I'm out of things to do in-game as a chemist other than produce meds and make narcotics so tell me some stories about your wildest most powerful/most dangerous chemical concoctions. I definitely won't test them on assistants.

Deep Core Drilling, TG style
All of this refers to Lavaland Mining, but Icebox can easily work with this

Me and the boys in TGeneral thought about bitrunners and miners and said “just add Deep Dives'’ so here I am writing about it on a google doc because the forums are down. Enjoy?

The Drill

You and your dwarven wanna-be’s in arms head to the Deep Drill Pod which (at least in my vision) will have 4 seats (so you aren't constantly falling when the drill moves) and a few turrets with a big (but...

You can use wirecutters to cut open side of cardboard ID and insert your ID in, then use sticky tape to close side of cardboard ID. With ID in cardboard one, it will have same access as normal ID.
I think it will be good for cardboard IDs and it will make them used way more than now

is there anything wrong with the administrative side of the game/community that you take issue with? what would you do to bring it more in line with what you want?

how much individual responsibility do you think an admin should be allowed in how they conduct themselves in their role? how strict of an adherence to your ideals would you expect from the admin team if you were in power?

what would you do with admins who disagree strongly with you and don't want to follow your instruction because they think...

HRF, welding gasmask, RCD & RPD, magboots, forcefield projector... and a very sheety machine , all on the same tech node, which is uncommonly selected these days.

Besides turning camera obscura pictures into hauntium(doesn't store it safely, like the autolathe), it is only used for making silly little meat blocks.
It is a harmless gimmick machine. It's even available from the service lathe.

I think putting it on a more accessible node, like BioTech would be reasonable.

Disgusting.

hey, the monkestation admins suck at their jobs and Id rather not play on that server anymore, got any good classic servers?

anyone that played old TGMC knows that there were something like corupted xenos aka greenos and in the future they were removed but i want to bring them back but i want to balanced them first beside brinig the old machanick when xeno had to spawn thier eggs and planting them when the marines would just yoint them but i got a better idea beside researchers waiting for the egg to come to them when the egg can wait for the researcher what i mean is xenos will still have the todays egg planting mechanick but...

I think it'd be cool to create sprites of native fauna from planets like Tizira, Sprout and the Mothpeople's homeworld. From a lore perspective, NT would benefit from studying alien fauna and doing science experiments on them. Though for the gameplay, and for the sake of convenience, they could just be simple mobs like the pets that populate the station.

I have an idea for a month long event. Every Friday/Saturday night (or whatever timeframe has peak playerbase) the station would be put on Build a shuttle mode. The Build Your Own Shuttle would be automatically docked at the start of the round, shuttle calling/docking would work as normal, but after the round ends the shuttle with all its objects and non-player entities would be saved as a template. And once peak time is finished, this would end, the server would switch to Get a shuttle mode and all the...

A entire round of basketball but everyone has no legs and must use wheelchair, also turn of shoving your allowed to make people get out the their chair but no shoving.

This would make basketball really fun, because who doesnt like being bound by a wheelchair?

i think melee marine is one of the more interesting fun playstyles, i've especially taken a liking to robot heavy armor tyr shield machete and just tanking insane amounts of damage while dishing out consistent damage with the blade - but has anybody else found success being tanky with some other sort of playstyle? the shield really limits your options because onehanded but i'm curious specifically if anybody's found a good way to use a gun mainly while still being heavy tyr and shield it really seems like...

Being the enlightened individual i am, i have a box of SS13 memorized tricks at all times from years of experience, and also a severe distain for the current pace of station-side activities, taking myself down to the ashwalker camp whenever i recieve the opportunity to indulge myself in a ghost role. Recently it was changed in favor of swapping the lanterns out and i found it first quite jarring and then with some rationalization realised that basically nobody but older players would understand how to make...

Space Station 13 is a paradoxically broad term. While it encompasses so many different ideas and experiences, they exist divided amongst codebases and roleplay levels and expectations held by each and every player. Some people don't want clowns in their game. Some people think stationside gameplay is lame. Between forks and downstreams of primordial code, the game has been molded into an immersive roleplay simulation for some, and an asymmetric team deathmatch for others. People enjoy this game in many...

It’s a funny idea bros

After ten thousand years most of two headmin terms, the RP rule rewrite (started by Timber, finished by myself and then edited by the collective power of the combined admin team) is finally done, and we'll be moving to change over the RP rules to it effective basically immediately. The full text of the rewrite will be going up here and on the wiki, hopefully the new rules serve us well.

1. The roleplay servers have a higher expectation of roleplay.

The purpose of the roleplay servers is to provide a...

I'm sick of looking at the same old wood flooring. So come break my wallet to make my projects more fun.

Requirements:

Preferably you do the code for this as well.
I would like each of the already existing wood floor tiles to have a gags subtype that can be accessed by only mappers.

Edit: Adding in gags wood trim as well

Price negotiable

And thats it. : )

Psykers freaking suuuuck.

Right now, at least.
Burden sect chaplain is cool, becoming a psyker is cool, all the fluff stuff is nice.
The gameplay, though, (both pre and post psyker) is awful.
To run through a usual round (with the end goal of becoming a psyker): go to genetics, ask them to find and keep negative (red name instead of orange or green(?)) mutations (or do genetics yourself, bleugh); go to medical, ask them to cut out your tongue, eyes, legs, and an arm (the tongue and eyes are all that...

I am a viro player but I feel as if our current system is well lacking to say the least. Therefor I have come up with a solution, presenting Rex's viro rework:
Featuring all new systems, including but not limited to: Combo thresholds, carriers and amputation!

However, I do need some feedback mostly on the crew side mechanics as I have been in the highest spire of the INTERNAL DISCUSSIONS tower of viro for too long to understand the mere peons perspective. On a more serious note I hope this at least sparks some...

This is not a scheduled event, I might need to revise it more to make sure it’s more interesting. Also the event seems near impossible unless I experiment with some things first.

The year is 2563.
Happy new year. The station has just survived another year drifting out in space. While the station is researching wonders of technology and research, Central Command is still living the dream of yesterday. Despite rumors of advanced technology being held at Central Command, this is far from the truth. CC...

Right now the current meta of ops is just finding the general location of the ship, chucking a metal foam grenade that spawns round start at it, and then having an easy time breaking in and stealing the ship from there. The meta is so effective that the only real counter to it is having ops choose between having fun or having someone stay behind to guard the ship. Although this makes sense from a roleplay perspective, it's not really good from a gameplay perspective. The ship used to be invincible to...

most heads of staff get the traitor items their underlings get, the CE does not. they should be given the engies traitor turret.

also we should port paradise stations atmos tech jumpsuit that only traitors can buy, it lets them ventcrawl. fitting for their job

Instead of away missions, we could have a day missions. Here's how it would work.
The day mission shuttle would be docked at the station for the first 5 minutes of the shift, anyone who wants to come aboard can. It then flies to the away mission location, that trip takes 1 minute. It then spends 20-25 minutes at the far away location. There's a 3 minute warning before they depart, and then it takes 1 minute for the shuttle to arrive back at the station. Shuttle departs when the last living player leaves...

The MOD Atrocinator Module.
Incredibly based reference, thank you TG coders. Even if I'm not the biggest fan of MODsuits compared to the Hardsuits of Olde, the random (occasionally referential) modules you can only find in maint are a cool detail and I love it.

Edit: Bounty claimed.

Kudzu's git page:

I would like to offer a code bounty of $50(negotiable) for the creation of a 'timid' mutation for kudzu. I'm reachable via this topic, PM, or discord at Zee Tee#5010.

Normally, kudzu will randomly buckle mobs as well as cover up computers/machines/tables/mobs/random items on the ground. This can be really annoying and prevents the creation of truly beneficial kudzu. The 'timid' mutation I have in mind is one that would prevent the qualities described...

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 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...

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.
