Get a t-ray scanner and follow the pipes from any random disposal bin to cargo (or just climb into a bin), then observe how the conveyor belt at cargo leads to a separate disposal pipe loop that leads to the crusher.

To send all the bins to the crusher, you essentially just have to bypass the conveyor belt. Either build pipes right over it or reroute the pipe just before the belts to some new pipes you make that go into the crusher pipes.

It's important to also put some form of barricade (walls or girders are good) around the conveyor belts that are between the exit of the pipes and the crusher so the victim can't just step off of the belt. Also, if a bomb happens pretty much anywhere and breaks pipes (or somebody intentionally sabotages them), your gimmick is ruined. Might also be a good plan to seal up the crusher room so people can't just walk in and see the carnage before breaking your trap.

Some maps have the outlet by the crusher a tile too far back and consequently the victim can survive by walking away from the crusher, although they'll be trapped. If this is the case just move the outlet a tile up.

Pro tip: Once you've set up your trap, build a chute in the main hallway (preferably at a corner) that leads to the disposal loop, get a bucket and splash water around it, and an ebow. I don't think you can afford noslips with this since you also need an emag to sabotage the crusher, but if you can afford them go for it. Anybody that walks by can just be thrown in the chute and dies instantly. Bonus points if you disable comms so people can't call for help.

Do the ProxSensors only ever trigger once? Is there a way to Reset them so they can trigger each time something is detected nearby?

What do each of the lines on a ProxSensor mean? Line 1 looks to be some sort of arming delay, Line 2 is an armed toggle, and line 3 is a Distance value? in tiles, including diagonal?

Trying to get a motion sensor alarm that warns me whenever something moves in a rough area, including each incident not just the first.

Pretty sure proximity sensors will trigger multiple times but they may or may not have a cooldown, I don't know. How large is the area you want to affect? It might just be better to use an infrared beam if it's a doorway or something similar.

Just type it, using the tabs and manually pressing the verbs is incredibly slow and vastly inferior, especially if you're an admin and have 4000 verbs to keep track of

Too left. Sounds. Stop sounds

PKPenguin321 wrote:the exact verb is literally stop-sounds
you can just type "sto" and hit space and pick it from the auto-finish list that pops up
it is seriously not hard dude

No, don't even help him with this, all admins should know how to just type verbs in. I actually do not understand how you can even attempt to be an administrator and try to manage 5 pages of verbs without being able to type them in.
Treat it functionally like a search bar. Type a key word from the verb you want (for stop sounds, try "stop" or "sounds".) The autocomplete list (the search results) come up and you pick it from there, easy. Do not use the tabs. DO NOT USE THE TABS!

If you're asking for stop sounds to stop all playing sounds for yourself, you can either type in the verb "Stop-Sounds" or navigate to Preferences > Stop Sounds
If you want to stop sounds for the entire server, you can use the verb "Stop-All-Playing-Sounds" or navigate to Debug > Stop-All-Playing-Sounds (this will stop sounds for everyone and is useful if you need to stop lobby music to play a song in the lobby.)

NanookoftheNorth wrote:Why was Telecoms' word and code manipulation removed? I enjoyed the idea of having the ability to change someone's words into something else. Such as, maybe making it so all phrases are now passive. Replace "yes" "yeah" and all other affirmations with "maybe" and all "no's" with "maybe not." There are other words I would replace too to make it work, but still you get the idea. Replacing captain with condom for example.

Why was telescience removed? Was it because it was too easy? I liked calibrating it up and trying to teleport into silly places, and not accidentally into space.

I'm more butthurt about telecoms, a lot of the prewritten scripts are really fun.

It wasn't that somebody found a way to do this, something happened that made it so recursion was incredibly easy to do even accidentally. People were coming onto the server and touching the NTSL console unknowingly and putting really simple things and it would bring the server to its knees every time. But yeah

Wait, the way I heard it someone made a bitcoin miner off it and so they had to shut it down
