KylerAce has killed maptick and been granted the title of maintainer

This has been updated a bit and moved to https://hackmd.io/@tgstation/SignalsComponentsElements

spookydonut is a maintainer now

What's with all the s names

I have consumed cyberboss for his headcoder powers

Also Actioninja became a maintainer at some point

You're free to give arguments for why you think a change is good or bad, but you are not owed a response. Especially when the arguments start repeating. Maintainers are all highly trusted and their sense for gameplay changes plays a part in their selection. The only controversial pr as far as the me...

Guide has been updated with some notes on elements, and on the creation of new components/elements

Spooky has stepped down from maintainer. They're welcome back if they ever feel comfortable with the role in the future.

I mean I could stick it on the wiki I guess. This is more just so I can link it at people when I have to explain something for the nth time

FAQ (Adding more as people ask questions that don't really fit in the above guide) 1. Why/How would I use signals on things other than components? As mentioned in the above post, signals can be used on things other than components. More specifically they can be used on any datum which includes thin...

This guide has been moved to https://hackmd.io/@tgstation/SignalsComponentsElements It will be left up here in the state it was in for posterity but you should go to the updated version instead. The datum component system (DCS) which was added in https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/29324 ha...

For now let's avoid wholesale removing the skill system. Obvious silly cases can be removed or replaced by id when appropriate.

Hi, I'm functionally the design lead for now during this beginning period. Feel free to ask any questions of me in the various chats. During this setup phase at least I'm going to try to keep the gameplay mostly similar and focus on code and performance improvements. Don't treat this as something li...

x10 is the amount radiation amounts scaled in the refactor, that needs to be done first and tested before we move on from that

I took a look at the amount of radiation damage it does and it *definitely* needs to be increased if you want that to mean anything. It wasn't increased during the radiation refactor and as of right now it does effectively nothing. To have any effect whatsoever from the radiation on someone you'd ne...

If someone wants to buff or modify xray guns that'd probably be fine. I'd either go with a minor increase to radiation damage or remove normal damage entirely and just make it a radiation gun as a counter to regular armor.

The admin and moderation team is fairly large, it would be a little silly to expect such a group of volunteers to all know about or care about every ban. The point after all is so that they can split their time between tasks that need to get done.

Should they tell people why george melon got banned just because other people ask? Yes, both the crimes of players and the punishments from admins should be matters of public record. If this is the case we should make the ban database and note database public entirely. I'd honestly be in favor of c...

As of a couple weeks ago most if not all maintainers have testmerge access now

I love how this happened because I just told floyd about some ancient issue still around about the airlock sound being incorrectly synced with the animation

Anyone who wants to join https://discord.gg/yEEA64E (It'll be deleted after the game is done, we just want to be able to have private voice chats if people want it)

It'll be starting on the 30th

Problem is it's codebase based teams, you'll need to find someone not tg to cleanse the galaxy or I'd volunteer as I'll probably be playing exterminators.

It seems the best time available for people is 8pm EST December 30th or January 1st

Anyone unable to make it to either of these feel free to say so and if there's enough of a problem with it being around new year we'll move it a week forward.

A few people are complaining about the date being on new year so we may move it to the following weekend instead

As far as mods go, the ones I was thinking of are: (Glavius's Ultimate AI Megamod) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1140543652 Improves the intelligence of the AI. A must have even with no npc because it means disconnected players are less dumb and your districts build sanely. E...

Some people have expressed interest in this before and the new years are coming up so let's do it. The basis is simple, a max size stellaris game with no npcs (maybe fallen empires) and teams based on codebase. It'll be a marathon game all played at once some time around new years. Plan to stay at l...

You could even flesh out the server management to make it its own minigame if you wanted to.

Maybe mso will finally take part in the game he hosts.

And maybe we could get him to code it

The project tracker can be found here: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/projects/12 I definitely feel that whatever mapping changes we want to do should all be done in one go. If we do really end up with integrated circuits being shared between science and engineering that's going to require a...

I killed all the players with radiation and in exchange for my good work got made maintainer.
