Re: ITT: We post exploitable character weaknesses

If I'm doing xenobio and you ask me for any slime or crossbreed I will make it for you unless I'm dead or you were a dick to me that round.

Also I'm super paranoid of getting jumped while doing xeno so I always try to have an oil slime so I can suicide bomb whoever's breaking down my door.

Re: Departmental Gameplay Improvements

Maybe xenobio's isolation is the problem? If we look at other jobs that give stuff out to the crew (Like chemist, bartender, botany and cook), they're all adjacent to the hall so people can walk up to a desk, peak in and ask for stuff directly. If you want stuff from xeno you need to message the guy...

Right now if you get a deep-rooted trauma the only way to 'properly' remove it is to get a lobotomy, which not only requires advanced surgery, but also quite often gives another permanent trauma which may or may not be worse that the one you just got rid of. At this point your only option is to just...
