Re: Little things you learned that are game changing

The Modular Receiver got moved from the RnD protolathe to hacked autolathes some time ago.

I believe there is huge potential for Lavaland to be used as the basis for a new gamemode, to get more crew to interact with it outside of the occasional megafauna making its way onto the station, while giving the ashwalkers a more entertaining and powerful ghost role.
