If you target the mouth then attack your self with a cig packet you'll get a cig in the mouth, one handed.

You can open the cigarette packet while it's in your pocket by clicking and dragging it onto yourself.

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.

You can drag it onto your actual sprite to open it like you would a backpack

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.

Reminder to ahelp if people dunk you because of your syndie smokes.

So, I've persuaded Oldman to do a little testing on thunderdome, and we've found out:

1) Xenomorphs can be converted by cult. They can also use cult telepathy just fine and understand people through it too.
2) Holoparasites can be converted by cult
3) Cyborgs and AI can be converted by cult
4) MMI, intellicards, positronics can't be converted.

I wonder how does it work with gangs and other conversion antags. In the next episode of mythbusters, we'll find out!

Anonmare · Post by **Anonmare** » Fri May 13, 2016 7:40 pm #176283

I was under the impression Cyborgs and AIs couldn't be converted? Sacced yes, but conversion wasn't doable unless I missed a memo

Well these 3 are items, so of course they can't be converted.
(Everything else you've mentioned is a mob primarily, these 3 are 3 mobs sat INSIDE of an item, thus you can't get to them to convert them)

What about blob?

Remie Richards · Fri May 13, 2016 7:45 pm

Blobs are /obj/effect/blob, the overmind is an invisible eye camera, it's not /living so it can't be converted, plus it would have to WANT to be converted (or you get lucky and catch it in the rune as it moves, which is hard as you can't see it)

Oh, and as roboticist, you can augment any body part with any cyborg body part. That means if you don't want to spend ridiculous amounts of metal on people, you can augment everything they've got with a stack of arms. They're also quicker to produce than torsos or heads, and the surplus can be used to make bots.

Is this still true?

Survival capsules work in space, Mining spess fort is doable with some lattices and a couple of survival pods.

Laharl Monthy · Tue May 17, 2016 7:55 pm

Due to the way bomb processing works now, it's possible to survive being in OBLITERATION range of the bomb, or avoid any damage.

The bomb processes row by row - if you're lucky enough, you can actually run between two processing, and not get damaged, apart from space cold.

Seems like a serious bug to me, but there we go.

You should be able to still sac them, if not then it's a bug and you ought to report it to Git. There's a freeze on so it ought to get fixed.

This mechanic has another flaw: If you happen to be caught in the center of a high devastation blast with bomb armor, you will be thrown at high speed away from it (but stripped and killed). There is a chance that you can be hit again by the explosion as it loops outwards as you are traveling away from the first blast. This leads you to be gibbed, completely negating your bomb armor. I reported this a long time ago, but I was dismissed and the issue was declared as not a bug. https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/issues/12758

how to kill literally any blob that has a core exposed to space:

do your part, exterminate the blob menace as quickly as possible so we can actually play a good gamemode.

Post by **MMMiracles** » Sat May 28, 2016 3:51 am #181090

i'm guessing if you're strapped for diamond you can probably do some manipulation with corner reflectors to squeeze a few more emitters in there if you really hate the blob and want it over quickly.

spread the message, end the blubber.

Okand37 · Post by **Okand37** » Sat May 28, 2016 4:56 am #181117

That is actually a super impressive emitter set up. We don't see much of anything like that on basil, jolly show!

Sat May 28, 2016 5:27 am

you wouldnt see that on sybil either since that looks pretty blatantly staged, especially since the emitters have no wiring

it would be extremely impressive to see a setup like that in game though

I have been trying to do that ever since those reflector boxes were added. Whenever I got close to completing the setup, the blob had already died - or the crew failed completely/I never got a diamond.
For added fun, have a few emitters feed into a reflector loop, collecting hundreds of emitter beams before sending them off onto the core all at once.
