(if you click on it and view it directly its less blurry)

most notable things to take from this:
- PUSHING THE MORPH OFF OF THE VENT BEFORE IT FINISHES CLIMBING IN WHILE ALSO HITTING IT IN THE PROCESS. Morphs generally only go for vents when they're weak/afraid of a strong weapon you have/afraid of a horde, so if you stop them from getting in they'll almost certainly die.
- lurking in areas with corpses/monkeys (which the morph heals off of) when hunting for it
fughkin delet this, you can't just let people know how weak morphs actually are

When I do morph I always go lightbulb, really hard to not and so common and small you can basically hide anywhere

You can attach voice-analyzer-signaller assemblies to a borg's module reset wire to let it change module on the fly with a simpel command word.

You can also attach one to its lockdown wire if you're a robo and you want some insurance against the borgs.

Posted: **Sun Jan 29, 2017 2:04 am**

Tell me about voice analyzers, how do they work? Does the radio count, for example?

Posted: **Sun Jan 29, 2017 2:16 am**

You use them in hand to set a command phrase. Screwdriver them and a signaller, put 'em together, attach the assembly to a wire and whenever it hears that command word - it'll trigger the signaller and if it's on a wire, it'll pulse it.

And yes, it can trigger from over the radio so better pick an uncommon phrase to prevent misfires.

you don't have to open soda, unscrew caps, or tear seals off of bags.

Going by this logic, all canned soda on the station is flat and the space twinkies in the vending machines are stale. Dispensed soda has a better fate, but still.

as a miner, if you can coordinate it well enough, have science bring the orm straight to the research department and set it up there. this could save time on its own, but i always buy a quick fulton beacon/pack, set up the beacon in rnd, and use it on my ore box and myself whenever i wanna take a load for a quick trip back instead of having to navigate back through lavaland to the base, deposit the ore, get the ore to rnd, and get dank upgrades.

also, resonator and advanced scanner is the objective best choice for mining vendor coupon.

Alternatively, just have science build a ORM at science. That's what science is for and also it saves the headache of stealing cargo's

One really nifty trick to convey a message to the AI without sec or anyone except the silicones to know is to write a message in a paper and using said paper in a camera.

Also I think putting a plasma sheet in cameras upgrades cameras, and carrots too. Not sure about carrots actually, but plasma sheets worked.

You can crush a can of soda on your head if you aim for your own head and harm intent use it on yourself.

Posted: **Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:59 am**

Cameras can be upgraded by analyzers for xray, plasma sheets for emp-proofing, or prox sensors for proximity cameras (i don't know what they do, since the AI is not alerted of motion).

This is useful when comms are down (to alert the AI to something if it isn't rogue and to mark yourself for death if it is). Same for the holopads.

If you get spaced out of the mining shuttle mid transit, immediately deploy your survival capsule. If you're lucky you will be on the station z level and can ask for someone to rescue you. The capsule comes with a GPS so finding it will be easy.

Code: Select all

/obj/item/areaeditor/blueprints/slime
	name = "cerulean prints"
	desc = "A one use yet of blueprints made of jelly like organic material. Renaming an area to 'Xenobiology Lab' will extend the reach of the management console."

Yeah.

Though strictly speaking, unless I'm reading this wrong, it'll work with whatever area the xenobiology console is in, it's just that the default one happens to start in the xenobiology lab.

About xenobio consoles, it was originally just Xenobiology Lab only, but since i made them buildable they use the name of area they were built on. Normally it's Xenobiology Lab.

Some supermatter stuff:

Energy beams cause the shard to emit hallucinations which can only be prevented by wearing mesons, while matter touching the shard causes regular radiation.

Use pure oxygen instead of n2 if you like energy. Pure oxygen produces a lot more energy and makes the shard glow. Using n2 probably can't even power the entire station on delta.

If you're close to dying, you can cut your own limbs off to heal due to how the damage registers.

If you only have one hand, you cannot be cuffed.

You can catch thrown objects if you face the direction they're coming from and have throw intent activated.

The crate in Metastation's Science Bomb Testing Site (the place with the mass driver) contains some cardboard targets, but under them there's a full stack of metal, glass and rods! Especially useful since there's no other extra stacks around unlike in Box, and because it's a lot less likely to get stolen by someone else.

Excellent tip. I knew about the rods, but never thought to dig further. I guess those exist with the intention to rebuild the bomb site.

You can nerf an AI's camera reach without tripping its camera alarm by using a multitool on the camera instead of wirecutters. The camera is still on but it can only see two squares away instead of its normal full reach. Super handy for creating blind spots or just generally fucking with AI vision without getting caught.

Posted: **Sun Feb 12, 2017 7:37 pm**

wait, they get an alarm if a camera is disabled?
