/tg/Station 13

I played two families round today, back-to-back. For context, I never ready up and I have antag stuff turned off for Theo. First round, I became a family leader of the IRS midround. In short, that was some of the most RP fun I've had in a while. When everyone is into it, the possibilities are endles...

So far I like the changes to R&D a lot. I even like parts of the new interface. But everything takes up SO MUCH SPACE; it takes significantly longer to find what you're looking for, even with the search function. It's a shame it's been so miserable to use, since the changes make me wanna spend m...

A virologist chasing a suited CE trying to hug their virus into them

Idk if this falls under the umbrella of this thread, but round-enders like meteors, xenos, and wiz need to be tweaked or removed. I can't find anything fun about meteors. At all. Xenos have those fat stuns. Remove wiz. I've also heard some solid arguments about cult on manny, namely that it similarl...

You may think the meteors are the problem, but have you ever considered that nobody being willing to repair the station is the issue here? Engineers are one of the most unmotivated and inefficient department groups we have, you may have all engineer slots filled, but you can bet that it's all evolv...

https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=26169 I'm getting a strange feeling of deja vu. Idk if I wanna jump right to "remove meteors." I'm open to hearing what someone might enjoy about them. I also like the idea of giving engis more to do to hopefully nullify their effects...

Every time you get that announcement, even for meaty ores, everyone groans in frustration. Sometimes they call the shuttle, and rarely will you get objections because meteors aren't fun. Maybe the answer isn't to remove them, but to change meteor shields? Make them a roundstart thing in engi, make t...

For real. I enjoyed actually having to work with another department.

The active point generation was deemed bad by oranges per the design document (you can read it for explicit reasons) so I removed it. It wasn't in prep for any specific rework or would I have mentioned that in the PR. The only item that was mentioned in the PR that might be changed in the future wa...

It's written in the PR Word, thanks, just looked it up. I might lack contextual understanding, but my reading of this is that the dissections change is in preparation for a big R&D change. But then my question is still kinda unanswered. If the R&D change hasn't happened yet, why is this cha...

I was wondering what the reasoning for this change was? To my eye, this removes a cooperative link between Science and Medical which I found rather positive. R&D would get surgeries early on if they thought doctors would do some dissections. You invest a bulk of points early but get back more po...

Honestly I found out by lagging into a chasm and not falling in, and I thought the change was intentional. I was thrilled. I don't know if the Orange Squad (TM) has a particular reason for wanting to keep the chasm permadeath shit but I would much prefer it be removed for sure. Bring back the bug, I...

So I like the gamer skill a lot. It's a great meme. Like the other skills you gotta put real time into it for it to be of any weight. Unlike the other skills, there isn't any real impact on the station or the round. At best, you have an RPer getting to make some jokes about being a Legendary Gamer. ...

Yes.

Also - remove wiz.

I love this idea so much. I would turn it on for all my statics IMMEDIATELY.

Maybe some obsessions too, like nicotine addiction but to harmless shit like twinkies or copper. Compulsively thirsty, needs water regularly. A need for hugs. The possibilities are endless.

Bumping this in hopes of someone taking it on during the antag freeze

Last night around 2AM EST on Sybil I'm not here to complain about the admeme event, but for the sake of making this point I'll have to describe it. I'm posting after being encouraged to by other players in OOC. To be clear, this complaint is about Krusvik's response to the player response to their e...

Did some digging with the help of some friendly spessmen on the coding discord, turns out books only have a limit because they don't have any means of taking in more than one "page" since you can't add onto them like you can paper. Seems to me that this is less of a feature and more of an ...

Agreed! Make the bad change go away! Changes that are bad should be undone so that the game can be enjoyable for the players!

Add an emergency Cleanbot crate to the supply console.
Like 10 cleanbots.
Or 20.
Or 30.

Cleanbots.


You can already order medibots and floorbots, why not cleanbots?

If you do that, there should be also the option to select only two layers, since you can lay out only two layers at the same time like 1 and 2, 2 and 3 or 1 and 3 Most of times I only have to work with 2 layers at the same time, so it should be a selectable function OOH I LIKE THAT A LOT Yeah so ma...

I find myself agreeing with Wesoda more and more.

Also, remove wiz.

Add a fourth layer option: All. This would lay the selected pipe in all 3 layers at once. Clicking around pipes you've already lain is pretty miserable. This would speed up the construction of cooling loops and such. Just a little QOL addition. I suspect this would be easy to add, but I've never cod...

botany really only just needs a single beaker of mutagen to mutate blumpkins lifebringer chem dispenser can speedrun any plant in under 5 mins, and adding some sort of barrier to combustible lemons/killer tomatoes/ambrosia gaia seems reasonable I wish that were true. But it's all luck, so I'll go t...

I think it should just be a normal T1 dispenser, but I know some people think it should be a limited Botany-dispenser like the lifebringers have. In any case, it is clear to anyone who plays botany that the need for mutagen alone merits a dedicated machine. Even if you don't care to mutate your plan...

Yeah I'm not saying it invalidates the rules, quite the opposite. I wish the rules were more represented by the """""""""""""norm"""""""""""""""""&quo...

Hmmm okay, I'm mostly convinced by that, at least on paper. But while it all adds up on paper, it doesn't correspond with what I have experienced on /tg/ servers. The only point that might survive this lens discrepancy is that I did not try to figure out if the fight was "valid," that I wa...

Okay so my main response this whole time has been: "Okay, I will grant that maybe the guy hadn't done anything to warrant death, but the situation i was looking at did not indicate that to me. It looked like it was a real fight going on in there." So it's not just "lack of knowledge&q...

I'm not arguing FOR that playstyle, but you're correct that those are the inevitable implications. I am making an observation that we are pushed towards that kind of playstyle. I can (and I'm sure you can too, we all can) think of plenty of times where I get in a fight, knock the other guy die, get ...

I guess part of what I'm saying is: You're trying to say players should communicate more before jumping to conflict. I agree. But: Would you not agree that if other players aren't doing the same, you are at a disadvantage? Let's say I get arrested "just in case" after my partner, what woul...

Oh shit my bad, posted before you edited. I don't agree that's the middle ground. That presupposes that finding out was possible before things got to where I was afraid they were going, which is my partner's death etc, possibly followed by my death or imprisonment or something. I'm just not confiden...

Hmm okay that's a fair point. I suppose my response would exactly be "department loyalties". Any time you see a fight, no matter how things look, one person could be just getting fucked out of a whole round and it's hard to tell who that might be. Whenever botany gets attacked, I side with...
