/tg/Station 13

I'm too lazy to type much out so the tl;dr is that I'd rather work on something that doesn't invole dealing with the /tg/station community and isn't a net negative in terms of my life. Anybody is and always has been free to touch the gamemode themselves, if nobody does or they pull a robustin and ru...

Gangs is a mode that can produce incredible rounds but is bogged down by player incompetence. Unless you can skill match the three bosses (antag elo lol), it's a miracle when a gang round doesn't end one of two ways: 1) One boss recruits the right people and it becomes revs but with the dominator. 2...

Because everybody is here seems to be on a different page, OP is referring to the halos hivemind hosts and vessels get when they use the recently added (very late game) One Mind power, in which the host and every single vessel becomes a part of the pink halo gang and proceed to bully the fuck out of...

An absolutely massive Assimilation PR has been merged. The changes are too numerous to list here, a full description of the changes is in the PR's description.

inter departmental interaction should be about working together to acheive advanced cool stuff, as it is right now botany relies on chemistry to do anything cool and chemistry doesn't rely on botany at all. Chef has the same issue, he relies on botany immensely (except he can go to cargo to get foo...

it's not comparable if it has to be able to compact itself into something that fits in a bag now is it?

the emags and glue kit from /vg/

it's just 15 emags and 15 bottles of glue

2. Forcefields need a different sprite than the fucking wizard wall. Personally I think it should be purple like xcom psionics however it would be nice if it wasn't just wizard sprites. edit: if one was really lazy then you could look for the holy ward trap or something. i never see it get used. 1....

The name reveal on mindshield has been removed , and replaced with a temporary pinpointer for both parties plus an alert. The pinpointer selects a target randomly, but is very heavily weighted towards nearby and stronger/more brazen hivemind hosts. Other name reveals have also been swapped for this...

I've been thinking of making a PR that A) removes the gene machine B) makes some plants a bit more special, because things like explosive lemons/death nettles/glowshrooms/killer tomatoes are cool. However it'd be on indefinite delay until my crippled attempts at spriting form up. Please stop making...

true facts

may they get the rope too

That's it, we've lost the game to the pvp crowd. You didn't watch the video, did you. i love core-a-gaming as much as the next guy but SS13 is a roleplaying game, not a 2d fighting game, things should not be balanced around every role being able to meme as hard as possible on people. anybody who st...

yes
addiction has always been garbage and doesn't actually work like an addiction does
hell, i'll add this change myself if I don't see a pr up for it soon

anybody who started playing botany after the introduction of the plant dna manipulator has no right to post on this thread

As someone who spent a year mostly playing as chemist and balancing/attempting to overhaul chemistry as a whole on Hippie Station, I'm gonna give my thoughts which are hopefully more informed than most. I know TG isn't Hippie, but most of what I have to say still applies. First of all, Chemistry wil...

A PR for my the first two changes I mentioned is currently up and pending review. 2. Forcefields need a different sprite than the fucking wizard wall. Personally I think it should be purple like xcom psionics however it would be nice if it wasn't just wizard sprites. edit: if one was really lazy the...

Repressed Trauma (+2) You've witnessed some horrifying crimes committed by the Syndicate, and you try your hardest to forget what you saw. Any reminder of those events will send you spiralling into a panic! This could be a fun one, where you get terrified by seeing red hardsuits, eswords and ebows ...

right now i could explain a lot of things like what the original vision for assimilation was, what changed in implementation, what concepts didn't make it, or why i've been awol for a while, but none of that matters (unless somebody actually cares). here's a tl;dr of what i'll be doing with the mode...

this is the only true way to play sec

To add, if you think "Pffft, 3 hours is not long at all", well, it is me as I had just finished completing my homework and signed on . This was on the second round I played today and a 3 hour ban is a ban for 3/5 of the hours I have to play tonight. I am not trying to make an unban appeal...

i do genuinely believe that friendly antags are an issue, I'm not salty over the wizard suicide ruling as I have never suicided as a wizard and have no intention to. I never made a comment on friendly antags before because I was under the impression that solo antags are allowed to do that type of t...

Give security officers roundstart pistols.

Finding a stechkin roundstart in the contraband lockers, gunning down fleeing perps and summarily executing cuffed people like I'm Judge Dredd was way more fun than it had any right to be.

i made this mode and was unironically considering asking naksu "hey can I port my own highlander vs traitor ripoff for your 100$ gamemode bounty". if there is demand, i'm willing to port it to modern tgcode, i know my own code and it'd take an afternoon tops. The way it worked on Hippie is...

>people are actually meta-ing the fact that assimilators have to stand still

this is why we can't have nice things

any more complaints and this is getting fixed code-wise

Hippie vampires are really fun, you should port them. Theres a lot of cool stuff, bonuses for succing enough people and what not. Coders might dislike how it indirectly encourages murderbone but I really enjoyed playing as one there. Although, it was relatively easy for me to rise to the highest ti...

My original intention was for Hosts to be nonhuman and the Assimilated crew to be human. This was before I started coding, and before mind control was an implemented power so it brings a lot of problems. Vessels(assimilated crew) can be temporarily taken over by the antags, and they get to keep all ...

What the fuck is this mode then? Can you tell if someone is mind controlled? Not unless they start throwing out powers, at which point you've probably got a decent case for self defence. I might take out that part of the wiki article, but basically killing them as security is a bad idea because unl...

Mode just got merged (Github), wiki article is here(tgstation wiki), discuss.

Edit (13/02/19): Assimilation 2.0 has been merged (Github)
