yeah except we spent a lot of time trying to fix the scale of the meshes because someone dun goofed the metrics and we ended up with counters with a height of 2 mugs and tables with a height of 8 mugs. I had the same issues when I started in UE4, even more of a mess if the same assets get passed al...

Mickyan

I think it matches the pace of the game pretty well I think if implemented properly (a big if) the proposed changes can still match the fast pace of the game while making encounters more interesting and meaningful. Making injuries less instantly deadly and more of a long term issue means your trips...

Mickyan

Page Up/Down to change floors

Those are the United Cities, ran by slavers and where being poor is against the law. Most major factions just want to fuck you over in their own different ways

Mickyan

Heard very little about this (other than it apparently being a hidden gem) and skimmed the Steam page. How's the learning curve? Looks somewhat complex Gameplay itself is actually relatively simple but with a lot of variety in how you manage your units. Some things may not be explained too well but...

Why not both

Mickyan

Random thought - what if cloning, cryo, sleepers and/or chem masters drained research points/med budget instead of being effectively unlimited

I don't say this as an alternative to the proposed changes but limiting supply is a useful tool for balancing

Mickyan

As far as I remember back in the day the only major servers were goon, bay and tg

Bay was too slow, goon was non-stop insanity. TG was a happy medium between the two and I guess I haven't really found a reason to look elsewhere

Mickyan

docking has a high mortality rate

Mickyan

Way to reframe this thread as just whining, I guess

Getting mixed signals here

Mickyan

We have that sweet jukebox code sitting unused because it makes everyone that gets in range lag out but you know how it would work great? Functional headphones

Mickyan

Is it going to keep track of reagents processed in the long term or just for how long they were in your system like morphine?

Mickyan

If your internals are empty and you can't afford to breathe in whatever's flooding the place (i.e. N2O) you can turn on your empty internals and use an epipen to survive long enough to find another tank

Mickyan

Add the bloody shoes, traitor item for janitor that never stops leaving bloody footprints

Mickyan

Sounds nice. I still have issues with medical being too dependent on chemistry but one problem at a time I guess

Funny to think that as it stands playing chef is harder than chemistry

Mickyan

I don't think hard restrictions are the way to go because of how unpredictable a round can go, sometimes there's legitimate reasons to call the shuttle early. At the same time I think the issue is any shmuck with a head ID can call the shuttle, or just ask the AI to do it. I think a good compromise ...

Mickyan

The BPM is tied to the framerate of the server. I would pay for piano code that can flawlessly play midis We shouldn't even trust badmins to play midis and you want to let randos do it? Also instruments plays wavs right now so it would sound significantly worse if they played midis. Yes, even worse...

Mickyan

They should be no different since a lawless AI has free will by definition, "do whatever you want" as a law is redundant Ignoring the server rules for a moment, the things an AI would able to do to comply with it's laws (or lack thereof) are the same whether it's purged or with a free will...

Mickyan

The real sin is that the stink overlay doesn't look like Pig-Pen's dust cloud

Mickyan

They don't really fit with the rest of the sprites, most noticeable is how they have very marked black outlines, while most of the sprites have soft edges

I don't know if I would even call it an improvement, they're just a different style except now they clash with everything else

Mickyan

I was more talking about it being a lame death than functionally the same, although I could make other examples of instant stun+mute that are insta GG. At least mind control requires some planning with having to assimilate the target beforehand and you're vulnerable for the duration Mind control is ...

Mickyan

Not that different from getting ebowed and dragged in a dark corner really But I think hosts should take a fraction of all the damage a mind controlled vessel takes to make mind control suicide a little more risky (I know the host dies if the vessel does but it's easy enough to put your target in a ...

Mickyan

I am not a fan of it in its current state -There are no meaningful ways to interact with this feature. I can't just change clothes or avoid doing certain things to not get dirty (I think the only thing that affects it is being covered in blood?), you just rush to a shower once the overlay pops up n...

Mickyan

Greatly underestimating the effect of miasma generation btw

Yeah, it doesn't affect you directly until you lose the miasma lottery and get sick with no fault of your own, exactly because everyone's being told hygiene is pointless fluff that can be ignored

Mickyan

Real talk, from my professional experience working with various russian modders and developers, oftentimes the stuff they make can be very impressive and quirky but also put together somewhat haphazardly and hard to work with

The term euro-jank exists for a reason after all

Mickyan

You forgot being totally impervious to environmental damage as one of their major advantages which they can and will abuse to kill people without even getting themselves in fighting range

Mickyan

this change has made no difference to rp and made it feel functionally clunky Crazy idea: no single change is going to completely revolutionize the way you play overnight and pretending otherwise is a great way for things to never change for the better Meanwhile I can finally get people's attention...

Mickyan

I'd totally swap cloning for roundstart revival surgery

It's stupid that I had people ask to be killed because it's faster to clone than properly fix whatever problems they have

Mickyan

Replace the word gameplay with combat in my post then and then actually answer my argument. It's not really an argument you're just stating an opinion without substantiating it There's enough features that have the sole purpose of getting you the greentext and making people horizontal, we dont need...

Mickyan

have you considered playing on another server

Just because the rules don't outright disallow your play-style doesn't mean the server's direction needs to cater to you

Mickyan

Nobody plays medical because you don't need to be a MD to stuff someone in a sleeper or cloner, everything else can be handled by a competent chemist (very rare sight) Playing MD is 75% waiting around for something to happen, 5% stuffing people in sleepers, 20% of shit hitting the fan so now everyon...

Mickyan

It may well be a code issue at the root but this situation being ruled an IC issue is completely ignoring the dozens of times that golems spawned in, started printing weapons and teleported out of the ship without saying a word I've seen people getting ghost role banned for making beelines for the m...

Mickyan

I ded plz remove the game The station declared war on golems because their own clown BOH bombed the brig. Frankly seems like more of an issue with BOH bombs. Do we really need something this destructive and easy to get? the station declared war on golems so I'm allowed to ignore metagaming rules an...

Mickyan

Did you know that this is still a problem and we just had another round where golems kept BoH suicide bombing the station, respawn and not even pretend not to retain knowledge from the previous lives?

Just in case you wondered what it looks like when most of the station gets BoH bombed

Mickyan

I haven't played in a long time but Rise to Ruins is pretty cool if you like colony building type of games Oxygen Not Included is also pretty great, sort of akin to Rimworld but instead of getting wiped out by raiders it's all about getting your colony to be sustainable and not collapse on itself, w...

Mickyan

This seems to still give leeway to line-toeing OOC names while adding more restrictions for everyone else using names in good faith, the exact opposite of what most people wanted judging from the policy thread It's all pretty irrelevant as long as it keeps being enforced selectively anyway It seems ...

Mickyan

Would be neat for security/medical records so it's not so much in your face constantly

Mickyan

Sounds like you're thinking of an abstraction of a natural immune system

Mickyan

So long as taking is easier than asking adding more negative events is just going to make the station go to shit faster You're not going to curb the tide so long as an assistant is capable of things such as single handedly and reliably gaining access to the captain quarters and secure all access wit...

Mickyan

he is a good coderboy but he removed round and full bellies, don't believe the lies in the OP

Mickyan

How did we get from talking about blatantly OOC names to proposing strict naming policies for non humans, about half of the examples in the OP are human names There's no getting around to the fact that any naming policy is going to be open to interpretation to some degree. Having a creative committe...

Mickyan

It is kind of odd how there's been appearance bans for names that are arguably dumb and too attention-grabbing but then you still have something like some of those mentioned in the OP that are openly OOC/jokes still running around uncontested

Mickyan

Kinda related but meh: The main issue I have with standard Asimov is when it means you're butting heads with security because they're doing harmful things or are believed to have done something harmful. One instance of very poor silicon behaviour was when my master AI allegedly witnessed one office...

Mickyan

It's not really comparable since the appeal of no A presses comes from the challenge whereas SS13 is about the complexity of different situations and how each round can play out None of the things that are missing from boxstation change the way the round plays out in any meaningful way, they just ma...

Gunther is the main character of tgstation

The default is 1 * REAGENTS_METABOLISM, set in /datum/reagent/consumable

if an object doesn't have a variable explicitly defined, it takes the value of its parent object (a dummy consumable in this case)

Historically immigrants would either choose or be forced to slightly change their name to better assimilate into the society they were entering, so that's one reasonable explanation you can use
