when they are alive they get processed like every other reagent, toxins specifically getting btfo'd by the liver at a threshold.I've distinctly twice now saw formaldehyde husking someone when injected over a certain threshold, it was like two syringefuls or soCobby wrote:when they are alive they get processed like every other reagent, toxins specifically getting btfo'd by the liver at a threshold.
formaldehyde to my knowledge doesn't husk a corpse and it's a trash poison if you plan on using it as such.

Formaldehyde and histamine does all the other damage types but burn, the only one able to husk you.
In a sense, yes. Very, very low toxin doses get obliterated by your liver effectively instantly. Since formaldehyde is a toxin that just so happens to be decent at keeping your organs from turning into even more of a worthless slurry than they already are a mere six seconds after you die, it leaves the body pretty quickly. Of course, if you aren't using a dropper to increment two units of formaldehyde into your patient then they will probably die of histamine poisoning mere seconds after revival.Sheodir wrote: I consider basically husking the corpse the overdose. However, the fact the reagent never ticks down is new to me. I use the analyzer on corpses a little after bringing them to Medbay and the formaldehyde is usually missing from the chems list. Are you sure they're not processed or lost somehow? Are they phased out when the patient is revived?

If at the very least it's definitely made plasmamen that much more difficult to survive as on the station since there isn't actually even a last resort method to revive them sort of body transplants.
The revival surgery works if you dehusk them and repair their wounds on a stasis bed because they dont burst into treats on a stasis bedNecromancerAnne wrote:I just wanna say, this has made saving plasmamen that much harder as any role in medical.

There actually is a way around it using the alien tech necrotic revival surgery. you zombie revive them then rip the zombie tumor out of their brains. It makes them walking husks but is overall so rare to be able to do and actually pretty fucking cool that it shouldnt be bugfixed.skoglol wrote:Changeling suck makes you not viable for revival, that part is intentional and was like that before cloning removal as well.

Should probably just replace the brain organ with a dried out/shrunk one though to make it more clear to doctors as they extract it.
Huh, I coulda sworn I've cloned people who were succed before after cutting brains out, I thought for that reason that succ wasn't a round-ender anymore - They mus'tve just been other husk types I always cloned. But yeah, anything to make it more obvious to doctors so they can just move it all right to the morgue.

Afraid you're wrong this time Skogol, maxed out cloners could absolutely clone ling victims.skoglol wrote:You are wrong.
Yeah, I am not crazy. t3+ cloners could revive everyone, including succ'd, braindamaged, husked etcAnonmare wrote:Afraid you're wrong this time Skogol, maxed out cloners could absolutely clone ling victims.skoglol wrote:You are wrong.
Copybass wrote:Had a really fucked up round last night on Manuel where a muderboning lingtraitor killed me almost immediately into a round. I was a traitor myself, so I waited through being husked and recovered as my body was taken to medbay for repairs. They didn't dehusk me, and rather took my brain out to put into a new body. My brain however, didn't move my soul, so my soul remained in the husked body unable to be used, and they created a catatonic body with my brain in it, leaving me and another husked player to give up and find ghost roles.
Now I'm assuming this was a bug, but this took around 30 minutes of medbay running around, getting the monkey people, and they had no idea that the brain was buggy or otherwise, and I assume they simply thought I ghosted on them when they attempted the brain swap. It was absolutely pain for those of us in dchat, and it was absolutely pain for the medbay players who had to waste their time doing it, since it happened to at least two separate players in the round - meaning they were much less likely to attempt to save any other husks, assuming they would all be the same situation.

This is certainly a bug.skoglol wrote:Changeling suck makes you not viable for revival, that part is intentional and was like that before cloning removal as well. You get ling succed? You're out, permanently.

i think it was intentional, and quite possibly a holdover from before we had T4 partsskoglol wrote:Just another reason cloning should have gone then. I cant imagine that was intentional, and it was likely a byproduct of husks being cloneable at t4.

This would be great but of course it would need to include Flime chance for flavor
Not sure if that's the best way. I like the "brain scanner" idea, an item that'd ask the ghost if they want to be revived and that lets them know they''ll be revived now. Good way to see if you should bother with the process.Grazyn wrote:Speaking of ghosts, there's a way to solve the issue of doctors being frustrated because dead players leave instead of waiting to be revived: pull a ghost when the body is revived, just like cult resurrection
It doesnt necessarily need to give the body problems if you just make it use similar resources to regular revival. Having the empty cloner use a significant amount of synthflesh and blood would be a good way to balance it.imsxz wrote:this was probably mentioned already but I’d like to see empty cloning and experimental cloning back.

Maybe make surgery tables cut decay in half or something?

Things I think could use changing:

I don't see why not put cloning back as part of a bigger focus in Genetics since I feel that role needs some tweaking anyway. I think the only thing is taht there should be an appropriate cost to avoid it being used as a way to avoid traditional healing too much, but just having it be on Science is half the work as is.PKPenguin321 wrote:I've played a bunch of MD since this change and I'm happy to say that it's actually not bad at all. I do miss empty cloning and the experimental cloner but in terms of how playing medical has changed, I think this has overall been a positive. That said, I did really like the theme of cloning, and I don't think it would have hurt to just put the same restrictions defibbing had onto it, but whatever.
Things I think could use changing:
- Turning monkeys into humans with mutadone is kind of awkward, a machine that does it might be cooler
- Not every map has a cell charger for the defib cells, which is really annoying
- While I do like the progression that surgery has with skill levels and different tiers of tools, it is still kind of boring at times. I've alt tabbed out of boredome during a very long Tend Wounds before because I literally had nothing to do but wait. Not sure how to fix sadly
- I wish there was some incentive to frankenstein people together instead of it being just a meme, I think there's some untapped potential here
- There are often way too many doctors leaving only one or two to do surgery while the others are left to boredom. The way the number of slots scales could be looked at, or surgery could somehow be made to benefit from having multiple people present?
Was in this shift yesterday and really felt the lack of properly used space. It wouldn't be that bad in Delta which now has an entire surgery ward, but we really need something like that in all Stations. This shift was in Box I believe.peoplearestrange wrote:I just played a round where a load of security and others got caught in a deadly brawl, and watching medical deal with it as it unfolded was honestly like a medical drama.
We had doctors rushing around saying things like "shit there are no beds left" or "get this one to surgery" and prioritising recently dead patients to resuscitate. Doctors calling for more hands or certain medicines to the chemists.
Most people managed to be revived, some didn't and it actually came off really well. Hearing about someone that wasn't so lucky or didn't make it was actually neat and made you cherish that fact you were one of the lucky ones that made it back to the land of the living.
I do think some maps now need reorganisation of their medbays to properly fit the new flow of work.
So it be like:
Entrance
Emergency room with stasis beds (4 minimum)
Linked to surgery or cyro's
Then next to it a ward with beds with drips and other things for non critical recovery and such.
Yeah thats right. I agree, delta would be fine. And yeah it was Boxstation, which its medical is a little messy given it was sorta tacked on/re-purposed rooms as various parts of medical became popular/new or unpopular etcSheodir wrote: Was in this shift yesterday and really felt the lack of properly used space.

I mean, it's actually super thematic that blood cult can resurrect the dead. They should just come back as undead and it should take more effort than clicking a rune. I swear the revival rune got buffed out the arse by Robustin at some point so it's now just free revives.Dr_bee wrote:Slightly related. But Blood cult resurrection rune probably should go now that cloning is gone. Having one side have easy resurrection as well as conversion when the crew only has de-conversion seems counter to the current direction of the games design. Plus it would actually be neat to force people to do revival medicine outside of medbay like in a cult base.
That is not as hard as youd think it is considering mindshield implants make you insta-sacrifice. If cult really needs a way to resurrect, a special organ implant like a blood crystal heart replacement would be much cooler, and it would use the actual medical system.Timonk wrote:You need 3 sacrifices (aka not conversion) to revive 1 cultie 2hich makes it basically only viable 9n robust people or when theres no one to convert
