The mode doesn't feel like it works on non-manuel servers. The objectives might be interesting to pursue on the rp-servers, but most of the objectives are not inherently fun to pursue. For example, the russian gang objective doesn't even require antagonistic action to complete. It seems that a major...

Heretics has a very cool theme, though there are some gameplay challenges with the current iteration. 1. Some recipes overlap, causing you to accidentally create something other than you intended to. For example, poppy is used in both the living heart and mute undead recipe. If you attempt to raise ...

I'm enjoying the more complicated decision tree for medical treatment, but I feel that the existence of bruise packs and ointment in their current state are undermining most of the depth, they are a first order optimal strategy at the moment for many situations. For severe combat injuries, most dama...

The techweb path meta has been pretty stale and rigid. Virtually every round people rush adv mining then t4 parts, and then the round is almost over unless it's extended/traitors who have all been stealthy/someone followed a science research bomb tutorial. One issue with the multi-department researc...

If security becomes extremely disarm resistant, you'll probably see a sharp rise in body throwing, assistants building glass tables in the halls, and water puddles for the disarm/stun chance. Those do require more effort/skill to pull of than the typical disarm, but assistant mains will still likely...

A lot of backpacks don't have inhand sprites, if someone want to take a go. I've just made a PR to make them all have the grey backpack inhand as a placeholder, but actual colorful sprites for them would be nice. Explorer, mime, botany, chemistry, genetics, scientist, and virology backpacks have no ...

Most of this would be easy to code, making hiveminds explicitly a side antag would solve the issue of nothing going on for the crew w/o needing to code additional content. Just not sure if there's maintainer interest in having more antag types. Edit: Oranges says he isn't interested in more new anta...

Mode is pretty cool, still working on new stuff/fixes to try to get it to a more fun state, thanks for the work you did.

Random thought that I don't think I have the talent to implement: remove chaos induction, make psychic ghostrole/npc threats spawn in and attack the station periodically so the general crew has something going on (main issue is spriting)

Circadian no longer exists, see PR #44436

Selling people was an intended mechanic, you get a 1000 credit bonus for "selling a hostage"

I feel that the roundstart busywork should get cut out so that the action can get started earlier. If marines self-serve attachements (and xenos dont need to collect monkeys at roundstart) then the action could conceivably start 5-10 minutes into the round. Req can probably get extra responsibilies/...

Here's a thing i saw in the DM;CA code: Different clothes have different electrical resistances and affect the strength of taser shots. Perhaps certain clothes could give altered resistances to various types of stuns. For example, what if security jackboots cause slips to only put you into the crawl...

I'm making this thread as a central place to write down stuff you've found while code diving that isn't marked on the CM wiki. Here's what seems to be the xeno health regen code. It seems that regen is composed of a flat portion plus a percent of max health, plus another percent of max health if rec...

Using a baseball bat to fling a human or animal, dead or alive, into an electrified grille allows you to destroy the grille without getting shocked or creating tesla bolts.
