Re: CLONING REMOVAL FEEDBACK

And with cloning there, it is. And the game is balanced around that in LRP servers, hence why it feels bad. It... really isn't. There's this illusion the game is in any way finely balanced. The truth is if you put in a feature it will go through almost 100% of the time. Podcloning wasn't an indepth...

snop Very simple. The steps to fix this are there. The limb grower, the surgery room, the relative speed with which you can chem and surgery people back up if you're a decent MD - I'd say a full revival takes a minute half if you have everything prepared, from organless head detached lad to full re...

Well, I hope it does get raised... but even then, Manuel was consistently full even when the popcap was at 90... I think another server would be wise still
I'd rather it reaches a full pop (as in fully raised) with those enforced and set RP standards proper before we start splitting it apart.
