One problem I see is that charging people to do their job gets them to not do their job. Let's say we pumb the discount for intradepartment printing to 90%, from 80%. Then each part costs only one credit. In this case, printing 10 of each part costs 50 credits, which is a scientist's paycheck. On th...

I only rarely play AI because I find it rather hectic. I don't see it as "stare at horizontal space men all day". Also, if 2 humans are fighting each other outside of a consensual duel (or rage cage death battle), you are obligated to intervene to the best of your ability. Law 1 states tha...

For a permakill objective, maybe add a traitor item for making revival difficult. My idea would be a chemical, that has no effect on a living person, but in a dead person, causes their brain to disintegrate. Anyways, so if I understand correctly, codewise, kill objectives would change to "exami...

Another idea that could help with making rounds last longer: Allow the AI to recall the shuttle. That way, if the AI is law 2ed into calling the shuttle, another Assistant can law 2 the AI into recalling it again, while recalling the shuttle when it is actually necesarry would be a violation of law 1.

I think prisoners should be allowed to try and escape, and they should be allowed to break the rules as long as their rulebreaking is in service of their goal, for example, killing an officer to escape, or to avoid recapture.

Maybe change the way traitor uplink works from "20TC and that's it" to "10TC and 5TC every 20 minutes". Would give traitors an incentive to wait longer before acting.

Stillplant is wrong. https://sb.atlantaned.space/rounds If we count rounds that end with "Proper Completion", that last less than 50 minutes, at time of writing, we have 129709, and 129689, from 64 rounds on the first page. This is 3 percent of the rounds. Ideally, we should have a way to...

I do not believe that early shuttle calls are actually a problem. It's rare to see a round below 50 minutes that is not a team deathmatch round. Sure, early shuttle calls for stupid reasons do happen, and occasionally go through, but they don't happen frequently enough to warrant introducing a syste...

Problem with gulag is, there's a random element in the form of ash storms. For longer sentences, that doesn't matter. But for shorter sentences, an unfortunately timed ash storm can drastically extend your time.

A problem I have with this suggestion is that it doesn't differentiate between self-defense and retribution. Let self-defense be the use of force for the purpose of abolishing an acute threat to your person, your colleagues, or your workplace. The term "acute" is important here. A person p...

The problem outlined by terranaut can be avoided by adding a cooldown. So, if you were being law spammed, you only get a sound effect upon the first law change.

Tough shit if they are human. Call it out and hope a meatbag comes to your help. If they are not human, lock them in a room with beepsky so that they may attone for their sins. If they refuse to leave and keep making their way towards you, regard it as a law 3 issue and kill them. You can still sho...

The main thing removing maintenance access does is remove the ic shield from dropping and searching randos in the maintenance tunnels. Alternatively, you could simply say that while Assistants have access to maint, they only have permission to enter maint if they have an order from a superior that ...

Especially, why would you choose this instead of buying the assault pod? The assault pod wrecks whatever it hits, and its turrets stay fully intact in the process.

If you open it, you suffer 25 points of eye damage, and your bleed rate goes up by 20 points.

If you actually ask robotics to print you a defib, they'll normally oblige, as long as they have the materials, and if they station has even one competent shaft miner, materials will only be an issue for the piercing hypospray.

On cobby's chemicals, I think he overdid it with the side effects. Especially for the lower tier medicines. Curing 50 units of poison damage will destroy your lungs permanently. That's a bit over the top. On surgery changes, I wrote up a proposal for a surgery overhaul, and so far nobody has replied...

New chems have a naming system based on suffixed. -uri is burn damage, -ital is brute, -iver is toxin, and -mol is oxyloss.

How about a drug where the effectiveness depends on the ammount in the mob's bloodstream? Then you could make the positive effect ramp up linearly, and the negative effect quadratically. Would make it so that the drug is safe to use for healing, but you can't just pump people full of it and forget a...

One thing you forgot to mention about sanguibital: Unlike heparin, it doesn't cap the bleed rate. Unless there's something else that also limits the bleed rate I'm not aware of, sanguibital will just cause the bleed rate to increase indefinitively. So, if you're making a heparin / sanguibital murder...

I would like to try my hand at reworking the surgery system. What I have in mind would be replacing the current step-by-step model with a more free form model, inspired by Baystation's surgery system. Especially, this would allow doing several surgical tasks in one surgery, for example, replacing th...

I think Toxins and Xenobio can be locked down separately.

FIrst of all, on Meta at least, RD can already lockdown Xenobio. Speaking of Meta, that is the only station where Xenobio is separated by a little tunnel from the main station, so this would only work on meta.

Let's see, escaping out of perma requires a spacewalk from perma to arrivals. I tried it out on a private server on meta station. It's noted that donut requires a much longer spacewalk. What I did was as follows: I broke a window inside perma, grabbed the shard. Then I went to the shower, broke the ...

First, I'd like to correct a misconception: Cloning does not fix brain traumas. It copies all of them over. See line 234 ff of cloning.dm I think lobotomy is nice. I especially like that it forces you to make a choice: Do you live with your deep-rooted trauma, or do you take your chances with a lobo...

Surgical computers exist for a reason.

The surgical computer says the next step is "splice nerves".

Which tool do you use?

Looking it up on the wiki is cheating.

Another use of wrapping paper: conceal a weapon. Wrap up a stunprod, and it looks like a box, making it far less noticable.

A question if I may: How long should a visit to medbay take? For example, you are dragged into medbay in crit after being caught in an explosion. Assuming the doctor is competent, and you are the only patient, how long until you will be discharged?

I've decided to try and take a stab at the camera bug bug, as described in issue 39975 . As Angustmeta described, the problem is that the bug can not be reproducted on a private server. My suspicion is that the bug is caused by the configuration. However, since I don't know how your servers are conf...

In real life, money serves as a motivator to get people to do work they do not want to do. Where SS13 differentiates from real life, among others, is: people choose to play SS13, people don't choose to be alive.

Juggling sounds like it would be cool. I picture it like this: Clowns and mimes can juggle arbitrary objects, the more objects they juggle, the slower they move.

A question: Does the problem you are trying to fix actually exist? Most early shuttle calls eventually get recalled.

Well, I think drunkness would have to be made more dangerous in order for that to be a balanced weakness. Like, if you drink too much, you black out, and while in this unconscious state, you slowly deassimilate. Add a risk of puking, and then choking on your own puke. If you see somebody choking on ...

I actually was thinking about this the other week. It's brutally unfair to someone trying to play their round low-key and stealthy to unknowingly get watched so easily by someone with x-ray.

How about making the cure to being assimilated alcohol?
