Both are bad but since we seem to have no choice otherwise I would suggest option 2 as chem has far more reason to have a public face than genetics.. The layout of genetics in both is straight out terrible however.

I like it. It makes lings more dangerous to take on in small groups. This also gives another reason for people to use surgery which is never used anymore.

That's a hilarious video that fits it well. That said, it's far less funny when it get triggered 5 times, between science and medbay, and everything is exposed to space, and everyone is crying bitter tears because retards keep activating it. It's even less funny when some shitler gets the mob spawn...

Talkin' about Strange Objects real quick These things are sort of silly and could benefit from rebalancing. Especially the explosive one - Not only is the explosion actually pretty big, but it won't destroy the object. We had a round where people kept wandering in, grabbing the object, exploding, a...

Because the head coders want it. That is the only reason.

I actually like the idea of this thing. I enjoy the fact that using this to up your research levels can actually be dangerous as opposed to the scavenger hunt. Those strange objects people find in Maint are perfect for shoving in this thing. However, I would still consider making the benefits of us...

If anyone at any point thought we were getting rid of goonchem when it is supported by HG then they are fucking delusional

There would need to be some depth in combat between the Monster and the TEA players, it would be unfun for the Monster to lose from being hit once from the TEA. Otherwise it seems like a good idea. Maybe make the creature immune to the time freeze of the atom eraser gun. Have the escapee start with...

In game there might not be but IRL O negative is called the universal blood type. Any blood type can accept O negative blood.

Fuck hivelord cores. There is no reason why they should go bad in the first place. Instant-use items that heal you to 100% HP, which can be farmed from hivelords via laz injectors, and even then they aren't that hard to kill on a normal basis. If they didn't expire they'd be stupidly overpowered. 1...

Anyway, I have (gasp!) an idea! A box-sized stasis device of remarkably high price that can keep a small number of hivelord cores contained within it fresh indefinitely. It might weaken their powers, have a chance to make the user puke instead or whatever other negative effects there are, of course...

Deep Agent Insertion They must find a specific crew member and (using some sort of tech) overwrite their mind with that of a TEA agent. The target becomes an antag with specific objectives one of which is always "Assist the TEA in further objectives) Maybe have it ghost the body and then random...

Yeah, the area wouldn't need atmos because it's just a place for random physical violence. The mobs should never leave that area so whether they can breath or not doesn't matter. They don't need to be human mobs with gear and shit. Just make them simple mobs and sprite some dumb viking looking dude...

Hey. Hey guys. What if you had like, a remote control for your mining bot(s). You use the remote on the bot to link them (so you can link multiple bots), then you can use the remote to issue them simple commands.

I wouldn't mind goonchem if it weren't for a few things. 1) How ineffective basic first aid medications are If you liked or didn't like the way that oldchem worked at least you had the option to use first aid.

Give them a Kinetic Hammer for like 1.5k points. Have it hit for like 25 damage (less in places with atmo like the KA) and instantly mine what it hits. Give it a roughly two second cooldown for recharging. This way it is a limited KA that you actively have to click to mine but will mine faster than ...

We need a Drone Master Control Console that does three things. 1. Shows the location of every drone and what they are holding 2. Allows you to remote deactivate drones individually (no mass deactivating) 3. Allows you to send a message to all drones such as "Robotics is in need of reapair"...

I don't see why they need a nerf when everything you've brought up is all actionable with a drone ban. If someone is violating the drone laws (Don't fuck with anything that's not a drone, don't harm anything, fix the station), we can ban them . We shouldn't be nerfing because people are breaking a ...

That would slow progress a lot, I'm more interested in a generalized "give a fuck" rule for coders. That would be for major changes like goonchem, paps stun change, and other changes of that magnitude. Small content additions or tweaks are fine to test live as long as long as the coders a...

There's no precedent for that. No headmin has ever been "impeached" or has there ever been a process invented to facilitate that. I don't personally think his dual role as a headcoder has affected his ability to perform his role as a headmin in the slightest but if you're really certain a...

How would one go about setting up a vote or at least a thread for a removal for a headmin. Which board would you post it on?
