Re: 9*9 treasure rooms that can be docked with the station.

This sounds exactly like something that will get abandoned because nobody will be willing to make new treasure rooms. The rewards from such rooms should be considerable (but you also need to consider that it’s never going to be enough or it’s overpowered. it has to scale to population which isnt al...

PDA bombs blowing off 3/4 limbs

Whenever a PDA bomb goes off in my department, someone loses most of their limbs. I find this to be a bit excessive myself, as not only do they end up dead, it's a lot of work to bring them back to life.
Was this change even intentional, or a result of changing how explosion damage is calculated?
