I thought with my heatwave cooked brains reading the shortened title this thread was about Jesus the Messiah as a antagonist, riding in (surfing specifically) on a cross shaped travelling space rod to smite the nay-sayers in the coming of days until biblically correct angels arrive and send everyone...

FantasticFwoosh

Asking players to focus on that instead of the actual fun conflict-driven part of the game would be like asking someone to play the first level of Angry Birds over and over for an hour every shift. The novelty WILL wear off. Complexity does not solve this issue; it only makes the game harder for ne...

Atmos is very least functional if self-aggrandizing with titles like "Elder Atmosian" for a role that does 10 minutes of preparation work on a game with a tilescale of 30 mins to simply play itself whilst there are such players that stand around verhemently refuting to acknowledge basic ga...

FantasticFwoosh

All right. What other gameplay loops or systems do you want it compared to for discussion's sake? Atmospherics, sharing more commonality than most things recently with self-autonomous plumbing and "circumstantial mixing" to procure gases or reagents very few people care about or utilize e...

FantasticFwoosh

If you want depth, then choices need to be there. And not choices like "fail the reaction" versus "don't fail the reaction". I think about how Botany functions when I think of depth. I can act on a tangential way and simply provide food for the chef, or I can say "Oh, my pl...

If you're proposing we make it even more complex I'm all for it. Moreso that a truthful representation of PH buffers requires more effort than is presently pushed through it with applied research that took me no less than 3 minutes being used for my post. Running juice or chemicals through a atomic...

FantasticFwoosh

it's wierd as hell because it seems like the intended game design is to use acid buffers and basics and shit (why?) but it's actually pointless because you can just put sodium or something in the beaker while your mixing it and it's faster and more effective acid and basic buffers are still used so...

FantasticFwoosh

looks easy Can you commit yourself to video playing experi-science without a admin-console advantage to show us how it's done then to faciliate proof? Perhaps prove that coders are much (maybe too) more intelligent and good at the game than people percieve them to be? As maintainer & especially...

FantasticFwoosh

No thank you, its pandering.

Also will especially scalp off tails to prevent any sort of message getting across subliminally.

FantasticFwoosh

God it sucks really bad. Didn't they already simplify the game enough? Who are we even marketing the game to anymore? All the species features are either poorly designed or poorly implemented. And oh, we better gut all mentions of species of humanoids being "evil" wouldn't want people to ...

FantasticFwoosh

A lust for violence is not easily satiated, you can for instance monkeyize people to murderbone profitable. There will always be exploits, so you have to be somewhat modest with the implementation. ~snip~ Only concern is that it's kind of useless and players wouldn't really care. This too, why are y...

I just realized more toxins gating has been added rather recently Goodbye to advanced tools and Anomaly Armor. You had recieved a nerf prior anyways. Ill miss you. nobody wants to do toxins and when they try the effort just isnt rewarded but is instead stomped out. It reminds me of how if you go in...

FantasticFwoosh

No thanks, id rather not be horizontal to collect 5 of a kind shiny pokeomon cards.

FantasticFwoosh

Because you people are too busy thinking about bashing people and validhunting, id say instead simply having the heads of staff's names etched into the links as a visual metaphor if people need a reminder.

FantasticFwoosh

Ill be that guy, nonhumans don't deserve specialist supplies of this category unless its outrightly demeaning, as all crewmembers are equally worthless to the company.

The bloodpack shipments already supply L+ as a matter of practicality.

FantasticFwoosh

I tried researching what this was about remotely over github, and was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of atmos main PR's and ignored comments how gating is choking the game, while my own experience of toxins gating is that nobody uses it or likes it downstream so i literally had no firsthand idea it...

FantasticFwoosh

Kidnap members of the crew you've creepily combed their medical files for data to suppliment a eug(genetics) programme, and produce super-officer serums.

Dumpster the whole of genetics present and push Cyto-cloning and you might get somewhere with a bioscience-division.

FantasticFwoosh

would be unfortunately unplayable if gunner was the only one allowed to use weapons, because relying on another ghost role to make the whole thing doable in the first place would make encountering a dwarf extremely rare. Resonators are perfectly fine, to not be needlessly cruel to dwarven self-pres...

FantasticFwoosh

Seemed positively recieved over discord (enclosed), the Station Rig as a tribute to Deep Rock Galactic would be a sub-orbital mining base operated by dwarves. They technically work for Centcomm, but mine minerals to earn the mining points wages for their own self sufficiency. https://puu.sh/J2aMK/fb...

my brother in christ it's just a name Alright, to step down from my point to change tact & ask a question to you directly; Is lingua-franca in a primarily english reading and speaking server, nessecary for patented chemical mixes and not generic drugs of mixtured ingredients? (ghetto floorpill ...

FantasticFwoosh

I like the lack of foresight in the ruin design sometimes, because the walls are more valuable for decommission than the actual content itself, reliable source of crashed bananium or syndicate plastinium off fighter jets/looted carriers, alien alloy from ayylmao crashes, pure diamond or cult wall ma...

FantasticFwoosh

I actually still think its fine, if you've seen it for the first time you get trolled, and if you seen it a 100 times, you get free slowing floortiles + a botany harvestable in a otherwise very desolate place. It its own reward in a way.

FantasticFwoosh

I've been angry about this topic since cobbychem put a oar in changing trek-chems, most other tg derived servers usually find a gripe with fermi which doubled it down using its mechanics + bloat (claiming PH input ruins every mix or chem attempt they do anyway, merch soft turned off the mechanic to ...

The day the community forgot to shower, they started adding in stinky things. Old radiation = cured by showering Blood splatter virus infectivity/looking sus = cured by showering Coincidence? Though other games just call this accumulative buildup "Grime" thinking of dwarf fortress as more ...

FantasticFwoosh

Is this to continue the theme of MRP? Medical already has too much of this kind of content with cobby-fermi chem. Much the same way trek-chems used to deal with healing as directly as nutriment does for food, suddenly having metabolic rates would mean you have to pop a flinstones vitamin gummy or yo...

FantasticFwoosh

Also the silver slime ~context snip~ changes make perfect sense. I can't really wade very much into it on my lack of git/server access, but it was perfectly fine for years if maybe filler content opposed to making it some sort of 'breakfast/cake' themed slime, but a viewpoint I take is hamfisted ad...

Should have like, a drill chute that sends to you to the lowest level of the station, and bores through the rock.

Sounds like a fine idea for a away ruin special-plant, if eating from the tree of knowledge somehow discarded your ghostrole status and forces you to leave lavaland indefintely. Head full of recipies but no opposable thumb to craft them with.

FantasticFwoosh

Special fish have very specific diets, you have to hand-feed the Fugu some carrots before they're ready to harvest to get their growth up to a optimal size.

FantasticFwoosh

Back in my day you had to shoot the doors off using the Sniper-Rifle ammunition.

FantasticFwoosh

Come on, there's literally a hottest new meme is a yellow fish that sings about public urination called a "Fugu" going around in a bowl, you know you want to do it, for the unused mob organs if nothing else. You know its good. Honestly fish catering, slime catering, couldn't it all be the ...

Pretty much the scope of what I think of /tg/ MRP, the actual MRP i like is hosted in private whitelisted communities.

FantasticFwoosh

I don't know why people add things that suck to do and don't even have a reward that makes them worth doing Because coders flex. The inner circle of influential/head coders virtually don't exercise any sort of public coding discipline to weed out bad practice like robotic graphic-sheet talking, lac...

Ill be honest, making funny floyd fentynl as a inverse is kind of outweighed in all my interactions with fermi-chem to casually interacting with it without literally opening the chemistry page constantly on the sidebar (the chemistry kit was also a letdown, ill mention it but not contribute it direc...

Department subnets - What we have now: The station is one universal power grid. - What would change: Engineers hit a breaker, lever, clip wires, whatever, to disconnect the department from the main grid. The grid now feeds a local power station/SMES instead, giving it a layer of protection against ...

emag for some rarer species, this isn't a bad idea. I back it. Are they kept full of formaldhyde or are the bodies preserved with a refridgeration kind of effect of the case they're delivered in?

~snip~ ~snip~ It was about the spelling of words and grammar in the codebase. Are you seriously going to use this as your claim that the codebase is a ironclad oligarchy suppressing it's players?
