People keep suggesting that a Traitor/Malf AI get the power to stand up and walk. Even after I added the mech dom power, people still ask for this. One day I will have to code this somehow.

I was more suggesting it as a goof.

In reality I'd prefer a buyable AI shell power

FantasticFwoosh · Sun Jul 23, 2017 8:29 pm

You could just make the shell a shuntable silicon borg (because mechs are slow to turn and often have ineffective weapons unless they are AOE)

Though the way i see it, its give them a inch and they'll take a mile and it might end up to devolving the AI's "shell" having hands or being used to run around and grief

Anonmare · Post by **Anonmare** » Sun Jul 23, 2017 9:44 pm #319558

I was more suggesting an AI shell as something you can buy in the event you don't have any borgs for a round and you have the robot army objective. You kind of need one borg at minimum to even try to do that objective.

Also when I say AI shell, I'm referring to borgs with a BORIS module instead of an MMI

The B.O.R.I.S., or "Bluespace Optimized Remote Intelligence Synchronization", is an item that replaces the MMI in cyborg (in this case, robot) bodies to allow the AI to control them. They are called AI shells. The AI can control robots outfitted with a B.O.R.I.S. as if it were playing as the robot itself. Think of AI shells as slime people would think of their extra bodies. The difference here, is that if the AI's core is damaged or depowered, the link will be reset. (The AI does not leave its core, it is simply controlling the shells like RC toys.)

It is funny, I named it that because of these comments: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/ ... -276685584, yet I had no idea who Boris was or had seen any of his videos! It is only much later that I looked him up. I am still glad I took that name, because Boris is hilarious!

Health monitor implants that announce over the medical channel whenever the implantee falls into crit, as well as stating their location plus coordinates at the moment of crit. If EMP'd, it is destroyed. Requires silver and gold, injected the same way as a chem/mindshield/tracking implant.

I believe Steelpoint wanted this for Security Officers! By the way, you can do an inferior version of this through the health thing you can get from the autolathe. There is just nothing you can use to transmit a radio message or alarm with assemblies.

Anonmare · Post by **Anonmare** » Tue Jul 25, 2017 3:32 pm #320109

That might be a thought. Perhaps there could be a crating option to combine a recorder, radio (headset or SBR) and signal assembly to transmit messages. Preferably with a way to send it to the message to departmental channels

There's a sprite for bedsheet ghosts in the code already,

Allow augmented body parts to accept surgical implants directly. Apply screwdriver to open the panel or screwdriver to remove the previous organ, slot in the matching implant/cybernetic organ, and you are done! If you have, say, an augmented head, you could pop out your eyes with a crowbar, and insert robotic ones! Something like a nutriment implant, you could just screw upon your chest and insert it!

Anonmare · Post by **Anonmare** » Thu Jul 27, 2017 7:50 pm #320846

To be honest I thought Gunhog was talking about applying cybernetic implants directly into the augment prior to being put onto someone. Like printing off some welding shield eyes, popping a HUD into them and do two surgeries in one.

Why not both? That would be fantastic, except that adding replacement organs means that code issues could happen!

Cybernetic hearts never become damaged and are always defibbable so long as the ghost occupies the body and the external body is not damaged, however the heart will explode inside the user if shocked with a emagged defibrilator.

Make it so that if you lose your ear organ, you're uncoordinated and prone to collapsing due to the loss of balance from losing your inner ear.
Add cybernetic ears to R&D, when EMP'd they make you deaf AND disorientated but recover from non-genetic deafness faster.
Add regular cybernetic eyes to R&D that recover slightly quicker from temporary blindness and are extremely cheap and quick to fabricate, but possess a vulnerability to EMPs.

Have the limb grower machine be able to grow organic organs in addition to organic limb.
Make it so that upgrading a chem master will allow it to produce patches, pills and bottles with greater capacity. A fully upgraded chem master could produce 100u patches and 80u pills and 50u bottles.

Emagged genetics machines will lock the next living thing that uses it on Occupant:Delayed inside it and repeatedly bombard them with radiation until the being in it has ceased to be alive
Emagged cloners, that are not in the process of cloning someone, will produce horrible mutants of varying strength, durability, speed and appearance that are aggressive to all living things in the same amount of time it takes to produce a 50% complete human. Upgraded cloners will be more likely to produce the most dangerous mutants.

Remie made some body horror spirtes a long time ago that might be appropiate

Make legs and arms swappable via surgery.

FantasticFwoosh · Tue Aug 01, 2017 8:56 am

Adding monkey limbs via surgery turns you into bigfoot with hairy arms/legs etc. And during jungle fever monkey rounds, your limbs will convert into these and when you're fully transformed there's only a small window of time before you turn into a monkey fully.

They are. I was a mediborg one round and I made frankensteins out of some left over corpses. I had a catperson lizard with plasmaman limbs and no tail, a podperson cat-tailed with a mixture of human and lizard limbs and a couple of other strange and horrible combinations.

The CMO was horrified.

FantasticFwoosh · Tue Aug 01, 2017 3:59 pm

Amateur, but i think they were more referencing it in a LITERAL way of swapping the position of your legs and arms from the same person.

You've never revived a lone brain entirely out of spare morgue parts and auguments or stiched a 70 year old hobo Bryce Pax's head onto the body of a recently de-monkified Miss Nanotren 2264 model with big ta'tas?

Also stitched-together bodies should require a chemical solution and an electric shock to revive.

Strange reagent and defib for a forced revive, sort of like a plant person?

Its a overcomplicated additional step really.

I wish synthflesh patches could be used on bodies again. Synthflesh patches could be used to restore the body to a serviceable condition then you can use the reagent to bring them back to this mortal coil to suffer once more.

FantasticFwoosh · Tue Aug 01, 2017 8:46 pm

I heard on the grapevine that freshly implanted cybernetic hearts allow fresh defibrilations of long dead bodies. I sort of wish you could install a CDN rebooter directly INTO the cybernetic heart (or a upgraded version) to automatically try jolting the body to revive or get out of crit by hotwiring the body into action.

Why not just allow igniter + desired trigger to be attached to the tank? You should not need a welder, just an igniter for the spark, and something else (such as a timer) for the trigger!

I was just thinking about if you wanted a consistent burn, like leaving a couple of rigged up welders out of sight in preparation for a plasma flood.

Also autolathes should be able to sync up to the research network and be able to produce non-restricted gear that's made out of metal and glass (restricted stuff will need to be manually loaded by disk like normal)
