Headmin Election 16
Once you reach the age of 16 you can begin to get your beginner’s or learner’s driving license in many different places around the world, including the US (most states), Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, South Africa, Norway, and the Isle of Man. Which means this election, we're gonna fucking drive it like we STOLE IT.

The changes:
Mechs should be able to open stuff like they're holding a crowbar - firelocks and de-powered doors.

I feel like this shouldn't be too controversial an idea, but here's my reasoning:
It's a complete embarrassment to be marching around in a durand and not be able to open a firelock - but also able to punch it down! Similarly, for the odysseus and clarke, being able to respond to emergencies like fires or hull breaches is rendered almost completely moot, since firelocks always come down; I don't...

I feel like the direction the game is going is that every job is becoming more complex and that they require more and more experience to perform. I personally think that more complex =/= better by definition.

There was a time when I was able to perform every job on the station and it felt really good to use these systems as a traitor to achieve your goals. Quickly hop into chemistry, make some useful poisons or other stuff and use them for your shenanigans. Nowadays I just avoid doing that because the...

So, let's face it. SS13 is played in a way, way, way more powergame manner here in TYOOL 2022 compared to when all the rules about not pre-emptively prepping for malf AI were written and designed.

Those rules were written for an era where the crew was not roundstart arming for war ops tier threats every shift and security wasn't allowed to antag check random people via shotgunning them into crit, checking their bags for antag items, and leaving them in medbay lobby dying if they find none. The fact of the...

The new escalation policy confuses me and I'd like to open a discussion about it to get clarification.

If an arrest is not obviously valid, it follows standard escalation Non-antag players may lose any OOC and IC protections if they choose this path and should consider ahelping if they believe they did nothing to warrant being arrested.

In resisting arrest, non-antags should not loot officers and should not detain or incapacitate officers any longer than is necessary to escape or explain themselves....

The following components that are listed below can only be made using map maker or admin tools but i would like to see these features available in game for the following reasons i will list below

1)Gas sensor
Path : obj/machinery/air_sensor Screenshot (7).png
Purpose : currently used inside tank chambers located in atmospherics for monitering gases inside them
Reason : Engineering protolathe after research can manufacture new HFR components to create more hypertorus reactors.

Byond Server : windows 514.1585 installer

Hosted a local private server and i'm the only person playing in it just to see whats up. Also been playing this game for just 2 months and this is my first time ever posting here

So I've been playing around with hypertorus reactor in atmospherics and rather than storing the gases produced from it in cannisters I decided instead to build dedicated chambers for storing them similar to the existing chambers for o2 , n2 and other...

I've noticed this pattern of players who are so invested in their characters/winning that they cannot accept death, or loss.
It upsets me because it leads to behavior counter to what I believe the game to be about, like intentionally not killing/reviving after targets as antags because they're my friends/I don't want to be mean , or getting so wrapped up in winning that you ruin the story of the round.

I believe this is a player mindset issue, caused by time and coders slowly taking the edge off things,...

I will post dumb smooth brain thoughts here

Because I can and need an outlet for them
Maybe at least one a day

Are quebecois snow cajuns

I think stasis beds as a concept are flawed. They take away to most thrilling aspect of our medicine system namely the time pressure. There are already plenty of medicines or methods you can use to stabilise a patients, the sleeper just makes everything non-urgent.

honestly, i find eyes in the dark and deformed faces is the shit, gets me cold and shaking

the dark tall man staring at you in the corner is so fucking creepy.

empty spaces are also pretty creepy for me, its just.. unnerving

LIKE A BOLT FROM THE BLUE, IT'S TIME FOR TRIALMIN REVIEW.

Pandarsenic has now been in the .txt as a Trial Admin for roughly two months.

Please use this thread as public review; it's encouraged for players to comment on how well/badly the trial admin has done and whether or not they think the trial admin should be made a full admin, if they should be removed from the .txt or if their promotion should be delayed.

Floating this idea for some time and after a recent discussion on Sybil, took the opportunity to put it together.

Death is only the beginning

For years Nanotrasen dealt with a fair share of supernatural enemies such as wizards, vampires, zombies, revenants and blood cults, so why not throwing another horror staple into the fray? Enter the Space Mummy, a creature that's the embalmed body of a notorious member of a lost spacefaring civilization.

Once triggered as a midround antagonist, a mysterious...

This is not the place to discuss ban appeals, admin complaints, or ban requests.
This is for specific feedback for this administrator.

Your selectable age as a character is hardcoded to be between 17 and 85. It seems reasonable that someone running TG code may want to raise these numbers.

Chameleon Projector usage makes your claustrophobia kick in! Not fun to find out.

This is mostly a continuation of this thread of course: But It is an actual implementable proposal instead of a general discussion and I think it is good to separate the two.

I think silicons should be exempt from rule 4, specifically the part about being able to treat antagonists like you want. Why? Because without this they will never be a third party, just validhunters with varying amounts of limitation.

Antag status is too deeply ingrained in all silicon thinking, currently even human traitors get...

I've been on a roll today talking about features that feel like they hate the players using them. Fermichems recipes!

Recipes are inaccurate now, upon which all of your chems will turn into useless goop that isn't what it says it is. If you want the right recipe, you gotta know the secret meta combination. Or find a video of how to accurately make it on youtube.

It's understandable that we want more depth in chemistry, but it could really use some easier in-game guidance. So players don't have to build...

Using the banhammer on Pete should gib him.

The countless years and servers they've griefed the chef and crew knows no bounds. It should end now!!!

There are people who only play Captain, HOP, Chemist, Xenobiology, Security. But when you do this with antags it's suddenly a heinous crime? It doesn't make sense.
Why is antag rolling such a big deal? If someone only wants to play when antag, who cares if he suicides as assistant roundstart? Would he have had a great positive impact on the round had he not suicided? No.
Antag rolling is a victimless crime, and is way less severe than blatant griefing, metacomms, metagrudging ,yet admins seem to treat...

i want to grow cacti

The current moodlet system seems to have been kept deliberately vague but carries some pretty hefty mechanical impacts (Movement speed, hunger rates, effective health/crit meter). Fixing a low mood, or attempting to maximize mood, and even attempting to figure out what is damaging your mood can be an annoying unintuitive experience, with only a few quirks that allow this system to be somewhat under player control.

I think implementing a more catered moodlet quirk system, on top of the current one, that...
