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.

I mean if you want to do no damage and be outclassed in mining by other tools sure by all means.

You're better off using the blood drunk saw if you want to attack stuff fast and deadly.

how the fuck do you get out of the clown ruins in lavaland? neither of the chutes lead out and all i can think of is using the bluespace peel and praying to rngesus. am i missing something?

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?

I think I used to know this, but I forgot; how does the Chaplain sanctify tiles with holy water?

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!

If you crash land a plane and you and a guy with no feeling or nerves in his legs live, is it more of less evil to wait until he's alseep and then eat his legs than simple cannibalism?

Providing he doesn't notice, build a deep fryer first and sandwich his grilled legs between two loafs of ash bread (weeds and ash mixed with blood & bones) for maximum consumption

you might as well kill him, if you eat his legs he'll die of shock anyways

Thanks for the fast replies.

Next question, what's the best way to painlessly kill a disabled man with a satellite laptop without breaking the laptop?

Remie Richards · Sat Jul 15, 2017 12:49 pm

If this is still the plane crash, don't use the laptop, use part of the wreckage.
Or a rock.

FantasticFwoosh · Sat Jul 15, 2017 1:48 pm

A Nokia phone should do the job well enough.

There is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice that there is one person on the side track. You have two options:

Do nothing, and the trolley kills the five people on the main track.
Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person.
Which is the most ethical choice?

Anonmare · Post by **Anonmare** » Sat Jul 15, 2017 2:57 pm #317069

Switching the tracks when the train is halfway across.
That way, you can get the highest K/D ratio via multi-track drifting

Professor Hangar · Sat Jul 15, 2017 2:59 pm

Jump onto the train, screaming 'WITNESS ME!' at the top of your lungs.

Is the one person black

FantasticFwoosh · Sat Jul 15, 2017 3:27 pm

Throw yourself onto the tracks so that your mangled corpse might buffer to slow down the train when it collides into the 5 people in the hopes that someone will survive.

According to math, the best strategy would be to not pull the lever unless you are only minimizing the deaths of your loved ones and you know the person at the other lever wants to minimize total deaths.

Actually, no. I was going to spawn some pressure tanks into my test server and noticed one named "Oxygen Agent B".
The old as fuck sprite makes me assume it's something that never really got finished.

It's an unfinished/unimplemented gas. Here's an old thead with someone asking about it:
https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4422.

I checked the code and for some reason it is supposed to react with hot CO2 to make oxygen.

Sounds like something designed to pipe into a plasma fire to make the air semi-breathable again.
