As long as there have been spessmens and they have lived, they have all felt the tragic ambiguity of their condition, but as long as there have been assistants and they have greytided, most of them have tried to mask it.

if you can id the original source on that i'll be your friend

Tell R&D to do their job and you'll be able to make more. Flashes got made to require research for some godawful reason.

If that fails, you can harvest two from the HoPline and outside security access with a pair of wirecutters. Or tell an engie borg to bring you the sec-vend and hack it to be all access so you can vend your own flashes

They're in the exofab only to be precise, don't ask them to print it from the protolathe. There may also be a cargo crate with flashes, but i'm not sure.

If you mean frying a container of deep fried food that's not doublefry at all.

You can spam fried fried fried fried in the name by frying something, adding it to a custom base food like bread, then fry the bread and repeat ad libitum. Fried food always becomes small enough to be added to a base.

Ah but see, again, you're not deep frying it again, you're just deep frying a container it's inside of (for example, I considered cheese my do it because of cheese wheel nuke disk memes)
But yes the name thing should be fixed.

just a simple if(findtext(name, "fried")) return or some such.

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

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?

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.

Re: Simple Questions Thread

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

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

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?

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.

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?

It should.

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

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.

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.
