Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it. I understand your concerns about balance. The following mitigations are part of the design: - Tech is still gated by research points, so research progress will always be the slower of experiments AND research points. If the machine runs at maximum effici...

Edited with more details. Feedback appreciated.

We currently have: SM Power output: High Antag potential: High Complexity: High Turbine: Power output: Medium Antag potential: Medium Complexity: Medium Solars: Power output: Low Antag potential: None Complexity: Low The proposed LEG appears to occupy a spot between SM and the Turbine. Not a good pl...

Problem: Experiments are repetitive and get boring when done multiple times Problem: Station power is binary. There's either enough of it, or not. Extra power isn't useful, players build powerful SM setups mostly for fun alone. Solution: Leave experiments as is with no changes. Add a second, option...

Hate is earned when indignation meets powerlessness. And you haven't earned it.

Come back when you'll have destroyed something beautiful and irreplaceable.

Terry: Greytiders and validhunters playing TDM and communicating exclusively in Gamer Words and memes. Insuls are meant to be stolen, tech storage is meant to be raided, AA is meant to be leaked. The only RP is E, the interrogation room is for stashing pipe shotguns or chemfactory AP syringes. The o...

I feel useless trying to re-pressurize area as an atmos tech. Handling breaches is so demoralizing as there is no way to effectively heat the air back up as it cools down too quickly to do anything. I like the new system but there is no interesting way in interacting with it besides calling the shu...

Like: * Puts the "OH MY GOD" into "OH MY GOD HE HAS A LASERGUN" * Having projectile and hitscan mechanics is good variety * Hitscan makes this a better weapon to chase a fleeing tator in a crowded corridor - less incidental fire * Aesthetically pleasing Dislike: * Hitscan increas...

has planned for the future cool stuff in the works Whether thalpychem PR is better for the game is a separate question from whether it lays groundwork for potential future work that ultimately may be better for the game. I see the potential, same as you, and have said as much. But that potential is...

Mine is: Speed: * It slows chemistry down considerably, 2x - 3x. * Fundamental ratios of chemistry - beakers, chem dispenser charging, effective drug amounts - have not been changed * It introduces no mechanics to compensate for this slowdown. Risk/reward: * The penalty for non-interaction are weake...

Changelog below. add: Adds a new reaction mechanic that allows reaction to occur in an incremental fashion. This uses temperature to determine reaction rate and pH to determine purity. The hotter it is, the faster it reacts. Keeping your pH within the range (default 5-9) will keep it pure, with the ...

Very knowledgeable about the game, never said no when I pestered him with questions. Very relaxed as admin, never seen him harassing people for poor reasons and is very tolerant. Sometimes too tolerant of LRP/NRP/validhunting/general shittery, but that is personal preference and subjective. When dea...

This is why I've always said to remove silicons. They are robots, but played by players, and will most often at the end choose themselves. I cannot say how many times I've seen silicons bug out of combat and other situations, while surrounded by Humans, thus leaving them to said catastrophe to die ...

More of a hands on kind of admin, but is wise about it, so his machinations are generally well received, or at the least interesting. I see him use build mode a lot, leaving little interesting locales for players to find or for his own amusement or curiosity. Vibes well with Terry when deadminned an...

The ethereal equivalent of John Smith is Uranus XD.

Needs section on borged antagonists.Specifically: * whether interpretation of laws changes in any way (probably not?) * whether antag token is inherited when borged granting griff protection (probably yes?) * whether it's OK for a borged antag to murderbone nonhumans on Assimov (probably yes?) * whe...

Hit me with something good, scalie whisperer, and I might actually start playing lizard.

Ascii spam people are the spessman equivalent of sovereign citizens. Change my mind.

I've added a poll.

tendrill chest spawn CLOSED KEYS from mining vendor OPEN them for 1000 mining points solved the problem of certain miners rushing tendrils and not mining It's better than the current design but has caveats compared to GPS removal: * Locks goodie crates away from non-miners, including greytiders, gr...

This is meant to nerf the playstyle where nontag players use miner role primarily as PVE gamer gear collectors.The extreme form of this is when miners mine just what's needed for PKA upgrades & cutter and not touch the ORM ever again. Why: * GPS is meant as a safety device. Tendrils are very low...

It's a shame that humans are so braindead and self-defeating racism must continue in the 26th century/against fictional races in a video game Spessgame is not meant as a template for the society of the future. Real racism bad. This is about whether more interesting social interactions can be achiev...

The problem with this idea is that the first time a lizard does something remotely greytidey there's always gonna be that guy that's like "GAS THE LIZARDS IT'S RACE WAR" and use the existence of that gamemode to justify why they decided every lizard was valid Imagine revs but they don't e...

I love racism, even if imaginary. That being said, players most deserving of a tabling, vitriolic remark and a ride down disposals generally play humans as the optimal species. I believe the primary cause of species blindness is that there is no real reason to ever be paranoid about a species. Cult ...

It is transparent by the nature that nothing suggests you lose traitor, even your IC memory still very much suggests that you have the objectives and so long as you are within laws you are ok. I'd say your knowledge of the code, and how memories tab is mechanically tied to antag status, is not repr...

Thanks for an in-depth reply Cobby. Which is a fair play if you dont consider the fact they are considered dead for the purpose of greentext if they stay as borg. Heaven forbid you have to watch borgs to make sure they act up, antag or otherwise. I did, the body would be formaldehyded and the borg f...

you have enough intelligence to know the intrinsic nature of how the bbeg's brain functions when placed in a MMI but not enough to law 2 it carefully or append laws to it so it doesnt act out of line? You missed my original point, which was about intentional and voluntary borging of one of the BBs,...

You're right that it creates more work for the crew and AI by keeping them around and disincentivizes people from borging antags. But there are so many counters to borgs acting out (flashes, robotics console to lock or detonate, new laws, verbal orders...) and I think this niche case is exponential...

Cases to consider: 1. If antag retains antag status after borging, then borging is not a viable way to remove the threat from the station. Why would I give AA and temp/wound resistance to an antag instead of gibbing? Gibbing doesn't give the player the option to continue playing the round, but it do...

There's raw logs elsewhere, they're easier to read:

I cut your module wire to reset your module. This is the equivalent of stunning someone and taking a stun baton out of their backpack and is easily reversed via the module menu. That is incorrect. As you know, security borgs have been removed from the game - and with that, the option to configure a...

If the announcement was before the first cyborg then it would mean the second implemented cyborg was implemented without an announcement. That is incorrect. While there was no global announcement for the second time I was spawned, I have announced my arrival using security comms and specifically ad...
