Re: Money is worthless

I think if you want people to actively use money, you'd have to give every department a vending machine that they can restock easily at roundstart. Building a custom vending machine will likely take up too much time out of a round to have time to fill it when it might not even be used.

Re: New Cobbychem thread

I still feel that if coders want Botany to heavily contribute to medbay, they should formalize the relationship in some way. Botany's already a ghetto medbay, maybe make blood tomatoes not a joke item to provide medbay with a good source of blood, or add a mutation that produces organs.
