can be really hard to tell if a borg is shitting or breaking laws or purged or emagged or relawed

if people bashing emagged borgs to find the traitor in them is an issue then emagged/hack law borgs could have their checked laws as garbled so you cant tell who dunnit, just that the borg is indeed hacked

There is a tablet app that lets you check borg laws.

didnt know about that thanks

you should be able to examine a door or other ID required object and see what access it requires because I've had numerous instances of having to run back to the HoP because we're both just guessing on what kind of access shield generators need

If someone has explosives on their corpse when they are cremated, make the crematorium explode.

Thankyou. I got cremated earlier as a clown, and I was hoping it would at least trigger my slippy grenade. But it sadly didn't. Sad Honk.

please stop changing subjective clothes/hair designs without giving the option of keeping the original version. Shoulder Length hairstyle looks like complete shit now I'm mad I have to redesign all my characters with the hairstyle because of it. Give us Shoulder Length 2 with original design please.

emagging a photocopier should let you photocopy id cards and make copies of them without access

It has come to my attention that despite the game having the italian chef stereotype for years and years, the game doesn't have gabagool. The game needs gabagool.

Garbage Plates. They're a staple food near me, and one hell of a hangover meal. Potato wedges/fries, mac salad, onion, burger or hotdog, beans, and meat sauce (probably just a chili and gravy in game context). Could probably provide a buff to regal rats, if they can get their grubby paws on one. I'm debating adding a bounty for this item, if I could get a part of my local culture in the game I'd be happy as shit.
Alfredo pasta - could be bechamel sauce, cheese, grilled chicken (or fried, fuck it), garlic and herbs.
Buffalo Wings - fried chicken, hot sauce.
Crab bake - Whole crab, red bay seasoning, lemon juice, fries. Like they do in Baltimore.

I'd love something similar for suit slots. I had no idea I could put the export scanner in the cargo suit slot for over a year until I was bored and was doing the point-and-click adventure thing where you try everything on the slot to see what works. I know armored vests can fit laser guns and life jackets can fit oxy tanks on them.

Let mimes and clowns insert Fake Mustaches into the filters of their masks. It's the naturally continuation of #78776, could use the muffling of #78567, and is Very Funny
Also allows for clowns to steal the mime beret and wear both for Maximum Europe without having to give up the clown mask.

Restore the agent ID to its former glory, is there any real reason that a limited in supply traitor item shouldn't be able to have all access?

Make lowpop traitors non-progtots.

new wizard spell that makes you a cowboy

-magic cowboy boots and hat plus sheriff outfit
-an immortal pony to ride and a spell to resummon it to your location
-a wand of bullets (a magic revolver that auto reloads over time but deals way less damage)
-a lasso spell (reskinned meat hook)

It'd be nice if subverted borgs had an easily located button to state fake default 3 laws, since manually copy and pasting them is obvious you're not stating normally due to the time lag.

Have the ectoscopic sniffer ping robotics/science's PDAs when it's blapped so they can be bothered even out of the lab.

make an emote similar to the slap where you poke someones eyes

Give all borg modules a crowbar.

tile doors for multi z stations. just a normal door or hatch you can walk on and open. trapdoors exist but all they do is vanish and reappear. think of a blast door for the floor

fishing portal should probably be like ordering the stock market kit from cargo, everything you need in one box for a few hundred credits. it's currently a pain in the ass fetch quest, imo

lobster claws that mining can collect should be in recipes in some form

Reposting this here because I accidentally posted it to someone's personal idea thread like a dummy. The formatting is from the thread.

Concept: Crime scene investigation glasses
Goals: Sec science unlock that allows glasses that have the ability to forensics scan, giving Sec a better way to capture antags later on in the round. This could also be combined with the existing sechud glasses as an upgrade.
Non-goals: Have an action that plays the CSI Miami YEAAAAAH when you put them on to punctuate sweet one liners.

Seccie: "Detective we found the clown dead in maints, can you give it a scan?"
Det: "It appears the Clown has Cap's prints and fibers from their suit on them, making me think this was the Captain giving a field execution."
Seccie: "So not a murder?"
Det: "No it looks like the clown.... *puts on forensics glasses* Slipped up"
YEAAAAAAAAH

Elaboration: To be honest, I thought of the CSI meme first and the actual function of the item second, but I feel like this is one of those things that would actually be in the game because it's a stupid reference and has a real function. I guess it would also work as just something that happens when you Emag normal Sec glasses or something.

you should be able to attach boxing gloves to springs and put them in lockers so that when someone opens the locker they get punched in the face

Matches should be able to be struck and lit on walls and perhaps other things (for the cool factor).

AI hologram sprite that looks like a mouse cursor

button under mapping verbs that saves a high-resolution screenshot of the current z-level to your computer

Engineers should spawn with anti-tamper screwdrivers, and anything they screw around with can only be unscrewed by another engineer's screwdriver

Make gorillas able to use PDAs and PCs again. It was initially a consciously intended mechanic, and makes sense as it costs 15 TC to use the gorilla magilitus from genetics. It makes no sense on MRP to ever go gorilla, because its basically just a one-way murderbone only tool without being able to use any mechanics. You can't complete objectives, you can't turn in secondary objectives. The wiki incorrectly states you can still use these as gorilla, but this isn't true, and it was seemingly changed as a side affect of how illiteracy was tied to brains and gorillas not having brains. I mean, gorillas should at least be smarter than monkeys! I just think they should be able to use it to complete objectives; if I see a 4 TC "smash the RD server" I should be able to convert to gorilla and use my PDA to complete the objective.

Above is the bug fix request I made about it

The wiki (up until I made this request) has incorrectly said they could use PDAs/electronics/PCs.

I don't think for 15 TC its unfair to let them use PDAs/computers. If you wanted to get more complex about it, just let them use the "Clever" perk if the geneticist unlocks it, and make them have to do some work for it. But frankly I think its fine just to give them literacy out the get go.

bluespace banana cream pies should be a thing

doctor/cmo/paramed antag item: sneaky nitrile gloves

when worn, inserting items into peoples chests during surgery is extremely fast, gives no visible message, and items can be inserted straight from your pockets

i want surgically implanting grenades and other things into people to be more viable its a really fun way to be evil

automatic sprinkler systems
start mapped into ordnance, atmos, engineering, and chemistry
will activate and spray water on their tile and the three horizontally/vertically adjacent tiles, extinguishing fires, making floors slippery, and cooling temperature down
activated by high heat on its tile, other sprinklers in the area activating, or someone bashing it
runs out of water quickly
crafted with 2 iron and a water recycler
can be screwdrivered to reset it and begin regenerating water

electronic sprinkler systems
upgrade to the automatic sprinkler system by adding fire alarm electronics to a sprinkler frame
smart activation, they won't turn on unless there is a fire on its tile (or adjacent), will turn off once that fire is gone, lessening its water usage
otherwise identical to the automatic sprinklers

This is a good idea IF AND ONLY IF they must be connected to the plumbing system so I can replace their supply with welding fuel or acid

gonna add a third stationwide network, I'm in tears
at least improve our connection code first

Shrink lavaland, make it 127 by 127.

What do we put in the other 48,000 tiles on the z level

I didn't say it should be stationwide, we have localized plumbing networks all over our maps, in fact, most commonly in the places already listed for showers (so we can just hook into those ezpz)

Recovered crew should have a chance to spawn with a xenos larvae in their chest

Chaplains should be able to do...something...with other crewmates' prayer, I don't know what

What if depending on where you make your prayer, different people can hear them? Also let ghosts hear all the prayers as a treat.

The Chaple is pretty obvious for the Chaplain to hear and do average Chaplain things. The HoP could be tortured by all prayers in the HoP line will haunt them. And if you make the grand misfortune of praying for aid while over some cultist/heretic/wizard/revenant magic then all of them are alerted to your exact location, given a picture of you, your health condition, what you prayed for, your deepest darkest secrets, and admins are encouraged to rain hell upon you.

And let the ghosts see people's shitty prayers and laugh at them, like when the clown wishes for a clown mech and admins send a drop pod with a book labeled "clown mech".

being able to respond to a prayer would be nice, a la divine intervention

Windoors get an intermediate broken state which is visibly passable and broken like what a broken windoor is now BUT you can easily fully destroy it OR easily undo the damage(outside of the shard decals & such) by slapping it with a new sheet of glass. It helps reconstruction work without entirely covering up evidence of intrusion. Also shards should layer above tables. I'd do this if i weren't prepping for lvdum dare rn.

Based Ludum Dare engager. I've always thought we should try and talk about that event more as a community, I think I made a thread about it ages ago. It would be cool I think.

Drain the big red evil sprayers the interdyne pirates have, they cannot be trusted with such noob-bait.

cleaning surgical tools (using a sink/rag/bar of soap) should give them a surgical speed boost as long as you're still operating on the same patient
and using the same surgical tools on another patient without cleaning them should void the surgical speed boost until they're cleaned again

there should be a small chance for someone's paperwork to be fucked up at roundstart/spawn. gives the HoP something to do other than give out all access, and gives plausible deniability for a few antags

sticky notes that you can write on and silently stick to someone's back
the victim has no way of telling there is a sticky note on their back, but other people examining them can read it
adjusting the jumpsuit causes the note to fall off (much like several accessories), as does taking the jumpsuit off
