Can admins mess with player settings? If so instead of banning them when you see someone suicide as a wizard just turn their wizard preference off without telling them. This is a terrible idea. Changing someone's settings without telling them is inherently confusing and unexpected and basically a c...

Could be good if it were far along in techwebs maybe, or available to mappers. I've definitely wanted it for shuttle bay doors.

headset: currently 24 possible frequencies as well as easy scrollthrough, best you can do is disable scrollthrough and use the full range for 199 possible frequencies pen: 360 possible rotations; add one more digit to get 3600, should be good enough?

Ignore anything non-maintainers say about downstreams, the codebase benefits massively by making it easy (enough) for downstreams to stay up to date and to contribute back. Catpeople are a config option and can be trivially disabled by hosts/headmins of /tg/ or any downstream, just like all other sp...

Code-side word filters are a terrible idea even without considering the fact that what is ok/what isn't is largely contextual and changes over time, sometimes rapidly.

1. Fix bugs (most effective, hardest to get people to do because it's boring) 2. Stop creating bugs (tooling, testing, do big features/refactors in smaller chunks instead of all at once) 3. Close reports which cannot be reproduced / are duplicates (just "old" doesn't count) I'm not actuall...

Picking this up, if anyone has shuttle maps they want me to use for testing please post or forum PM.

Once made this very good game.

If/when you run this, please report back. I like this idea and might take a stab at coding it if it looks like it will go over well with players.

I spent the day marathon-coding an initial version of as-you-type autocomplete. There's some obvious room for improvement but it came out surprisingly well! Restart VS Code or reload the window to get the update.

I think it is too easy to print AI upload console boards.

If you're purged you're purged, if your memories still say you have objectives you still have objectives. How hard you pursue them is as always up to your discretion. Seems simple to me.

The whole reason the SME is exciting is that you might have to do damage control to avoid being blown up, and then might fail. Losing is part of the game. Bwoink fear preventing experimentation would be really unfortunate. Without commenting on the specific ban (tl;dr), some advice to players who wa...

The trick is to use the rapid cable layer and then don't care if you make a mistake. All maps stock enough cable sitting right on the solars to set them up.

"Probability" is a misnomer here anyways; what the researchers are asking about is confidence . I think that's where a lot of the confusion stems from. In the Monty Hall problem, there are three possible outcomes of the random event, which are equally weighted. The prize is behind A, B, or...

Tickets and pull requests, lots of knowledge there. Project board maybe less so.
Wiki is a second git which most people won't have cloned.

To peanutpost, keep backups, no reason to migrate yet. AKA MSO has the right idea.

Sorry, I didn't mean it to reflect on Stickymayhem. I wanted to look into it from a code perspective, see if the bug could be identified and fixed, and if not, the logging improved.

Apparently nuking the station on extended is an event now. It was a bug or a typo or something. The timer doesn't trigger. I typed in 600 seconds and it went off instantly.

It would be kind of neat to have a mining level habitable to plasmamen.

If by some coincidence this is the furthest APC from the SMES, it may be lowest priority and thus suffering if the powernet is low and the other APCs are still charging. Cargo used to have a similar problem.

My advice: Don't check any .dmm files in DreamMaker. Don't check any mapname.dm file either. Leave _basemap.dm checked, as it is by default. Copy your new map's JSON file to data/next_map.json. If you want it to show in Change Map, you will have to edit config/maps.txt.

Giving the entire station T4 is basically trivial and can be done very quickly if 1) mining brings in at least one diamond, at least one bluespace crystal, and at least 5 of each other mineral, 2) someone else isn't preventing you from saving up the research point costs of the relevant techs.

By the way if you do upgrade the cell charger it takes less than a minute to charge a bluespace cell.

I understand it to fall out of a desire to make power actually mean something, rather than (as is oft repeated) a binary between zero power and unlimited power. When you print a cell, where is the energy coming from to fill it? Draining the APC would make any cell larger than the one you already hav...
