Buffs to two different devices could be useful here: RCD: Allow it to build wired, anchored machine frames. RPED and BSRPED: Allow them to store cable coils and glass, or bring back console screens (but allow them to be made from the protolathe as well as autolathe). Allow them to also finish constr...

Please replace the bluespace crystals in Oldstation with diamond sheets. I spend a good 45 minutes powering up the station and clearing all the hivebots only to find that there was no diamond on the map, at all. Since BS crystals can be printed with plasma and diamond, I suggest giving players a few...

I think a part of my brain died while reading that heresy from Yog.

I love it when the comments give you proper warning, too!

Selea, any ETA on letting bots use surgery tools, or was that idea scrapped?

Projectile explosions are weird, sometimes they explode on the victim's tile, Often the tile next to them, and sometimes they just fuck you This is entirely intended! AoE projectile spells, such a fireball, will target adjacent mobs. It was initially a holdover from the dumbfire version which also ...

You were a victim of RNG. Explosions (Light and heavy) have a chance of knocking the victim unconscious. His roll turned out luckier than yours!

The Diagnostic HUD should show the integrity of the SM crystal, as it does for ghosts!

The monk's weakness is ranged attacks. This includes thrown items. Also, while a fully leveled monk will still go down under the might of the stun baton, he will not be damaged by it. If you want to win against a monk, throw tiles at him!

Consider making the attack messages collapse together when a monk attacks me, such that my chatbox is not flooded with spam when I am machine-punched by one. It is an absolute torrent of red text when I am fighting one.

Next idea:
Make cell chargers buildable. The recent nerf to cells causing them to start empty makes things REALLY annoying as a Free Golem or Scientist. Being able to build cell chargers would at least make that nerf tolerable.

Change the AI slipper foam that hacked/emagged cleanbots use to actual cleaner foam. Reagent code has improved greatly since I first coded the foam function for cleanbots. The difference is that the foam will still slip people in an AoE, just that it actually makes sense.

Well dang, forgive my lack of reading...I...get distracted easily by images...

Anyway, I like the tanky, slow moving concept. You would be right to fear them, but you could easily escape them if needed.

What kind of properties would crab people have, and how would you become one? It would be interesting if it were something earned, rather than roundstart!

There is a sufficiently sized area that is currently filled with asteroid rock in the circuit lab, which is also south of Robotics. There is not much reason for that to exist, given the many other good spits for testing DIY mining drones. You could easily replace that location with a small, turreted...

Is there no AI chamber or AI spawn? It seems weird to have a cyborg staff for engineering and mining, yet no AI to control them...

Any chance for something that can use or contain surgery tools? I dream of an AutoDoc...

Consider disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome.

This is a stupid question..but how does an Engineering cyborg install APC/Fire Alarm/Air Alarms on its own?

Summon Magic + Summon Guns + Summon Events. EVERYONE gets to participate, like it or not!!!! Throw in a laughter (NOT slaughter) demon for more lulz.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Absolute%20Territory After watching Outbreak Company, I cannot help but giggle at the name. The AT shield does sound similar to an idea I once had. What if you made it large, like the Peacekeeper's field? As for the Legion Fist, I would be interested i...

This NEEDS to have a unique suicide message! Perhaps the user can foam from the mouth or something.

As for the combat/accidental clicking issue, make it such that the interface only appears on examination, and clicking it directly shows the written message. If you are bothered by the number of messages on a map, use the solution provided in-game: Pester the janitor for his soapstone.

Miners get something similar as loot, do they not?

I do not feel that re-balancing all our content to achieve the goal of longer rounds is really worth pursuing.

https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/34287 was merged, but it sadly did not include a (delayed) death message to the AI. Thoughts?

Do you mean to also provide these messages as an alert to the borg's master AI, or are they local only? I disagree with giving borgs any kind of ability while dead. The borg is in a completely broken and dysfunctional state, save the MMI and tracking transmitter. The act of sending death warnings to...

You can cuff xenos. yes. To add on that, they have a fixed 5 second uncuff time regardless of cuffs, so fake cuffs are just as good for that purpose You can get around that by buckling them to something, like a chair or a bed and then they have to resist the full minute like a normal person Actuall...

"Decontamination" exosuit design. A mech for the janitor! Why not? A quick, purple, stompy monstrosity loaded with the latest in cleaning tools! Its feet are also scrubbers! No mess can stand up to your MIGHTY STOMP! Equipment options could include: - A water/cleaning foam/drying agent spr...

Not that I think about it, what departments dont normally interact with each other? Last I heard, all of them. Before the techwebs + departmental lathe double whammy nerf, Botany was one of many ways to advance research levels, and botanists would sometimes request a chem dispenser, the plant gun, ...

How difficult (or overpowered) would it be to have a component that can use items on things? I am keen on finally making the AutoDoc idea a reality. I can already make a bot that grabs stuff, then throws that stuff at other stuff, but not one that can *use* stuff on other stuff.

Google tried to be our hero. Google wanted to install fiber to our cities. It was legally middle-fingered by the existing ISPs (and some utility companies). One Touch Make Ready is the law that Google could have used to install fiber on poles without having to wait months for other companies to move...

Make it free. Make sure that the drill works on any airlock or safe type, if you want to give it a price. The drill could be the counter for bolted airlocks or mechanical safes, which the emag cannot open.

1. Shades.
2. Cultist. (Do you want to play as a cultist?)

There will be more once I get annoyed by something.

Do these roles not have a "Never for this round" button?

Traitor AIs that have hacked the APC gain the option to lock'n'shock!

I welcome new and interesting Science content (I do always!) following the double-whammy hits it took recently. Nothing like having That One Round where I 'accidentally' teleport Ashwalkers into the lab!

Two new circuit components: pAI control module - Insert a pAI into your circuit to allow it to interface with your assembly! - The data input pin accepts any text string, as displayed to the pAI on pulse of the corresponding pulse pin. - The data output pins are: * Ref to the pAI itself. * The direc...

Let's say you're a cyborg and you were formally linked to a traitor AI. Your law 0 specifies to accomplish your AI's goals at all costs. Now, I'm going to present two similar but distinct scenarios: Scenario A: Prior to being disconnected from the traitor AI, your law sync was severed and never men...

my main problems with it are this 1. No real guidance or documentation 2. things researched don't appear in the research proto for creation for some reason? it was only a few items too, other stuff appeared fine 3. no real organization to the entire system, everything was a mess and it was hard sif...

Tower defense, Not-Cat-Slime! Require that there be a clear path, while making clockwork walls much tougher against all forms of aggression (but not invulnerable to anything, including mechs or hulks). Thinks like the spike trap, smokescreen and the wardens are a good start. You can then herd the cr...

Your Aux Base had no walls, so it would have been funny to see someone drop it down to Lavaland! Speaking of Lavaland, you can knock out a corner wall and stick a scrubber there to let you suck in the outside air, essentially creating an air compressor inside the base. It is great for expansions.

I get blank windows of many things not TGUI, including the lobby popup and the time limited ghost role popups...

There is little incentive to do R&D beyond upgrade parts, mechs, cyborgs, power cells. and equipment for the miners. The Techweb system compounds this by making research progress time based and unlocked one-at-a-time, instead of parallel in the current system. I do not expect a large number of p...

Add an AI interface component for circuits! The AI has a "Botcall" (My name for it) interface that it uses to direct securitron/clean/floor/medical bots around and change the settings. The AI interface could add the assembly to the Botcall interface. The inputs for the component could be t...

Let us transfer pAIs to positronic brains! The gameplay reasoning here is that both are on-demand, silicon ghost roles. Players should not have to pAI suicide if positronic brains become available. It would be one way, of course.

I would like to point out that we already have modular PDAs, they are the tablets! You need only add the rest of the PDA's features to the tablets. As for pAI being installed on PDAs/tablets, I agree with this. You can slot them into bots to give them control, but this is not true for the PDA! If we...
