Now Xenobio is basically useless to me since I only wanted to powergame to become my favorite race, not to become a slimeperson that can use a wiz spell to stop time. For what it's worth with stargazers you can still do telepathy gimmicks and form your little gang without having to turn them all in...

XDTM

The cryo pod idea seemed the most realistic, let people get out of the round in a legit way if they're tired, bonus points if they can still come back in case the round lasts a lot longer than they thought.

speaking from experience other traitors will try to kill you even more since they'll get your sweet traitor toys

XDTM

I beat him with a shiv silent, although i did have both kunai and shuriken on that run

XDTM

it used to be stronger

XDTM

Bit of an anecdote but I've played in a very dominant clock cult round and had other admins spawn death squads that we were able to kill, barely. I think if the clock cult basically has a guaranteed win, a deathsquad attacking providing an actual challenge is far better than having to wait 10 minut...

XDTM

didnt a phazon torso require high levels in most techs though... depends on what you consider "high", maybe it's just because I was taught R&D by duke fuckin hayka himself, but I was printing off a BoH every single round I was RD without fail unless I died or the miners didn't deliver...

XDTM

Alternatively make putting a boh in another just teleport it randomly in the zlevel, so we don't have to balance a storage item and a WMD as the same item

XDTM

A rapidly decaying singulo could work

XDTM

the skill ceiling isnt really relevant when the basic setup gives all the power you ever need Which is why I said to make basic delams turn catastrophic (spawn a singulo/tesla), then make setups with more complex gasses only explode, so that more complex engines actually have the reward of being sa...

XDTM

Don't forget my mob mechanics page!

XDTM

Sorry if i don't like spending 15 minutes in xenobiology and then hear ";SINGULOOSE" on the radio and feeling like i wasted my time for nothing, every other round, because someone thought that loosing the singulo was a real fun and original idea. At least the SM only explodes engineering a...

XDTM

Can't wait to get my deletion license

XDTM

I can agree with a more varied sm failure effect. But putting a singulo in every round makes it monotonous instead of a novelty, and it's a pity to have a station-eating wormhole become boring because of overuse

XDTM

ah yes i do like the round being over because someone in a deserted area snipped a wire

XDTM

Are there points for uploading images?

Time to get crankin'

I added the extract effects for luminescents

Time to buff voice of god

XDTM

Maybe they could last for x rounds + the number of upvotes they have, so shitty ones would expire rapidly and good ones would stay longer (but not forever)

XDTM

or just make it an alt-click to open

XDTM

Make them do a big chunk of brain damage, if you eat a few you might display brain powers, or just end up paralyzed

XDTM

Yeah, basically slimepeople's gimmick is splitting (which was buffed so on death/unconsciousness you transfer to another body), luminescents are versatile as long as they have extracts to use, and stargazers have mind communication (which works while in crit/unconscious/mute/etc so you can chelp to ...

XDTM

The thing is that with antags it's not directly more antags=more chaos, but rather more antags=more chance of getting the one guy who wants to cause maximum chaos in the minimum time possible. If there is nobody like that as a traitor during a round it usually lasts fairly long with no clear disrupt...

XDTM

Making jobs shorter is a way of working around short rounds, if you don't want those make rounds longer

XDTM

What we're trying to get across is 1) Player A does some shitty minor griff 2) Player 2 dunks Player 1 3) Player 2 does not feel sufficiently vindicated so they also call the admins to exacerbate a minor issue to something bigger than it is is not an ideal course of action and makes mountains of mo...

XDTM

It's kinda binary, if you have strength reduction or weaken in your deck it's easy otherwise it scales far fasten than most other bosses. Even the statue head only increases it's damage by 5 per turn, without wounds, after 5 "free" turns and with the slow debuff to help you kill it faster.

XDTM

I picked it up, plenty of synergies which makes it pretty fun. Another interesting part of the game is trying to minmax damage and defense during combat, because by lategame there are so many factors between relics, powers, and card combinations that getting the most out of your turn is complicated,...

XDTM

You can instantly purge someone's chems by giving them the recipe for smoke or foam, as it consumes all the reagents in the "container" to make the smoke.

A split personality with a different objective

Limski wrote:You can cuff xenos.
yes.

To add on that, they have a fixed 5 second uncuff time regardless of cuffs, so fake cuffs are just as good for that purpose

XDTM

A panic attack works fine, i'll put it in the list for the next brain trauma update.

XDTM

Paranoia: You see people as various kinds of antagonist in generic gear, hear gunshots/e-swords/explosions/bombs beeping and randomly hallucinate people attacking you. It should be hard as possible to distinguish from reality. Only noises really, the rest ends up being really boring "o I'm hal...

XDTM

Some of these ideas are really cool, but can't feasibly be coded without extreme snowflake. For example, for sociopathy i'd have to put a check in visible_message (an extremely generic proc) to prevent people with one specific trauma from hearing one specific message.

XDTM

Then it has no effect at all!

XDTM

It was originally like this, but it only resulted in people spamming the same phrase until it triggered. The PR that is up right now changes it into a 15 second window instead, triggering randomly. EDIT: Reading again i see you meant random words , and while that does make it very uncontrollable, a ...

XDTM

Consider that we're in the honeymoon phase of the feature where everyone wants to try it, i bet it'll become rarer as time passes. Still, i don't really like godwoken used tactically; i want powers to be mostly uncontrolled.

XDTM

As far as i can see, ICs have two timesgates: finding the right way to program them, and actually doing it. The former carries between rounds already, you can take notes yourself. IC_Printing would get rid of the latter, which is currently slow due to a fairly unfriendly UI. The problem here in my o...

Minor You feel like you have 2 left feet: you stumble and fall while walking Low attention span: You sometimes become a nonhostile mob and walk around aimlessly for a short while (Also, can you add phobias for ALL races (or at least fly people)) Major Pacifism:You can not switch to harm mode nor sh...

Crits only, they also have a separate chance of directly causing a Concussion brain trauma. Deconverting revs by beating their heads in is gonna be problematic.

Cerebral bindness: extensive damage to the brain's frontal lobe Nitpick but the visual cortex is in the occipital lobe I know i'd get something wrong. Nabski, i actualy had Prosopamnesia, agnosia, or whatever coded and functional, but it was an ungodly snowflakey mess and had to strip it for every ...

XDTM

Coded! I'll PR it when i have a few ideas to bundle together, to save my GBP.

XDTM

It's in, and cloning doesn't deal enough damage to cause severe traumas. I might change that in the future, though; early clones coming out paralyzed due to nerve damage does sounds realistic.

XDTM

Finally completed the wiki page for brain traumas: https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Brain_Trauma.

I could use opinions on existing traumas as well as ideas for new ones, as the list is still kind of small.

XDTM

Make sure to note which parts of the wiki need to be improved in the wiki forums! I try to keep it updated, when i can, and knowing what to focus on is very useful.

I think the demographic that gets bored post 30-minutes is separate from the one that wants to be able to achieve its goals before round end. Thing is, all it takes is someone in the command staff that belongs to the first group, an apathetic rest of the command staff, and the round ends early, rega...

Seriously, guns are only useful either to antags or to antag-hunt and would make the builders try to find an excuse to try them out on victims.

XDTM

I like these ideas, i think my next rework will make viro into a catch-the-wild-virus-and-use-it-for-good kinda thing. Maybe lavaland creatures would give more exotic diseases, xenobio could pitch in, and so on
