I'm relatively sure that engines are cosmetic. The console is what moves you.

Does the Large Armor in the Security vending machines that costs $600 carry any special defensive properties? What's the deal with it?

It has the same armor value as the vest you spawn with but it is capable of storing a large weapon, such as a shotgun, in its suit storage.

What's the difference between "Energy" and "Laser" damage? Is this the difference between pulse and laser?


On another note, Should I make a little thread about combat situations and statistics?

Energy is tasers+disablers
Lasers is lasers

Should I report suspicious admin logs in the statbus to admincomplaints or staff, or just keep it to myself?

That's a pretty loaded question. Is it improper admin behavior, or is it improper logging e.g. bugged text?

Does fungal TB affect people with cybernetic lungs?

Yeah, cybernetics doesn't have any resilience to chems or viruses as far as I know

I'm not doubting you can still become a carrier of the fungal infection, but I'm curious if it will still cause respiratory shutdown or instead will just be a minor inconvenience aside from making you a typhoid mary. I may have to experiment if I ever end up in the position to. I'd probably be lynched for spending the research points, though. Maybe not during ops proper, though.

It's hardcoded so it basically just kills you with huge oxyloss damage, but you do need to have the lungs organ subtype to contract it. I believe even mechanical lungs count for this. It doesn't do organ damage or anything like that, since the code is pretty much original from the goon leak.

Is it possible to wire machines in a room to use a power cell for limited use in the event of an outage.

Yes, you have to simply replace the battery in the APC of the room. If there is a powersink isolating the room from the powernet by snipping the wires leading out of the room will prevent the battery from being drained.

If there is no APC in the room, simply define it as a room and build an APC for it.

I don't believe so? I know you can't define layer when placing the interface under the floor tiles, but I'm not certain about from there.

What role to i need to enable in order to get a chance at Sentient Disease? I have Midround antag enabled, but never got the popup when the event triggers. Does spawning as an Observer deny you the chance?

try enabling every role, if that doesn't work either then it's a problem on your end

After screwing around on a private server, it seems like Sentient Disease requires Xenomorph enabled in your preferences. Probably midround antag too.
