Re: Economy System Feedback Thread

Autolathe: free for cargo and service jobs. Cargo because it's in cargo and Service because some maps have public autolathes and it can print a lot of civilian stuff (spare glasses for the barman, toners for the curator, materials for redecoration etc.). Don't worry, assistants aren't service they'...

Re: Little things you learned that are game changing

AIs can click on wall-mounted flashes to manually activate them. This, combined with AI core shutters, is an excellent counterplay to a syndi/rogue cyborg rush, and can stall them for long enough for somebody to assist you if you can keep it chained On a similar note, Malf AIs can directly control ...

Re: Economy System Feedback Thread

Well, it did get tons of upboats on github ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But I agree. The system, as is, doesn't grant any real advantages to survival. The only reason to want money is if everyone else wants money, and we're not high enough RP for that to be the case.

Re: Economy System Feedback Thread

Honestly, my experience is that most people have stopped even bothing with it. An economy model only really works when eveyone puts value in the money medium. But after a few days of memes, it seems everyone has gone back to just doing shit because it's their job (y'know, like how actual companies w...

Yes. It's the map of two-tile hallways and claustrophobia.

Re: Playing as janitor isn't fun

Janitor has some good utility in being a great new player role. You spawn in your little cubby room that basically no one ever breaks into, and you have all the time in the world to learn your inventory (and hands) system. Once you're good to go, you have a basic task to work towards that also isn't...

Re: Overthrow Gamemode Feedback

Yeah, my first round in this mode was as AI. After being yanked back and forth between two teams, I ended up just being purged and reset to asimov. But I still had the traitor symbol, and I was still a traitor. So I had objectives to kill/exile humans, but no means to do so. My borgs wern't traitors...

Re: What brought you to tgstation

Years ago, when that Town of Salem thing was a flavor of the month on /v/, people kept showing up and saying how much better SS13 was at the concept. I didn't really give it a look at the time, as I didn't feel like learning a whole new game, but I had it on the back-burner of sorts. I kept seeing c...

Re: [Nabski] Shark-sie temporary ban

Oh hey, I was one of the borgs that got blown. Not that it mattered at that exact moment, as I was being flashed and smashed by a bunch of revs in medbay, but my last action was attempting to get the HoS cloned. Had I not been currently disabled, your action would have possibly prevented that. A goo...
