The clear-cut non-vague rules for the books should be imo: 1. English only. 2. Have at least one word in it (books with only one word in them can be funny statements as well). 3. Not have the same content as another book (because some books have been uploaded first, then later realized it had the wr...

I really like the atmos tech experience, my only complain is that removing toxins, repressurizing rooms and warming them up is way too fucking slow. It takes the whole round to purge the 10% plasma someone flooded into the distro and is now appearing all over the station. But yeah, remote air alarms...

Every gamemode has been tweaked A LOT except the most common one: traitor. It definitely needs factions, or at least many objectives more. Or just remove antag greentext and give them very vague objectives like "kidnap person x", "teach person x a lesson but let them live", "...

It was fucking awesome. Funny how starting this shift seemed to divide the population completely in half, someone even asked "is this hell" in OOC. But I've never seen engineering cooperate like that. Too bad I had to leave after 30 minutes already, the supermatter engine was coming along ...

I really really really dislike the entire Security guide page It has questionable procedures and the gearing-up guide is just bleh, who the fuck even uses Security belts when you could have a cool on-sprite for wearing baton on your belt? beyond that it just has some weird and useless information, ...

This would be awesome. Even a change to singulo's output power amount, so it wouldn't create a huge surplus, would make things more interesting. Maybe there could be a way for engineers to set up fuses around the station which could be switched on/off from engineering to disable power from station w...

Sometimes I just want to wander around maintenance and find all the cool shit hidden in there like gas masks, space cash, donk pockets, and other cool shit, but I can't do that if I'm a chemist who's supposed to actually be doing a job. Who doesn't like having fun without contributing to the game i...

I made a new version of the chemistry guide, stuff is still missing but you get the jist of the thing, what do you guys think? Should the original guide look like that?

Also, "Interfere" Would it be a violation to follow people to creep them out? but do nothing in no way to interact with them besides that? Or to follow the HoS playing Darth vaders theme on the violin just for the laugh? Maybe here's a better approach to drone laws, ask yourself: are you ...

If you are giving it out, you are using it incorrectly. Give it to the Geneticist and have him use it to find power blocks faster. That is true, but it still breaks the game entirely when the whole station is turning into hulks for 15 seconds at a time. Either remove it entirely (genetic mutations ...

If you guys allow assistants to have maint, it will affect 10-20 people on a highpop round. If you allow security to have maint, it will affect max 7 people on a highpop round (and even on a highpop it's not uncommon to have an understaffed sec team). It boils down to "what kind of a maintenanc...

Could I get some reasoning behind assistant maint? Why do assistants need maintenance access? Imo there's 0 reasons for it. With any other job I can come up with at least one excuse; medics retrieving bodies, security chasing antags, cargo retrieving crates etc. The only reason I found for it was th...

-snip- This is incredibly unfair on badger players. How is it unfair? The second server (not the main server, to emphasize) would get new stuff to play with before others AND get an extra opportunity to greatly affect the changes before they're implemented. A test server would be the best option, b...

I don't understand why there's so much resistance among coders to thoroughly playtesting major sweeping changes -- not just testing for bugs, playtesting for balance and gameplay issues -- on a dedicated test server (with actual population, probably announced in OOC) before pushing them live.

Are you for real? What happened to assistant being the tutorial job for learning the game's UI? ...Or actually assisting, why do you need maintenance to assist anyone?

OK, but you have to sabotage the engines BEFORE it takes off. After all, if it's already moving fast in space it will keep moving fast in space due to !!physics!!

So what are you saying? Is that a problem?

No maint for anyone else except engineers.
Less people roaming maint = more room for antags to do gimmicks like kidnapping and less getting noticed immediately and therefore resorting to murderboning.

Was this project completely abandoned? Its wiki page was deleted by Jordie, saying it was removed from the /tg/ codebase.

-- removing it from assistant is going to cause people who want maintenance but don't want to work to take jobs like engineer and not do them -- Which is dereliction of duty, a dick move, and a bannable offense if done repeatedly. It's about time those people learn how to give something to the game...

[It would be pretty easy to set up the access so that if you leave your department into maintenance that the nearest exit is also accessible. This sounds logical and would be awesome. But to return on the subject, assistants don't have any physical department on the station, thus should have no mai...

This starts to remind me of the slowing of walking speed -change in the past.

Just last round I got my prep pulled & saniced away from me while I was cuffing them. This change would be a major security playing experience buff, for me atleast.

Anyone advocating realism in a 2d game is a total moron. Unless you are thinner than the edge of a knife 2d realism won't get you more immersed. Hell I would say the inability to conceive a reality where the game fits perfectly is a personal failing of imagination. "If you disagree with my vie...

By that same logic, this would only work if the assumption is "traitor exists as a roundtype therefore traitors exist and I need to take precautions against that possible roundtype." There's a reason metagaming looks really retarded in extended rounds. No, my character knows nothing of ro...

We can always add a semi-transparency to all "normal" hunger level icons (yellow, green, blue). My point was that showing the player information "your hunger status: OK" is of no use at all. I could just not see that icon at all and nothing would change. As for the update genera...

First thing that hit me was that we now have a constant hunger bar to clutter the view. We don't have a "pressure/temperature: nominal" bar. It would make sense if we only saw hunger if its status to something else but nominal. And the same could go with the health bar.

The new hunger-bar looks good, but I'd like it to have the same approach we have with pressure and temperature. How about "Hunger 100%" doesn't show, if you can't see your hunger, it means everything is good. And same with health. Much like in muh realisms irl we don't notice pressure unti...
