Lurked on /tg/ for a few years. Somebody mentioned SS13 in a sci-fi horror thread. Looked up the tgstation wiki and was amazed at all the features of this crazy game. Many wasted hours spread over a few months and here I am.

You should add a section on formatting. There are too many paragraph-long walls of text in the library. Even a simple centred, bolded title at the top of a smalltext book goes a long way.

The confession booth needs an intercom. I tried to run confessional as a clown priest yesterday and I had to disassemble the window to converse with the fellow on the other side.

Of course. Because if you right clicked it you freeze into a block of space ice.
We need more ice cream flavors in the game btw

Farquaar

As long as we don't lose any recipes, I'd welcome an alternative to the crafting menu. It would be nice to have an incentive to not having all my ingredients in one huge game-crashing-upon-right-click pile.

If you drag a cable or shine a laser pointer on the ground, catpeople should be forced to chase after it

Honestly, I prefer the mess hall to be relatively empty. It allows the chef and bartender to customize it to their liking. I usually end up just deconstructing furniture in maps with prebuilt diners like pubby and omega so I can make a setup that I actually like.

It might be prudent to give hostile visitor ships a unified cover story that matches a benign objective. A small number of visitors could easily make something up and stick to it, but it might aid people new to the gamemode who don't know all the potential objectives in blending in properly. I have ...

I don't get why the chef has CQC either. Isn't crushing a gatecrasher with the shutters, stabbing them once or twice, and then throwing them back in the hall enough? Unfortunately it's not always possible. If you're doing work in the side of the kitchen opposite to the front counter, you likely won...

As someone who plays both botany and chef quite often, I have this to say: I seldom ever see the chef messing with me as a botanist. I seldom ever see botanists messing with me as a chef. The fact that anyone sees the shutters as a tool to protect one department from a knife or hatchet wielding atta...

IIRC slimeperson meat cutlets look pretty off. Sugar, cocoa, jelly and vanilla bottles (from condimaster) could use custom sprites. Maybe even a custom bag sprite, for when condimasters get the ability to make bags. Pumpkin and blumpkin pies look pretty different compared to other pie types. Not to ...

Sadly, game doesn't start for me Tried all the common workarounds including running as admin, no steam overlay, making sure I have some specific windows updates, grabbing .dll files, and chanting to the machine spirits. Looked fun though The game didn't work for me until I updated my graphics drive...

Make them able to eat cloth for nutriment, no ERP possible since I don't think you can turn jumpsuits back into cloth. Make them headbutt lights repeatedly if they stay near them too much, only mild burn damage and no breaking them (if moods are on, they get a boost from this). Make their wings flu...

It's almost as if the current library system is in desperate need of an update that allows people easily browse the literature to find what they need.

Shoulda made it an SR knockoff. I mean, when you think about it, Nuke OPs are kind of like 'runners. You're shooting at the clown as he climbs over a counter to flee, obscured by a pile of plates, metal rods and broken bottles (partial cover). You're using laser-sighted Nanotrasen Achilles Mk-II He...

One of my first traitor rounds, playing with mechanics. I emagged the holodeck console to explore the new options, set it to the middle ages one. I hang around the holodeck playing with the toys, but not doing anything traitory. Suddenly, a gasmasked greyshirt appears and attacks me without saying a...

The medical records system is completely underutilized at the moment. There really needs to be a reason to utilize it. Another m...

I don't see a reason for power exports to be a thing. It's not like power needs any more uses as-is. It's quite effective at what it does. I'd definitely like engineering to have something to do with their extra power though. Maybe give them some fancy sci-fi replicators so they can make their own m...

If I could offer my two cents as a /tg/station newbie, reading this thread doesn't really give me any idea as to why goof was banned. I think this whole thing could be cleared up pretty easily if an explanation with cogent reasoning and examples of rule violation was provided.

With regards to the quality of community-generated content, my two cents is a mere rating system on the books (and if any of the above makes it into the game the other media as well). A one to five star system would fit the book theme and (speaking out of my ass as someone who knows nothing about S...

It doesn't help that it's an open invitation for kitchen invaders if there isn't slop smeared over the front counter at any given moment. Yeah seriously fuck when this happens.

Speaking of hulk modifications, I think that dwarf and hulk should be mutually exclusive. Anything to curb the tide of munchkin geneticists who shatter every window in the station in their quest to ruin the janitor's day.

Me (Chef): Hey botany, can I get some wheat? Botanist: Wait until we get gaia.

Those new screenshots are looking good. I'm looking forward to what's coming up next.

As for name suggestions, I'll throw a few out there in case one of them sticks.

If you love something, you fight to make it better. Slime 918 loved Nanotrasen. He only wanted to make the station a better place. In the court of Space Law, he fought against a bigoted brutish officer who demeaned his kind, slew his kin, and violently dismembered him. With the help of the lawyer, J...

Suggestions for the kitchen: - Front room has a microwave, sink and a grinder. A fridge containing some rice and flour, maybe a small quantity of eggs and milk cartons. A snack cart could be handy, but not essential. - Standard utensils should be present. Unless of course you only want to see donkpo...

Something I've observed while playing curator on MetaStation a few times: There appears to a problem with the power in the library. Now I'm no engineer, so I can't tell you exactly why this happens. Around 10 minutes into the round, the library will run out of power. It typically starts with the com...

My brief thoughts after playing several rounds as chef on Omega: 1. The kitchen is too far from botany, preventing adequate supply. This is the most important issue. Most maps (Box, Meta, Pubby, Delta) have a smartfridge that allows for easy transfer of plants from botany (plant bag empties into fri...
