Something I've not seen in many years and was surprised to realise I missed is sting operations. The best one I remember was when the sec team recruited an assistant to mooch for space drugs. I had enough spare energy so he gets his diversion, but seems he had a wire because next moment a full sec s...

Just getting my first chance to wander now, enjoying it so far! Got on okay in Hydro by myself for as long as that lasted. There's a missing wire in chem, under the glass table by the bin: https://www.jegub.net/tg13/kilowire.png The door into chem from the lobby is a bit of a liability, and medbay's...

There were probably prior rounds where I wandered aimlessly and tried to open a toolbox by mashing it into my head, in the first memorable one I was a doctor. My PDA exploded and one of my colleagues patched me up and stayed with me until I got my hearing back. We headed to the bar, got some drinks ...

Could we have examples of observed behaviour that requires addressing in order to get a handle on what specific issues there might be as stands? Wall o' pinions: The initial problem with having to develop a supply chain every time would be ensuring that the starter stock went into roundstart staples...

Tch, all this pagan pageantry.

The first scenario that springs to mind is someone getting a full set of implants, currently they can chat with the surgeon, take care of business/call people chumbises over radio rather than watching a black screen for a few minutes. If there were any ambiguities such as the handedness of tool impl...

Patient, diligent and forbearing, helps players with projects and organises events with a deft touch to prevent low pop rounds from petering out.
10/10, improves any round just by being there.

Laughably simple, but potentially useful: Soulcatcher {"assembly":{"type":"type-b electronic device","name":"Soulcatcher","desc":"Enter a frequency and scan some soil or a tray, any plant within will then be harvested if the device is ...

I thought a bit of the old water and potassium would make for a good illustration of the possibilities, you can make a methsplosion as well but it will presumably take out the dispenser on the first iteration so a succession of smaller explosions could make a bigger cumulative mess. 96 units of Hot ...

If tying the opportunity for a tangible or symbolic benefit to a chance outcome did not provide a dopamine hit then we wouldn't have casinos and the vast majority of board games and role-playing systems would either be substantially different or have never been developed. With one exception which re...

The lifebringer ghost role is a fun addition to the game, but it seems to be giving a woefully false impression of what is expected of botanists on the station. I'd like to address the perception that botany requires huge amounts of reagents. The first order of business for a botanist after unlockin...

When chemistry dispensers were altered to be movable, my initial reaction was vaguely positive; if the lab was partially destroyed the equipment could now be relocated somewhere safe, I thought. In practice what it has meant is that one or both dispensers will get stolen, most frequently by botanist...

The wiki is in need of an update, as Doctor's Delight still heals you, it's the active ingredient in Syndi-Cakes. Its usefulness is diminished in that it greatly accelerates your digestion now, but there are times when being hungry but healthy is a worthwhile trade off.

I'm kicking myself for forgetting The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but if you get the chance try listening to the original radio series, the book adaptations lost something in their subsequent polishing and the groundbreaking audio effects add a lot to the atmosphere. The TV series was notable ...

These stray from the definition of relevant, but I would suggest they complement an enjoyment of the game. Others Will Follow is beautifully crafted and well worth nine minutes of your time if you haven't watched it yet. Planetes is reasonably firm as sci-fi goes and would seem to warrant inclusion....

In order to get something decent you'll need to start with a good MIDI file, I've had a brief look and only found one for the Baldur's Gate theme, which is an adaptation for guitar and recorder. It seems to me that it would be tricky to do justice to something that epic. The file was simple enough a...

You can use some toxin to make weed killer, pest killer and plant-b-gone. I also generally add some neurotoxin, as in the chemical; you can cut out the long heating time by adding 5 units each of chlorine and fluorine. The initial stun from injected miner's salve and the illusion of health it provid...

How exactly do Health Sensors work? Can they be used to make dead man's switches? A health sensor will monitor the bearer's health and trigger when they go into crit or die. The former is the default setting, you can toggle between the two by using a multitool on it. I like to make synthflesh and e...

ADMIN LOG: Reagent explosion reaction occurred at Chemistry (JMP). Last Fingerprint: jegub/(Reed Glover)? (FLW). ADMIN LOG: Explosion with size (1, 2, 5, 0) in area Chemistry (134,123,1 - JMP) Reed Glover has died at Chemistry. As much as I hate to dispel your faith in my competence, I should proba...

I'd been meaning to post something in the ideas forum, then I found this thread. Here are a few suggestions as to how botany might be balanced: Nitroglycerin I had a brief browse around looking for the typical oil content of a corn kernel, as opposed to the isolated germ, and saw figures in the rang...

I always get a sinking feeling when I see that a dispenser has been removed, regardless of which job I'm doing. I guess it counts as a peeve since I'm posting here. I appreciate that it can be frustrating if no one is around to dole out mutagen, or they're busy, or they're new and agonise about hand...

We need a plant producing anti-suffocation chemical. Space Tobacco contains salbutamol, isolate that and eat a bushel and you should be good for a while. As far as using potassium to break out goes, I've been putting 50 units of water in the grinder's beaker next to the wall, standing adjacent and ...
