1) The funny hand dimension isn't fun or interesting. I like the idea of players being able to fight to come back, but "just dodge the hands" sucks and is not enjoyable and kind of screws over players with high ping. Somenoe should implement the original design plans for the Mansus Gates ...

But the percentages on these seem like they could be ramped up a bit if nothing else? Hallucinations aren't super common as is unless you're intentionally ingesting chemicals that trigger them. The percentages add up to 100%. They can't be ramped up any. This is the pool hallucinations draw from wh...

Fortunately I made a special verb to do this automatically This is a probability to pick any given hallucination type when a random hallucination triggers, such as for RDS https://tgstation13.download/dip/discordimageproxy.php/attachments/590051584495321100/1229918332627587123/image.png?ex=66316db5&...

Are you telling me you want to read all 1,085 words of this appeal yourself?

i would love more hallucinations that im unable to tell if theyre real or not. for example level 5 biohazard call outs, plasma flood, often times i have to go off the reaction of people around me because otherwise i have no fucking idea if its real or not The funny thing about the plasma flood hall...

hallucination ideas: -fake door bolting in the rooms you are in (make them happen one by one so at a glance it seems real) -fake door shock (we already have stuns from hallucinations just have it proc when using a door with the electrification visual) -You feel a tiny prick! sleepy pen hallucinatio...

This is a good idea BUT don't remove all of the wacky hallucinations, give hallucinations flags like var/hallucination_flags = HALLUCINATION_PARANOIA | HALLUCINATION_SILLY Then we can have effects that draw from the paranoia pool, like for low sanity, and effects that draw from the silly pool, like ...

Headcoders already asked me to do this once wtf

Rats already combine into a swarm. It uses the swarming component.

big if true

It's safe compared to the "average" supermatter setup

Unfortunately the "average" supermatter setup is statistically skewed from all the times a supermatter shard gets misplaced or misused, making "comparatively safe to other supermatters" not actually all that safe

I remember suggesting someone do this a few months ago but they never finished it. I would recommend anyone who tackles this (if I don't tackle this myself) to give them two, or maybe even three surgery omnitools, so you can have two active surgical tools to swap between. Like how a human would have...

FTR Midround Traitors were disabled as a part of a "test" 4-5 months ago. Not sure if anything came about it. (But evidently they're still off) Right now it feels like 5 sec officers show up and curb stomp a singular traitor and then the threat is just gone. I don't like the idea that we n...

I'm on the fence on this. On one hand it would really stifle revs, like a lot - it'd kill a lot of the freedom and chaos of the antag if they all had to report to their nearest leader and ask for orders. I like being converted to revs so I can go back to my department and think "okay, what can ...

Alien base in Brazil. You will come to Brazil.

I am reminded about how terrifying drones are in the early game. Space Roombas legit more terrifying than any alien in the game.

I'm of the opinion that with Dynamic, Antag Tokens are a dated concept, and I don't really think we should be handing out more than we already do. 9 times out of 10 someone asks to redeem a token now-a-days I have to tell them "Eh this round would really suck for you to use this so maybe next t...

0 even though I've dropped my phone(s) a handful of times

I really dislike the regard in which we hold antag tokens, they should be given out more loosely- but also as rewards. Sure a positive note is nice, but antag tokens are something tangible. Having more guaranteed antag rounds will encourage people to have fun with it, salt less when their plan fail...

This is an excellent write up.

This was a highpop round on Metastation, players' favorite map -- Do not run roundending events like forcing zombies 10 mins in on maps the playerbase actually likes RULE 1: NO EVENTS ON METASTATION There should be a BIG announcement header in OOC before running these kind of events RULE 2: SPOIL T...

Yep

In truth, Ops kinda sucks and we should do Goon Ops instead. Win win.

I'm gonna be the cringe guy and say it'd probably be better to put more generic characters which represent a common stereotype than go with statics

Ignoring the ones you can't do with the holopad: it's just funnier to do it in person

It's alright I wouldn't have listened anyways

I am the one captain that does not pick up the hand tele for lore reasons. Based I guess but the hand tele is actually just a fun thing to use, ignoring all the powergaming tips related to it in the thread. Like being in a discussion with a centcom rep who says "Well I'm going to go check on m...

Unfortunately the former requires unique sprites for literally everything, unless we use filters, which we totally can but it'd just be a lot of work

And the latter you can already accomplish with circuits, though it'd be neat to have a wearable circuit shell (maybe for neck slot).

Harricross retired a month or so back so I'll take over this. There are two criteria for appealing a note: - The note is factually or materially incorrect. - The note's contents or existence is unjustifiably harsh to the player's standing in the eyes of admins reading the notes. You have stated your...

Maints flourish from both procedural elements and hand-painted rooms/secrets. I’ve also heard procedural elements are hard as sin to maintain. The only procedural aspects of our maintenance is the random spawners, which are not that difficult to maintain. They cause issues once in a blue moon (like...

not every map has to be some grandiose statement that redefines mapping. if i could go back to the ancient times of 2021 and show you putting KILO above PUBBY you'd do that dramatic thing in movies where they look down at their own quivering hands and question the depths of the darkness that lies w...

Procedural maintenance won't be nearly as good as hand created maintenance

pubby was so uninspired though D+ tbh sjut the FUCK UP Sorry to say but without Nostalgia goggles Pubby is just painfully mid, it doesn't have anything going for it besides the Monastary satellite - and no one actually visited there because it was so out of the way And god forbid you have to play a...

Time really is a flat circle if we re-added disarm stun meta

I'm confused, we've always had RNG knockdowns. What's different?

I have an ultimate question for TheBibleMelts and really anyone who was pro-unrestricting lings: In the past few months of them being free, have you seen people use it to desired effect? Have you seen people use their unrestricted status to improve the round more than detract from the round? And to ...

What if we take a middle ground where antags can do whatever they want only if they're roleplaying.

IE, a ling can go ham if they're doing ling stuff, armblade, taking identities, etc.
But you can't use it as just an excuse to do whatever you want while not using any ling powers at all.

Interesting concept but station power is not remotely balanced, and as a consequence, this would also not be remotely balanced.

You are right in that we have no use for extra power. But "extra power" can vary from 50mw to 3gw.

A lot of this is understandable, but "ling" is just short for "changeling" - it's totally sensible people would shorten it colloquially. "Cling" is cringe though. You know who you are.

I don't think you're fucked up! It's not an easy mindset to get into. I apologize if I've come off as negative or haranguing.

you are still trying to retroactively justify your character's actions for the sake of balance as opposed to making the in character decision. I'm not retroactively justifying anything, I'm just approaching it the same what you may be approaching it as a clueless janitor. But it doesn't matter, bec...

This is not the first time this has happened, so it's not like we're treading new grounds.
