Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
First on the table: Mr. Person is trying to remove Warm Donk Pockets.
Reason I complain: Its removing a feature that simply is not harming balance or gameplay in any way.

Fixes duping donk pockets and fixes the duping of reagents inside donk pockets. it's entirely necessary.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
Its just donk pockets. Such a rare scenario to see a Chef duping them in the first place. Even if it ever happened it was more for the entertainment than for the sake of powergaming/making infinite food/tricord.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
It'd be pretty sad to see someone trying to make infinite donk. Like, what are you doing with your life if you feel the need to farm infinite tricord from donk pockets.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
Remember when people forcefed others with syndie cakes at random in the past, back when they damaged non-traitors and healed traitors to test them?
Remember when ghosts could spin chairs and people used it as a super-easy-to-make ouija board for finding traitors?
Those got removed because a select tiny number of people were total shitheads with it and ruined it for the rest of us. Being able to dupe chems here is another exploit that could easily let you make as much cyanide or nanites as you want (from xenobio). This isn't even a small amount of the stuff, either, you can quickly make gigantic amounts here. You can have something like a thousand units at the cap.
That and being able to infinitely dupe food is really weird. No other item in the game is "heated".
Admittedly it'd be easy enough to fix this thing by just having a cooked version of donk pockets and no cooling-down period.

So if the PR is going through, can you alteast add the same amount of tricord to the Chilli Miners get? They did kinda use donk pockets for healing minor damage after all.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
Its just a suggestion. No need for attitude. Besides, Mining station only has one normal medkit, right? Thats hardly useful for healing 2-3 damage on multiple limbs. The sleeper requires a second person, so that aint ever gonna be useful.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
You mean the oxy loss kit and the one white kit? Those "multiple kits?" He's right. The donk pockets are used for healing minor wounds that don't merit burning a bruise pack or ointment for. They have a legitimate purpose while also meeting a miner's food requirements without carting themselves back to the station and half way across.paprika wrote:"They did kinda use donk pockets for healing minor damage after all."

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
They can be the difference between surviving that last Goliath slam because you ran out of bruise packs, or dying cold, alone and hungry, wishing you still had your microwavable food
It's a silly way to fix a sort of stupid issue on an out-of-the-way item.
Seriously if anything the donk pockets can take you out of the CRIPPLING SLOW zone which makes the snail's pace of a miner marginally less maddening

Who the fuck would spend their time duping tricord when they have to be making massive amounts of food to satiate the crew with the hunger update?Cipher3 wrote:It'd be pretty sad to see someone trying to make infinite donk.

There is a single medkit. It's pretty poor form to take anything beyond a single bruise pack and ointment so the other miners can have a shot at survival as well. It is infinitely more convenient to have additional items at the outposts that serve to top off minor injuries and prevent waste of a bruise pack, as opposed to saying "Hm, I guess it is now time to walk back across the entire mining Asteroid, slowly because I am injured, go into the outpost, ride the shuttle, meander halfway across the station, and ask Medbay if they would be so kind as to heal me."paprika wrote:Miners shouldn't be self-sustaining anyway, go to medbay or chemistry if you want more medical shit or plan on fighting monsters.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
Miners shouldn't be self sufficiet entirely, which means:
A: Miners should lose some items that allow them to entirely ignore the station.
and
B: Miner production needs to be increased to compensate and allow the same flow of materials to be produced.
Donk pocket nerfs help A, and don't slow down production enough to require the code to adress B... alone.
Also, the title of this thread is awful.

A donk pocket has what, 5 tricord? How the fuck is this enough of an issue that it needs to be balanced? There is literally 0 other reason to upgrade microwaves otherwise, and the ENTIRE reason that mining has donk pockets and the microwave is for healing.

The problem is that you can inject donk pockets with your own chems. Up to about a thousand units, and can regain these through grinding it and chem master/condiment mastering it.
Then you can dupe that literally by the thousands of units, effectively having infinite anything you put in it at the push of a button.
Futhermore, all food works by having you take a set amount per bite, and then taking an appropriate and equal amount from all chems in the food, nutriment being the only thing that eventually makes you too full to keep going. You will be able to chew on the donk pocket a few hundred times, getting bursts of 5 chems of whatever you duped every time, and can be stored in your pocket.
Imagine a syringe with healing chems that never run out. That's what this is.
Apparently I was an director or something.

Oh. Yeah, I see how that would be an issue.
Please though, whatever the fix is, don't just remove donks. As a miner I use the donks for healing almost every single round.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
I have never seen someone do that. Hell, why can donk pockets store so many reagents when all other foods cannot contain nearly as many units? This fix doesnt even change that.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
All foods and people can hold up to 1000 units of stuff.
Donk Pockets are the only things that can be duped through microwaves.
Even without the max laser upgrade 1 donk -> 2 donk, then 4 donk, then 8 donk, and so on. Sure you can cook other foods to make two or three of, but that's the end of the line. You can't put them back in the microwave.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
Since when? Pretty sure whenever i injected reagents into food in the past it eventually gave me a message saying it was full. Regardless, this seems like the obvious fix would be to limit the max amount of reagent food can contain to something... lower than 1000.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
I could be wrong about that, maybe its just the badmin buttons that lets me throw 1,000 into it since it usually defaults to the max volume for the container.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
I just tried it on a private server(the server is a little out of date though). There is a max amount of reagent you can inject, and its nowhere near 1000 units. Hell, it isnt even 100 units. Tried injecting 3 different foods(Donut, Banana Pie and a Donk Pocket) and tried injecting them with multiple reagents. Nothing worked. So either its a bug with a newer /tg/ version or im doing something wrong.
Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
Most food stuff can store up to 50 units of reagents

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
Don't you have to let donk pocket cool before you can re-microwave them? Also I find it a tad ironic that we're removing the only microwave recipe, that actually involves just microwaving something, as opposed to every other recipe that uses it as some magic omni-cooker. Can food mutiplication just be removed? It makes no sense that a good laser can turn my one steak into three. Make it inprove the nutriment/whatever that other good value is instead of magic multiplication.

I find it odd that people complain about running out of healing as a miner, when there's A) A medkit, B) An enemy type designed explicitly for the purpose of functioning as a health pack.

When I tested on Basil, I filled a donk pocket to the brim with doctor's delight and nuked it with an upgraded microwave. One warm and one cold donk pocket came out of the microwave. I ate the warm one and scanned myself in a sleeper, and had ~5 tricord and 50 doctor's delight as expected. I grinded the second "clone" donk pocket.

Re: Bullshit Removals and Coder Complaints.
Tricord only exists (existed) in warm pockets. That was the point in warming them in the first place.
