Bottom post of the previous page:

Disk in a wallet, in a box full of wallets, in a briefcase full of boxes, in a BoH full of briefcases in a locker full of BoHs. Said locker is ID-locked, welded, double-parked, anchored and underneath an active AI core within the AI Upload which is reinforced with max security, bolted, welded doors and turrets set to lethal with the turret control panel placed on the inside.

don't forget putting mousetraps fucking everywhere just to add insult to injury

for extra flair put a grenade in the box with the disk and a mousetrap signaler. Sure you might have to grab the pinpointer and go disk-hunting when it goes boom but the image of the ops searching through a pile of bullshit and tossing empty wallets everywhere only for their prize to get blown the fuck up as soon as they find it is too good

Even better leave the locker in a room full of welded, ID locked lockers, all of the ones that don't have the disk in them have mousetrap triggered maxcaps

I feel a little ashamed about asking it, but how do you open medkits and boxes with one arm?

Steelpoint · Post by **Steelpoint** » Sat Jun 24, 2017 12:23 pm #311871

Can't you either place it in your backpack, or place it on the floor, and click-drag the Medkit onto your character to open it up?

Steelpoint · Post by **Steelpoint** » Sat Jun 24, 2017 12:42 pm #311872

My question is why can't Atmo Techs place Firesuits in their backpacks anymore?

I know it was removed a while ago but I can't recall the reason.

It kinda depreciates the Atmo Firesuit, why bother with it when the Atmo Hardsuit does the same thing but is also fully space worthy? If the Atmo Firesuits could be placed in your backpack at least it would be a good reason to use them over the Hardsuit.

Grazyn · Post by **Grazyn** » Sat Jun 24, 2017 1:06 pm #311875

Because firesuits can be found in public fire lockers as well, and everyone would grab and keep one in the backpack in case of fire if they were small enough to fit

Steelpoint · Post by **Steelpoint** » Sat Jun 24, 2017 1:07 pm #311876

No I'm talking about the two Atmo Firesuits, not the common one's found all over the station.

How do I add pictures to a PDA message?
Also, does giving someone a limb replacement cause that arm to give that person's fingerprints or the arm's original owner's fingerprints when touching items?

Do syringe guns punch through security vests?

Professor Hangar · Mon Jun 26, 2017 12:11 pm

I don't think so, shotgun darts can't. R&D can make Piercing Syringes presumably for exactly that purpose.

How exactly do Health Sensors work? Can they be used to make dead man's switches?

Steelpoint · Post by **Steelpoint** » Mon Jun 26, 2017 12:58 pm #312365

I'm pretty certain syringes will puncture everything except Hardsuits, bio suits and fire suits. Also I think Riot Shields have a RNG chance to block them as well.

A health sensor will monitor the bearer's health and trigger when they go into crit or die. The former is the default setting, you can toggle between the two by using a multitool on it.

I like to make synthflesh and epinephrine smoke grenades by applying a health sensor/igniter assembly to a grenade casing, when I hand these out a large proportion of the recipients will tell me later how it saved them and in the event of mass casualties you can heal a bunch of them at once by standing in the middle of the carnage and bashing your head in.
A grenade manufactured in this way will start off deactivated; so if you make one don't forget to trigger it, to bring up the sensor readout, and switch it on from there.

Professor Hangar · Tue Jun 27, 2017 7:08 am

The igniter part is the one I had trouble with, that makes sense now.

So a Health Sensor+Signaller assembly should transmit a dead man's switch signal, right?

DemonFiren · Post by **DemonFiren** » Tue Jun 27, 2017 7:37 am #312594

It should.

Come to think about it, those things should only work in pockets or belt slots, or anywhere else close to the skin.

what is a void cell and how can i acquire one

DireVictory wrote:what is a void cell and how can i acquire one

They're abductor power cells with infinite power. You can only get them by getting lucky with the experimentor machine in science as far as I know.

Steelpoint · Post by **Steelpoint** » Tue Jun 27, 2017 1:53 pm #312622

I've heard you can get them from the experimentor via the irradiate function from OOC, but I've yet to actually acquire anything of note from the experimentor.

At best you can 'discover' strange objects and maybe get a level 5 research in a random field, but I've yet to actually get anything from testing any other objects outside of them exploding.

Should be the same as a bluespace power cell.

As I understand it, they function like a mix between bluespace cells and yellow slime cores.

whats the objective recipe for maxcaps? my current go-to is
>3 66/30 plasma/oxy canisters burned and pumped into an empty canister, let it cook till done
>800u lowest possible oxy temp in an oxy tank then max pressure fill the rest with normal plasma (about 1870 kpa total)
>50u normal plasma in plasma tank then fill up to 1012u with superheated gas

is this correct or am i doing something wrong?

edit: also, is the xenobio guide on the wiki up to date?

Deconstruct 2 science goggles (or analyser + goggles), print 2 high power lasers and rped, upgrade heater, heat plasma canister to ~450 °C, cool O2 canister to -200 °C, fill 2 empty tanks from those

You don't even need to upgrade the heater.

1. Connect oxygen to freezer- You will need two oxygen canisters in order to make six maxcaps.
2. Set it to -181 C, or about 90 kelvin.
3. Disconnect the oxygen canister, put a new one on.
4. (Optional) Pipe the oxygen into one big canister.
5. Wrench up the pipes connecting to the freezer, decon the freezer and screwdriver the board to make it a heater. Put everything back together.
6. Attach one plasma canister to it, max it out. Wait until it gets to about 299 C.
7. While you're waiting on the plasma, take 6 each of plasma and oxygen tanks and drain them all at a portable pumps.
8. Fill them with their respective gas, then put them on the tank transfer valve. Five minute maxcaps.

Neither did I slow down nor did I get hurt. I assume my spessmanheart was going to kasplode if I guzzled down more but I'd really like to know, what is the coffee overdose?

...

Code: Select all

/datum/reagent/consumable/coffee/overdose_process(mob/living/M)
	M.Jitter(5)
	..()

I checked the code.
You "OD" on coffee at 80u and it looks like it just makes you shake.

The only other non-drugs/medicine I could find that you could OD on were sugar at 200u, godsblood at 150, and spraytan at 11.

also, cant you get weapons 7 in-house (i.e. not leaving sci)? once i get up through phazon torso/piercing syringe what do i do next? iirc it has to do with the medbeam gun but i cant unlock it with that much. does it require laz or can i work on it?

Speaking of, I can never quite get the hang of how grenades work; say I want to make some flavour of holy hand grenade that spreads holy water over all tiles in radius; how would that work? (I know how to make a holy explosion, and do so at every opportunity)

Also, if you want a literal holy hand grenade, add potassium and holy water to the grenade, it causes an explosion, reveals revenants, and sets cultists on fire!
