Virology Healing Nerfs
I guess I'll bring this up here as well.
This PR https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/32432 has basically completely removed most of the non-antag symptoms in virology. In short, no more passive healing.
I don't like these changes, feel free to mock me wanting viro to be useful and how I recently joined, making my opinions invalid.

Re: Virology Healing Nerfs
Is what I posted previously about the subject of nerfing viroinb4 people telling me how being able to ignore environmental hazards and almost never need to interact with another player for healing again after 5 minutes into the round is actually excellent design and passive no brainer bonuses are actually very interesting for our game about surviving disaster
Seriously please consider very carefully the design implications of solo health regen and near environmental immunity in a game about working with other (potentially hostile) players to survive a variety of threats before you leave comments about the balance of 1v1 fights with tasers.
The "viro being useful" isn't more important than the rest of the game design

Re: Virology Healing Nerfs
I said it once I'll say it again, the hysterics over the viro healing symptoms were just that, hysterics. The healing was nice for sure, but it's small fucking fry compared to all the other shit other departments get for working them. Genetics, cargo, mining, botany, science...
The passive heal that viros got is small fry compared to all that shit, to say it was "breaking game balance" is a lie.

So why can't you just change it so viro doesn't heal nearly as much? Or require nutrition hunger in order to heal?Kor wrote:Is what I posted previously about the subject of nerfing viroinb4 people telling me how being able to ignore environmental hazards and almost never need to interact with another player for healing again after 5 minutes into the round is actually excellent design and passive no brainer bonuses are actually very interesting for our game about surviving disaster

Gutting viro removes a layer of paranoia from the game. "Do I take this healing virus, knowing it could either heal me, or murder me?" to "Why should I bother taking this virus if it will not benefit me at all, or could kill me."
As for "surviving disaster", other deparments can still make a bunch of things to survive disasters. Botany can make very potent healing plants, genetics has hulks, xrays, cold resist, xenobio has all of their things, robotics has mechs.
If it's such a gamebreaker and flaw of design, why not do one of my suggestions and just cut down the healing rate, only have it work if you haven't taken damage in X seconds, or require you to eat food or something. Or make virology require some sort of minigame in order to get the better symptoms so the best things aren't unlocked at 5 minutes if the miners decide to bring up minerals early.

Re: Virology Healing Nerfs
Viro healing was probably too good, but this goes way too far. Also I've got some serious concerns about the direction of recent changes. Huge Sci nerf followed with a huge Viro nerf (but only for non-antag viro)? If you want to make all the jobs useless for non-antags there are better ways to do it. Whats next, cargo being unable to order guns/implants unless emaged?

But even without the virus healing everyone, it's not like med is a lively department even at the best of times. In some theoretical fully staffed fully functional medbay, chem will just make some patches and every injured person will just slap one on themselves and full heal harder than the virus ever could. Then not only the whole rest of the department is out of a job but the cloning half of genetics is too, since chem can ressurect people with the power of magic SCIENCE!

Re: Virology Healing Nerfs
Because we've had healing viruses for something like five years now and the solution every time has been "healing is too high, just lower the values" followed by "its not worth doing viro, raise the values" over and over and over again. Why can't we try something new?
And even if we had it at low values I don't believe zero upkeep, free, unlimited solo healing at any speed is a good default power for crewmembers to have. If we wanted the crew to have regenerating health at (near) roundstart at any speed we'd just make them spawn with it.

The pod people weaknesses to plant killer and somatoray are super deadly if you know to use them.
Also for station staff to become them they basically need to be at someone else's mercy in the tray.
Pod people make no part of any sane powergamer's strategy. It's nice to be one it's not worth dying over though.

Viro, like every other job, isn't done anywhere close to every round. And for all your wailing, the difference between healing yourself with any one of the many methods available at roundstart and healing yourself with a viro virus is actually that someone actually had to do their job at some point. All the other methods, not so much.
Also, don't even try to pretend that healing was even slightly hard in anything but the most hellish conditions.

Overpowered things are fun to have in PVP games that is true.

The difference is all the others either consume resources or require a second player and are both one time events rather than a forever passive buff. I know you know the difference, so I'm not sure what you get out of arguing like this.ShadowDimentio wrote:the difference between healing yourself with any one of the many methods available at roundstart and healing yourself with a viro virus is actually that someone actually had to do their job at some point

If anything the limitation/scarcity of healing resources creates an interesting conflict where in a state of emergency a battle for resources ensues amongst the crew which is also why the sleepers are also fucking retarded and should be torn out in favor of chemistry and roundstart healing items being the main and primary ways of healing

Re: Virology Healing Nerfs
Plant killer is pretty weak at 3 toxin, and somatorays are completely unused because of how weak they are. The only people who make them are botanists and I really doubt they're going to want to make the gun if they have the free healing race that dies to the gun.Incomptinence wrote:The pod people weaknesses to plant killer and somatoray are super deadly if you know to use them.

Ah yes the buff that doesn't appear anywhere near every round and doesn't throw them out of a job, yes THAT'S why nobody plays doctor, not because it's the most boring job on the station, no, because the viro can release a virus that heals bumps and bruises without them.ShadowDimentio wrote:There's still plenty of injuries that doctors have to attend to (delimbing, blood loss, surgery stuff, corpse recovery/cloning) that the virus can't fix.
Well now that nonantag viro got destroyed I can't wait to see a fully staffed medbay every round.

I would be for this if chemicals were slightly easier to mass produce.

Make sleepers stop bleeding and oxy damage and give chemistry large vats to mix chemicals in and we have a functional chemical to healing economy.
I like the new viro changes otherwise.

Tried viro, found the virus that heals brute when you heat up, and mixed it with Fevers at a high stage to make it heat you up even more.
Injected a monkey with it, stage 5, beat him to half health, maybe 1 brute every 6 minutes.
Went into maint, grabbed a space heater and cranked it up to 60c and stuck it on top of him. 1 brute every minute.
Should have tried lighting him on fire for shits and giggles but the shuttle got called because nuke ops. I waved at one from the viro space window.

Viro would be immensely more enjoyable if diseases were more prominent in the game and Viro focused more on treating than just adding other avenues to heal the already piss easy system
Would be cool if An area that isn’t clean can eventually start rolling for a random disease kinda like miasma in Df but not as punishing. Finally a use for that sterilization chem if it’s still in

Re: Virology Healing Nerfs
We should add infections and make the virologist the guy who makes vaccines/antibiotics to heal infections and viruses. Going off of what Cobby said, viruses should be more prevalent but less annoying overall. Viro is focused on healing those viruses and studying them. By studying viruses that come up, they earn randomly generated symptoms which can be used to build their own virus. Virus crates would obviously accelerate this due to the massive amount of exotic viruses they get.
Best case scenario, besides a few well known viruses, each virus would be it's own "strain" with a randomly generated set of symptoms and name when shown on the health analyzer. Getting these symptoms alone in a culture body for just those symptoms, studying monkey effects of the virus for random chance of more symptoms, and studying effects on a human gets the best effect. Could even tie this into techwebs, the more advanced symptoms viro discovers the more points science gets.

Re: Virology Healing Nerfs
I like these ideas, i think my next rework will make viro into a catch-the-wild-virus-and-use-it-for-good kinda thing. Maybe lavaland creatures would give more exotic diseases, xenobio could pitch in, and so on

All you had to do was removing the P.A.N.D.E.M.I.C. or whatever it is called that just shows you the symptoms you acquired so you actually had to test it on the monkeya in the little rooms and observe the effects of the virus and note the symptoms.

As long as viruses can still kill people viro is doing it's actual job.
You lynch viro for a reason you know.
Would have preferred coded downsides to regen effects that require more complex intervention like tumours or something but making healing viruses impotent is alright for now.
