You'll probably actually see less minerals delivered if you move all the fun toys of mining to its own job.

http://www.byond.com/games/TgstationHub/TgstationStatsHub#tab=scores There are no hard starts on what percentage of our playerbase has killed megafauna but you can scroll back quite a ways to see people who have killed at least one ever Only about a hundred people have managed it at least 10 times t...

A yearly plea not to add maps and lists of the exact location of loot to every ruin. https://i.imgur.com/GCM5e2C.png A detailed guide on how to finish a maze is a good example of the wiki going past telling people how to play the game and reading more like a strategy guide.

There has got to be some reasonable middle ground between "the deadmin button is irreversible" and "if you wait 15 minutes you can do whatever the hell you want" We managed a rule around antag spawning (don't join your own antag spawn) without crippling the admin teams ability to...

Do you really want to have to handle that kind of AC kor? Do you? No, I don't, which is why I don't want admins to do it. All these posts about admins being reasonable people that we trust just glosses over the fact that Saeg was one of the people who burned his free time babysitting our servers, a...

Explosions got reworked when dismemberment was added, fireballs are OP as hell now especially given you can aim them and they have a 3x3 "hitbox" to collide with people

onleavedontatme

Not entering into situations where an admin acting in poor faith and an admin acting in good faith are indistinguishable to an outside observer is how we avoid the "constant suspicion" though. You're right it'd be fucking awful if trust broke down with the admins, it's why we deadmin when ...

Except the way we figure out whether an admin is trustworthy or not is by watching their actions in game. If we have a category of actions that are impossible to judge trustworthiness on without knowing if the admin is trustworthy, and we cant know if an admin is trustworthy unless we judge their ac...

I've already done much worse in a wizard round, the only difference is I didn't play as an assistant in the round. It's a pretty important difference though, for the same reason we dont let people answer their own ahelps, or even ahelps in which they were sort of involved. Even if they do it fairly...

FREE is my favourite buzzword in coding feedback threads, and ironically was used by the OP to refer to one of the only things in his post that costs points.

There have been 221 ash drake kills in January. 1/4 of the time you kill one you get the potion. 1/4 of the time you drink the potion you get the spell. So that is around 14 times people have gotten that power this month. There have been 1288 rounds in January. So once every 100 rounds or so you mig...

It is common for admins to stay admined while in game, and push buttons while in game. I once pushed the create random traitors button while mopping as a janitor because the 10 minute round start report sent to all admins had indicated that 2 of the antags had dc'ed or gone afk. How ever most round...

you want to code a voting system that will load the engine in after roundstart without being the worst disaster in the world and you can feel free to do that and PR it. The voting system is putting setup equipment for all 3 in secure storage and whichever the engineers set up in their empty engine ...

Needs to slow down on the events, multiple per round usually accompanied by command reports gets tiresome

It caused too many roundstart fuck ups the near regularity of new player, stupid engineer or "lolo i dunno how 2 do it i swearz" related early releases was insane and that was before actual sabotage. and yet it's still way cooler than the supermatter hell at this point i wouldn't mind hav...

Don't see what is wrong with titles, personally. If being noble (or having delusions that you are) is part of your backstory, what is the harm in that? At least they're putting some sort of effort and care into their characters.

ITT people who just leave run intent on because not moving at max speed at all times is not robust enough This but unironically.

Where are all these things you list other than the knife and medipens? Tendrils? I only ever get alien brains, cursed hearts and ships in a bottle. Because you know. It's RNG based. Many threads about mining balance are like this. Someone will list every single item a miner can potentially get acro...

Water has gotten a little insane. After I nerfed the other slips (almost 2 years ago!) the metagame has slowly and invariably shifted to water spam for inflicting mass casualties. If only someone were there to tell you 2 years ago that inevitably slips will remain the meta for killing people up unt...

It sounds like the guy on digg was new and has a shakey grasp of both the mechanics and rules. You arent allowed to kill everyone for rping crazy. People might die as the result of confusion and misdirection though.

The traps are fine and easily counterable its the fucking endless marauders that make it a living hell to fight against

That round earlier where we aggressively metagamed the command report and raided the mining base and lucked out to destroy the space base all within the first five minutes and still had all of security slaughtered by constructs +swords by the time our red alert shuttle docked is a pretty good exampl...

Adding a cuff/holywater check to prevent summoning would make it all but useless. Maybe it doesn't need to be that useful? Why do they need that crutch?

Mineral distribution remains the biggest impediment and thats not "just a numbers issue". My solution was to simply move the ORM deep into cargo. ORM stores minerals as it does now. Each head/QM can use a modular program and/or the protolathe to request minerals. The request would include...

And lol grabbing a bounced radio isn't 5d chess Yeah seriously.

You won't be able to erase other peoples unlocks in this case so I'm hoping there will be less angst about it.

Was talking with MSO about if/how to add moths to the game other than just throwing another roundstart race on the pile, and he said <MrStonedOne> a better but harder to properly pull off idea, would be to gate one or both behind some in game lock, ftl style, where you have to find a ruin and do som...

Like everything else it all depends on context and what attempts you made to defuse the situation prior. Stealing the armory then killing all of security when they chase you because you're valid now is bad. But a while ago when an assistant slipped the HoS for trying to arrest him (for having the sl...

I guess the mistake is that QoL is interchangeable with powercreep in some cases. Faster and easier building and repairing is a QoL change that supports longer rounds.
