Right, and if you just want to quibble with oranges/maintainers about merge policy, this isn't the right forum for this discussion anymore.

As to the topic this thread is supposed to be about, there doesn't seem to be a lot of appetite for an enforced "top down" change of power (ie MSO/headmins threaten to fork unless changes are made). Not that it's impossible or anything. For all I know someone will run as headmin with a pla...

Sounds like a Good First PR tm.

Anyone whose played longer than me has played too long and anyone newer than me hasn't played enough.

I'd bet money that most players who grief aren't "bored veterans", they're just assholes. They were gonna grief anyways, no matter how much content there was. 90/10 rule bro, 90% of problems are caused by 10% of people. Trust me, I know griefers, I've griefed, I know how griefers think. Gr...

Funny you mention digg because there's a lot of "orange man bad" posts on there.

I was gonna go on a long rant about inflation/deflation, but there's the summary. Too much money is bad. Ideally the amount coming in would be slightly more than the amount leaving. Any major imbalance should be corrected ASAP.

I know I bring up the "it would get rejected" argument for this, but that's always in another suggestion. That isn't an acceptable argument for rejecting this. Now if you don't wanna do this kind of stuff, that's fine, I'm just saying that "this suggestion would get rejected, so we're...

Is it even possible to have the typing animation come up for non-hotkey mode say typing? I don't think so. I don't personally like the idea of having such a blatant difference between the two modes, especially since it would impact your ability to rely on the bubble appearing at all.

I should probably be clear, I'm not specifically saying "lel get rid of wires", I just think Engineering's focus should be less on keeping the wiring setup fixed or starting the engine and more on figuring out how to distribute a limited power supply, imo. And hey, if wires stick around as...

There's all kinds of problems with power distribution and generation. I'mma go over a few of them off the top of my head. a) Power needs are determined by how much stuff there is. Thus larger maps take more power than smaller ones. This makes balancing power generation vs usage difficult. b) Changin...

This might be the rare case where a poll would actually be helpful.

That's just a general problem with the control scheme overall. One thing we could do is make intent matter even more so you don't pick things up in harm (you kick them instead?) or disarm or grab. But tbh that seems like it would just cause annoyance rather than actually improve things. And a toggle...

Because after pissing people off, those people are still here. And he still has to interact with them.

I'm sure someone will mop it up eventually

Maybe explosions need to be rewritten so they're not always light impact range == 2 * heavy impact range == 2 * devastation impact range. So one kind of explosion might be really large but low damage while another might literally be a single 1x1 tile dev but leave the surrounding tiles untouched. Th...

Is the problem the specific quirks implemented or more the general direction quirks went in? Or is the whole concept flawed?

Excuse me. This is an offensive, disgusting, outdated stereotype and I must ask you apologize. For you see, we also eat pizza, you philistine.

You should start with an outright addiction to tea.

Historically speaking, making science into a scavenger hunt has never worked, so please be very careful not to do that.

It might just be as a lavaland ruin, but they'll get reused at some point in time. You can set your watch to it.

Designing a game inspired by something (top-down design) is certainly possible. It's also a lot of work, and if there's one thing I've learned around here, it's that nobody likes to finish anyth

Nobody ever leaves forever, no matter how hard you try.

Yeah explosions do produce a lot of debris. That's why I made stackable things stack when they move onto each other, actually. Maybe it would be good to make everything stackable? Obviously there'd be balance considerations and not everything should stack anyway (beakers, guns, etc), but it would st...

Dropping could always drop exactly where the mouse is if it's within one square of you, similar to putting things on a table. Anyone stupid enough to actually click the drop button is SOL but I don't care. Throwing should obviously work this way too. The only way to solve unusable huge stacks is to ...
