/tg/Station 13

Give us all an example of a challenge (or multiple) you've faced inside of this community.

This is intended to let YOU showcase how YOU might be handling future problems based on what you've already done, for a role slated to deal with plenty more.

All the preparation, roadmaps, campaign promises, and ideals in the world do not shine as brightly as they could if someone does not have the capacity to show they can follow through. Anybody can talk.

Break it down by telling us all:

The problem you...

Every healthy relationship needs to have set boundaries, and your future polycule will be no exception.

This does not just include your platform. Remember that most of head admin work is solving petty disputes and policy discussions that you can't expect coming.

What changes are GOING to happen, one way or another, with you in charge? What changes will be blocked as best they can by you?

Props if you can list things from other people's candidate pitches that put a sour taste in your mouth.

Here are our Trello categories:

Admin applications
Admin promotions (AO -> AC, AC -> TA, TA -> GA)
Internal promotions (Discord Jannie, Admin Trainer)
Candidate requests (trainers asking for new admins)
Ban appeals
Admin complaints
Policy discussions
Roadmap
Admin conduct/low activity reports

Any one of these slows down the others. It is part of why you should not be voting in candidates based off of roadmaps alone.

For example, we slowed way the hell down in the last few months because of...

As a head admin, you will encounter the absolute worst the community has to offer. You may think you are prepared, but unless you've been in these shoes before, you have no idea because head admins either don't like to or aren't allowed to talk about it. The following is a list of uncomfortable scenarios, some of which are adapted from reality (but if you think I'm talking about you, reader, I'm almost certainly not!!). Answer in detail, without sounding like a political robot how you would respond. If,...

For context admin auditorium was a channel in the discord that players could view, but only admins could post in.

What did you think about admin auditorium?
What do you believe were the benefits and drawbacks of admin auditorium?
Would you want to see admin auditorium return, and would you change anything about it?

Hi, I'm Iain0, aka Bob Stange, joined mid 2019, admin Q2 2021, consistently active since, 99% on Terry. In total have a few thousand hours in this game with a fairly even split between playing and admin.

My platform is quite neutral, I like where we've reached in a lot of places and don't expect a lot of things to change much. Terry being my home is, I think, largely in a good place for LRP, though needs some periodic kicks to keep it on the rails.

The large majority of the headmin job seems to revolve...

Whom
Hi, I'm Spookuni, poster of massive walls of text in policy discussion, on the github, and generally anywhere people will let me be opinionated.

I started on /tg/ in late 2019 on Bagil, moved over to Manuel a couple months after it started because of arseholes being griefers, and have played there since.

For some reason the current headmins have decided that I'd be a good person to keep the lights on and weigh in on questions of policy with massive text walls as the coming triumvirate's host vote...

I've read previous threads on this and understand how drones are hellish to balance.

Also, as per previous posts, they're virtually unplayable - not the least of which is the fact that you have to have joined and loaded the dispenser because no one else does it and it starts unloaded.

Consider instead of*** having drone access by default (after x hours) and rescinded after shittery, have it be unavailable until explicitly granted, maybe associated with a discord account plus playtime or something. It...

Replica Pods have been around for a long time, but with cloning removed they've never gotten much of a spotlight. Fear of the coders removing it to I suspect. It does have a lot of room in terms of gameplay space, what I'm proposing would be a spin on Revolution.
Invasion of the body snatchers: At fixed point in maintenance, a special plant tray and locker would spawn. A special plant tray that automatically harvests whenever the entity that has put their blood into the replica pod dies. The locker would...

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.
This reactor produces a...

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...

I've been playing some Tale of Two Wastelands recently, and I've got some appreciation for the humble Eyebot

It acts as a mini avatar of the enclave, repeating their doctrine and being friendly to the player unless the line is crossed with their master. E.D.E. is great in New Vegas and Lonesome Road
The same could be done with Chaplains blessing firebots, floorbots clean bots, and transform them into sanctified water dispensing variants of the chaplain bot.
There would be a few differences between the...

Right, so, remember this PR? I think it was sick, other people do too, so I'm willing to pay 200 dollars for it to done in a more merge-able matter.
This is quite the request, and by that i mean that its an utter pain. I don't expect this code bounty to be claimed any time soon, maybe in the near future when a new expressive open source tts solution arrives.

If you for some reason are interested, here are some guidelines:
You cannot use another service (like what the original PR did with NovelAI) (The...

Inspired by rim worlds drug system, you can now build up a tolerance to drugs. For gameplay purposes, this should probably only apply to drugs and other nieche chems (maybe posions) instead of all/most chemicals (you could get away with it on some, but it wouldn't make sense for things like acid or synthflesh).
Tolerance is measured on a scale from 0%-95%, and is tied to your liver. Your tolerance towards a certain drug increases as you take it, and decreases under the effects of chemicals, or liver...

This event may seem elaborate, but it would be really easy to pull off with just one player and one admin. Let me know if you'd like to make plans to run it and I'll draft a full script.

The Premise
Who doesn't love Italian opera? Pagliacci is a famous Italian opera that tells the story of a troupe of traveling performers in the Italian countryside. Canio, who plays the clown Pagliacci, is deeply in love with his wife Nedda, who plays the character of Columbina. Nedda, however, is having an affair with...

A somewhat well known mechanic in the game, is that you can execute someone on quite a long delay by using a gun on them point blank by targeting there mouths.

What if you could do that with other items too? With different effects just how different items have different suicide effects?

Antagonist weapons like eswords, cult blades, heretic blades, arm blades, and other very high damage weapons would be good candidates without having to have any fear of upsetting balance, but you could also implement it...

I'd like there to be a white cane item that could be held by blind characters. It'd make it clear that whomever is holding it can't see. $5 for it to be sprited and added to the game.

I'd also like for it to be crafted from an iron rod or two. $2.50 for the recipe to be added.

I'd also like for the white cane to be sold by the medbay vendor (where TTS devices are sold). $2.50 for the item to be added to the vendor.

I'd also like for the white cane to fold up so it can compactly fit in a bag or pocket...

Make it very difficult to hit anyone with melee attacks, have a high change to stumble and fall into someone's space when you punch someone. When you try to kick someone while they are down you trip over them. Melee weapons fly out of your hands half the time you try to hit someone with em. A chance for items to slip out of your hand and go be thrown backwards (exception for pies.) Easier to knock down with punches, ect.

With the sin of gluttony.. be careful as your eyes are bigger than your stomach!

So as we all either know or don't know. The reason morphs have dissapeared from the game is because they were only obtainable from gluttonys ruin, or admin intervention. Well the gluttonys blessing got removed because coders were tired of miners self-antagging (no matter how weak they might be) and eating the ore silo. Now they're removed and we have another useless lavaland ruin...Unless you have a need for a portal that...

We should have framework that measures how far a projectile traveled before hitting it's target.

Example implementations:

Bullets and lasers that have damage falloff or rampup based on how far or close you are.
Thrown hatchets will hit handle side one an odd number of tiles traveled, or blade side on an even number. Would hit point blank, 2 tiles away, 4 tiles away, ect.

Howdy folks! I'm coming to you all here with three very simple, yet in depth requests. These will require a mapper/coder to edit the final revision of BoxStation for me. MUST be BoxStation, not interested in the new In-Rotation maps!

The following are what I'm looking for:

1: Court Room returned to Old Box format. I would like the court room in current BoxStation to be reverted back to the original layout from OldBox. This is pre-tribunal.

2: Revert IA Agent back to Lawyer. This is of course purely...

Best bartender drinks are the ones that do the funny. Whether it'd be the good, (quadriple sec, Doctor's Delight) The bad (Beepsky Smash, Neurotoxin) Or the hillarious (Nar-Sour)

So I think more drinks should have different effects. Give people reason to come to the bar on more rounds.

Acid Spit - Allows you to spit the xenomorph neurotoxin projectile. But it does no damage and is purely for the funny

Driest Martini - You are now temporarily immune from being stained by blood. Take that bubblegum!...

Determination and Peptides shall no longer be shareable!!!

Maybe Lavaland isn't natural after all...

This anomaly converts station tiles into lavaland ashen floor at a high chance, with a low chance of lava. So you'll probably see like 1 - 2 lava tiles during the entire minute its there.

If it blows without being contained. It spawns a tendril on station in its place. Dangerous. (Engi get the RCD)

If you turn it into armor. When you get hit, instead of taking the hit, an unfriendly lavaland fauna spawns from your chest. Hopefully it hurts or scares off your...

Blood-Rites is the coolest thing ever. But it has a lot of build up. Gotta collect blood like a janitor, be protected for several minutes to unleash cool spells and ultimately sacrifice nar'sie before you use it a whole lot.

It's a 10/10 in Wow factor, but a 7/10 in usefulness. Thus, I think it'd be cool if there was another way to see it. Sort of like the chamelon gun (rip you server rebooting son of a gun)

Maybe that nar'sie lavaland rune can be repurposed and give miners the ability to absorb blood...

EDIT # 2: commission taken

I am looking to commission sprite art that is intended for a botany plant ideas, bean sprouts and jumping beans . Ideally they would look similar to their real life equivalents. Sprites needed would be seed packets, hydroponics tray growing stages(freshly planted, fully mature, fully mature + harvestable), as well as the actual harvested plant.

I don't really know how much this kind of commission normally goes for, but am open to offers. Feel free to respond here or PM if...

Ability to use Astrotame to give a custom flavour text ™ to food, like one'd change their name or description with a pen.
Purely cosmetic & if it to be used on a food that has a warning taste (for instance brains or tranquility ) it should appear alongside it instead of overriding (though maybe if you make it peculiar enough, people won't pay attention to the former still).

I was thinking, being only able to craft a few things outside of walls, boots, chairs, suits and hats with bronze, i was thinking something fresh with bronze, like Bronze weapons and bronze chainmail that goes in the jumpsuit slot and gives 5 bullet and melee damage reduction. The weapons i've been thinking of is the Bludgeoning dagger, which is pretty much a tail club which can switch between puncture damage and blunt damage when you use it in hand to switch your grip. Then there's the Bronze Javelin,...

Currently, there seems to be almost no use for newscaster newspapers outside of reading and spreading fake news, which is why i decided to give the idea of a Milwall Brick weapon as a stamina damage weapon that's inbetween the boxing gloves and the holodeck E-sword in-terms of stam damage. To craft the milwall brick, you need 5 newspapers, 100 units of water and 100 units of drying agent, both in separate beakers, what would result is a ghetto holodeck E-Sword, as the milwall brick would deal 15 stamina...

Hello everyone.
as far as i have played with circuits, i think they are lacking a bit of a conveniency.

i made a short list of things that could be added/changed to make circuits more convenient/pleasing to work with

--Multiple input components
now listen i mean the fact that each shell has its own distinctive input type is cool and all, but what about making those into separate components ? heres what i thought about

. a button - simple signal input
. a switch - simple 1/0 num input(latch)
. a text bar...

SOON.

I suggest we have a central fire alarm control computer in tcomms or the bridge that can turn off-on temp sensors and open the buggers or close them throughout the station.

Would be another spot for antags to mess with the station or a malf AI, as well as clearing paths for the crew to move.

It’s Wordle but for prime numbers

its made of the stuff, it'd be at least another avenue for the never seen before medicated sutures and other niche medical items ive only seen on the wiki.

It can just be general conspiracy's don't let it be to red pilled(Im not the FBI but the fbi might be watchin???)
