wear a gasmask

If you use the Detective's white crayon it makes Latex Gloves somehow.

Rainbow Crayon = Rainbow Gloves and Mime Crayon = ??? (Someone fill me in)

Anonmare · Post by **Anonmare** » Thu Jan 19, 2017 8:26 pm #245775

Mime crayon makes white gloves.

Also you can infinitely snack on a mime and clown crayon for all eternity, effectively meaning you'll always have food.

As a bartender keep a bat behind the bar. When people climb over your bar they'll be stunned and unable to get fully over for a bit. Homerun those grey-tides back over your sturdy counter forcing them to restart the whole process or rethink their ways.
