/tg/Station 13

This wouldn't actually solve the underlying issue since most situations with many uploads involved someone printing an upload board. If they can make one, they can almost certainly make more.

EDIT: The cooldown idea is interesting.

For technical reasons, families doesn't work as part of dynamic. Goof is working on integrating it at some point.

Red shells when?

This thread has gone wildly off topic and serves no real purpose. If/when icebox is ready, then we can revisit this. Until then, I'm just going to lock the thread.

Really? You guys are defending my ridiculous example as not harassment? This site obviously deals with the legal definition of harassment in the US, but these two sentences sum harassment up nicely. "Harassment is unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnanc...

banning it would be work and not banning it would not be work 99% of communities on the internet police slurs just fine. It's as easy to ban for this as IC in OOC, which is to say it's trivial. And no I'm not specifically making an appeal to popularity, I'm simply saying that they do it, therefore ...

I never even understood peanut policy. Like, I've spent enough time in the hut to appreciate that threads on bans often descend into chaotic shitposting, but I'm still not sure why such a rule exists in the first place. Like, okay, yes, you may have to do some kind of moderation and arbitration, bu...

The total TC limit feels pointless and entirely arbitrary. Whether or not an item is in the uplink should be because its fun/useful, not because adding/removing it will impact the magic number. I feel it would be better to just decide case by case. We can always raise the number later if we actuall...

Stop worrying about irrelevant stupid shit and focus on the real question at hand:

What about the SOLARS?

If I'm piloting a mech down below and it blows up, what should happen to me? Do I die or appear back on the station somewhere? If you only have one life, I would propose that onstation mechs be ridable but unusable. You can get in and out, but you can't move, turn, activate anything, or shoot weapon...

Stillplant wrote:Maybe change the way traitor uplink works from "20TC and that's it" to "10TC and 5TC every 20 minutes". Would give traitors an incentive to wait longer before acting.

Why would we want to encourage people to sit around waiting? Waiting is boring!

If people are calling the shuttle because they're bored, why would you force them to stick around and keep playing? They're bored! Give them something to do.

Shuttle call restrictions are stupid and should never become a thing.

Fighting mobs is mining's schtick. Don't think it's a good idea to double up on that gimmick. I've been mulling over an idea to basically make genetics into TES alchemy with the "ingredients" being fragments you scan from people. This would at least put some degree of decision making into ...

New version's out, enjoy your bugs.

If something radioactive is in a locker, presumably it will radiate the locker eventually, so that's not a pressing issue.

One: If someone does do this, you know what to do to the mime.

Two: It might be better to do this with a new enemy that attacks the station. Like a space unicorn or something.

EDIT: Or maybe a mutantrace?

Always wanted to see them back in some form. Thought it was retarded to remove them rather than fix the problems the coders of the day had with them. But I never minded having to stand a tile away from anyone wearing gloves that weren't insulated. Having to stand a tile away from people like that w...

Ok, that clears things up quite a bit. I was actually gonna suggest making it so you couldn't unlock the whole tree in a round but you already wanted to do that apparently. It's MUCH better to do it that way. Frankly I have bad memories of scavenger hunt R&D so I'm very worried that's what winds...

The way machines get upgraded right now is not good. I know it'd be a lot of work to change it, but consider the system malleable. I have a few questions. What purpose does science itself serve if the other departments both generate points and spend them to unlock stuff? Does science exclusively mak...

Could add a role item to remove clumsy.

There are no characters from 1984.
There have never been characters from 1984.

-snip- Absolute shitcode all around. Works with components directly, the formula is unintuitive and poorly written, and worst of all, the math actually makes no sense to begin with.

We should use a special entry airlock or a map-placed marker that would go over the entry airlock. There's many strategies that would work once we have that, such as building an adjacency map, using A*, or taking an angle using simple trig. From there displaying the information to the player is an o...

Powergamers get 2 free quirk points and they don't even have to give anything up?

I agree with what you're saying in theory skoglol but you're ignoring how tedious, finicky and boring large scale construction actually is (which it wouldn't be if a lot of people were working on it, but that rarely if ever happens) this is definitely true, the whole slap things together in your ha...

Most everything about clowns is haha punishment, yeah. Personally I would get rid of the slowdown.

actually make a minimum effort to roleplay that you are a computer instead of just talking like a regular person This is harder to do than you might think (at least for me), but it's really important. Gotta remember to slow down. It's not like you're in the middle of the action, you can afford to w...

The powergamer move is to turn the waddling off. Thus the best solution would be to remove the ability to turn the waddling off. What kind of self respecting clown wouldn't waddle?

There's a guy by the name of The Hungarian Coverist whose made a bunch of midis
And here's his Patreon, if you're into that sort of thing.

One thread was more than enough for this idea, thank you.

Somebody call Stickymayhem.

I agree the solars suck, but I think they have a place in the eventual "ideal" power world as an emergency supply to keep "important" things running like atmospherics and maybe weak lights or something.

Is there some improvement to radials that would make them acceptable? Like hotkeys or something?

There isn't much point to optimizing power generation if there isn't something to spend that power on. Similar problem we have with money right now.

Personally I've long been in favor of an elected position to serve as community liaison of design to the code project aka Chief Idea Guy. The position would have no actual authority but should hopefully give the community a bit of a say on what they want. Headmins kind of do that right now but they ...

Remrem seems to be doing quiet well for herself these days, which is nice to see. Im sad she's not around here but I think that was probably for the better for her own health. I kind of assumed something like that happened, and quite frankly I don't blame her one bit. You can thank the assholes aro...

The only people I miss are fellow INTERNAL DISCUSSIONS tower residents: Remie and Cheridan and hg and kor.

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 gu...

So basically it's gangs

I was kidding about the fucking hot dog stand idea! It's a shitty, unfunny suggestion, please just leave it as a meme.

So why are we having another one? the issue was never settled the first time, too close to call, the hope was that after 1 year everyone would have settled the fuck down and we could have a sensible outcome Settling this via referendum is impos...

There's a big difference between knowing that there will be issues and knowing what those issues actually are. Obviously yeah if there were any outstanding issues they would have been fixed.

24/7 de_dust just as jesus intended amen We could apply a penalty to the map previously played so it's slightly less likely. Hell make it a scaling penalty for each consecutive round on the same map if you really want to break things up. Ultimately though you're gonna have to convince people to chan...

I don't see how something being a bug vs an intended mechanic changes the math of allowing or banning that activity. Like the warden randomly killing people with a gun is obviously not abusing a bug, but it's banned anyway. Therefore if you abuse a bug to kill people, you're gonna get banned because...

The idea is to move away from chemical healing, not add even more chemicals.
